About

The goal of this study is to understand how to promote physical activity among families of preschool-aged children. Participants will complete 6 weekly, in-person sessions with their 3-5 year old child that last about one hour. To evaluate this program, we will ask participants to complete: surveys before and after the 6-week program; a brief evaluation survey after each session, and a group interview that lasts about one hour after the final session. By doing this study, we hope to learn about the strategies that support and encourage families to be active together.

Families Moving Together intervention

Experimental group

Description:

Participants will be asked to attend each 1-hour session with their 3 to 5 year old child. Each session will have the same structure with different health education content. The components of each session include: welcome, warm up, and opening discussion (15 minutes), interactive educational session (15 minutes), family movement game (15 minutes), summary, take home materials, and evaluation (15 minutes). Briefly, educational content for the sessions includes: adult and child physical activity guidelines, physical activity benefits, barriers and facilitators for physical activity, evidence based strategies for increasing family physical activity, building a support system for physical activity, goal setting, and maintaining physical activity changes. After each session, families will be encouraged to complete home-based physical activity challenges and receive additional educational resources
