Healthy Homes/Healthy Families (HH/HF) Intervention in 2-1-1 Callers

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
This trial will evaluate a healthy eating and weight gain prevention intervention for delivery through calls to the 2-1-1 number.

Detailed Description
-----------------
It is now well-established that obesity and excess weight increase the risk of cancer (i.e., colorectal and post-menopausal breast cancer), as well as other chronic diseases including diabetes, stroke, coronary heart disease, and arthritis. The World Cancer Research Fund and the American Institute for Cancer Research state maintenance of a healthy weight throughout life may be one of the most important ways to protect against cancer. Unfortunately, adults generally gain weight as they age. Healthy Homes/Healthy Families (HH/HF) Intervention involves a tailored home environment profile and a health coach working with participants to select and implement a series of healthy actions to create a home environment more supportive of healthy eating and physical activity. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) designated 2-1-1 as the 3-digit number to call for information and referrals to social services and other assistance in the United States. This study will evaluate a healthy eating and weight gain prevention intervention for delivery through 2-1-1 calls.

Masking: Single


Arms and Interventions

| Participant Group/Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
| --- | --- |
| Experimental: Healthy Homes/Healthy Families (HH/HF) Intervention<br>Participants randomized to the HH/HF study intervention will work with a coach through phone calls and text messages for 12 weeks to set goals targeting home-based environmental determinants of dietary behaviors. | Behavioral: Health Homes/Healthy Families (HH/HF) Intervention<br>* The HH/HF Intervention involves coaching calls, text messages and intervention materials that are designed to increase behavioral capability, self-efficacy and behavioral intention to improve the home food environment for healthy eating and weight gain prevention. The intervention is delivered over a 12 week period.<br>|
| Active Comparator: Control<br>Participants in the control condition will receive two mailings which focus on the same dietary outcomes as the HH/HF intervention but without the home environment emphasis. | Behavioral: Control<br>* Participants in the control condition will receive two mailings on healthy eating, the first from the Dietary Guidelines For Americans 2015-2020, 8th Edition and the second from Choose MyPlate. Additionally, both mailings will include a food diary from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Mailings will be sent to participants one and six-weeks post-baseline. These materials focus on the same dietary outcomes being targeted in the HH/HF intervention, but without the home environment emphasis. Control group participants will receive their home environment profile with a list of healthy actions upon completion of the study.<br>|

What is the study measuring?
-----------------
Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Change in United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Healthy Eating Index (HEI) | The USDA HEI measures diet quality and is calculated from two telephone administered 24-hr dietary recalls (one weekday, one weekend day). The HEI evaluates foods with a scoring system using 13 components for different food groups and the key recommendations of the 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans. Scores range from 0 to 100 where a score of 100 is an ideal score indicating that a diet follows the key recommendations of the 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans. | Baseline, Month 4, Month 9 | 

Secondary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Change in Kcal per day intake | Kcal per day will be calculated and recorded. The most recent version of the Automated Self-Administered 24-hour dietary recall (ASA24) program prompts for food description details and automatically codes and calculates nutrient intakes using the USDA Food and Nutrient Database for Dietary Studies. The average of one weekday and one weekend day will be used to estimate Kcal per day at each time point. | Baseline, Month 4, Month 9 | 
| Change in self-reported weight | Participants will self-report weight in pounds each time point | Baseline, Month 4, Month 9 | 
| Changes to food environment | A home environment survey will be administered via telephone at each time point to assess household food inventory, food preparation methods, meals/snacks with the television on, use of non-home food sources for family meals, and frequency of shopping for fruits and vegetables. | Baseline, Month 4, Month 9 |
