Family Grocery Study R01
Promoting Healthy Dietary Intake Among Families With Obesity Via a Grocery Shopping Intervention
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 8 Sept 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
Obesity continues to be a major public health concern, and children who are overweight by age 5 are at increased risk for future obesity, highlighting the importance of early efforts to promote healthy eating and growth. The goal of this project is to test a new family-based approach to early childhood obesity prevention, specifically using pre-filled, online grocery shopping carts to make it easier for parents to select healthy foods like fruits and vegetables. This study will be the first to test whether such default shopping carts can help promote the purchasing and consumption of healthier foods, as well as healthier diets and weight outcomes, among parents with obesity and their 2-to-5-year-old children, offering the potential for a meaningful impact on the health of young children and their families.
