About
The purpose of this pilot study was to test the feasibility and efficacy of a balanced lifestyle intervention for caregivers and their children with obesity, conducted in partnership with Envolve, Inc., a family of comprehensive health solutions and wholly owned subsidiary of Centene Corporation.
Full description
This pilot study employed a pretest-posttest design to assess the feasibility and efficacy of the Raising Well at Home pilot intervention delivered by peer coaches on weight (caregiver/child), behaviors (eating, walking), and the home environment. The Raising Well at Home intervention was delivered via home visits with additional support via text or phone over 6 months, beginning after completion of the baseline assessment. This study was implemented in partnership with the parent Raising Well programs located in three states: Florida, Louisiana, and Missouri. The caregiver and the child's height and weight were measured by trained staff in the home with the same scale and stadiometer at the pre- and post-intervention time points. Measures were completed on a paper survey with the same caregiver pre and post intervention delivery.
