Allocation: RANDOMIZED
Intervention model: FACTORIAL
Primary purpose: PREVENTION

Brief summary: Examine the effect of three different dietary messages on dietary intake and the health of parents and their children.

Detailed description: The goal of this pilot study is to conduct a randomized controlled trial examining three dietary messages: increase fruits and vegetables \[INCREASE\], decrease energy-dense, non-nutrient dense snack foods \[DECREASE\], or increase fruits and vegetables plus decrease snack foods \[INCREASE+DECREASE\], within a 6-month, family-based obesity prevention intervention. Each condition will also focus on increasing family evening meals and physical activity. Primary hypotheses are: 1) INCREASE + DECREASE will consume a greater ratio of F\&Vs:SFs than INCREASE and DECREASE at 6 months.

2)INCREASE + DECREASE will consume less energy than INCREASE and DECREASE at 6 months.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* Children between ages 6-12 years
* BMI percentile \> 5th and \< 85th percentile for age and sex
* Have a parent aged \> 21 years with a BMI \> 25
* Have an overweight/obese parent willing to attend intervention meetings
* Parent and child speak and read English
* Not moving out of the metropolitan area during the course of the investigation

Exclusion Criteria:

* Reporting that the child and parent planning to participate have dietary restrictions related to fruit and vegetable intake
* Physical activity restrictions
* A parent reporting that she is pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or currently breastfeeding
