Eat Healthy, Grow Healthy: Strategies to Promote Fruit and Vegetable Intake Among Preschoolers in Denton County to Prevent Childhood Obesity and Related Health Complications
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 30 Apr 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
The Eat Healthy, Grow Healthy (EatGrow) program is a family-based, fully virtual nutrition education intervention designed to improve fruit and vegetable intake among preschool-aged children. Parents and their children participate together in interactive online lessons over eight weeks, including parent-child cooking, taste-testing, and engaging nutrition education. Recruitment was conducted via schools, but schools are not involved in delivering the program. The study measures changes in children's fruit and vegetable intake and willingness to try new foods, as well as parental nutrition literacy, attitudes, and self-efficacy. Weekly tasks are included for engagement.
