Title: Family-based Approach in a Minority Community Integrating Systems-Biology for Promotion of Health (FAMILIA)
Brief Summary: Problem: Childhood obesity has more than doubled over the past 30 years, with nearly one-third of children aged 6 to 11 years being obese. These children are more likely to become obese adults and are at a higher risk for the development of diabetes, hypertension, heart disease and cancer.

Approach: This research tests the hypothesis that habits are formed very early in life and that children can help their parents live healthier lives. The investigators attempt to test this hypothesis by evaluating the impact of an educational program focusing on diet, physical activity, knowledge of the human body, and management of emotions for preschool children aged 3 to 5 years, their parents/caregivers and teachers. The investigators will first assess the environmental factors, facilitators, and barriers to implementation of a health promotion educational program tailored for preschoolers in Harlem, New York. This information will be used to tailor the educational program for the children in Harlem. The investigators will evaluate the effectiveness of the program in children aged 3 to 5 years by randomly assigning blocks of schools to a 4-month educational and playful health promotion intervention or to usual curriculum. The program will also have components for teachers and parents of these children in order to make their learning environment conducive to positive change. The impact of our program will be assessed on children's knowledge, attitudes, habits, weight, exercise and diet using simple questionnaires and measurements.

Impact: The investigators expect to demonstrate a positive impact on knowledge, attitudes and habits in preschool children in an under-served population. Also aim is to demonstrate that this early educational program can increase the proportion of preschool aged children with normal weight. This approach has the potential to meaningfully modify the projected rise in obesity and cardiovascular disease by affecting an entire generation of children. The investigators believe that the healthy habits that the children will acquire through this program will lead them to be healthier adults. Thus, the mission aligns closely with the American Heart Association's mission of, "Building healthier lives, free of cardiovascular diseases and stroke".


Options:
A: Physical Activity Level (The intervention spans a period of 6 months. Outcomes are measured before and after intervention.); Physical Literacy (The intervention spans a period of 6 months. Outcomes are measured before and after intervention.); Dietary Intake (The intervention spans a period of 6 months. Outcomes are measured before and after intervention.)
B: Maintenance of a Child's Body Mass Index as a result of the intervention (up to two years)
C: Change in Child BMI-z score (Collected at the beginning and end of each academic year (i.e., fall, spring) for 3 years (BL, Y1, Y2) rather than 4 years as planned); Modified change in BMI z-score (Collected at the beginning and end of each academic year (i.e., fall, spring) for 3 years (BL, Y1, Y2))
D: Change in children's Knowledge, attitude, habit (KAH) scores (baseline and 5 months)

Answer: D
