This study aims to test the effectiveness of a community-based, peer-mentored intervention to improve home food preparation practices in families with young children.
Barriers to healthy eating and active living are at the heart of the obesity epidemic. This study focuses on a key factor underlying healthy eating: home food preparation. This study aims to test the effectiveness of a community-based, peer-mentored intervention to improve home food preparation practices in families with young children. The investigators will partner with community-based organizations serving families with children ages 1 to 3 years in West Philadelphia aiming specifically to:
Test the intervention's effect on diet and physical health.
Hypothesis 1: The intervention group will have improved home food preparation practices and a healthier diet compared to the control group.
Test the intervention's effect on family health.
Hypothesis 2: The intervention group will report improved parenting skills and more hopeful patterns of thinking.

Behavioral: Home Plate
Home Plate is a community-based, peer mentored intervention aimed at improving home food preparation practices in families with young children. Through 6 classes, this intervention explores topics related to regularly preparing healthy foods at home.
Dietary Energy Density (Child Participants)
Child participants' 24-hour dietary recalls will be collected by trained study staff from adult caregivers. 24-hour dietary recalls will be collected on a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 3 separate days. The results will then be used to calculate the energy density of the child's diet.
Time frame: 19-30 weeks from baseline
Home Food Preparation Practices
Adult participants will complete surveys to assess the foods they usually prepare at home, as well as the time, energy, and confidence they have to prepare meals for their household.
Time frame: 19-30 weeks from baseline
Home Food Environment
Adult participants will complete surveys to assess the foods currently available in their homes, how they feel about managing food-related tasks, and the interactions they have with their child(ren) regarding food and eating.
Time frame: 19-30 weeks from baseline
Household Routines
Adult participants will complete surveys to assess their household routines related to activities such as sleep, physical activity, and screen time.
Time frame: 19-30 weeks from baseline
Emotional and Family Health
Adult participants will complete surveys to assess the their emotional health and the health of their families.
Time frame: 19-30 weeks from baseline
Body mass index
Heights and weights will be measured by trained study staff and will be used to calculate body mass index (BMI) of adult and child participants.
Time frame: 19-30 weeks from baseline
Dietary Energy Density (Adult Participants)
24-hour dietary recalls will be collected by trained study staff from adult study participants. 24-hour dietary recalls will be collected on a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 3 separate days. The results will then be used to calculate dietary energy density.
Time frame: 19-30 weeks from baseline
Diet Quality
In addition to dietary energy density, 24-hour dietary recall data will be used to calculate both child and adult study participants' intake of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and added sugars.
Time frame: 19-30 weeks from baseline
