Abstract | Background: The aim of this study is to evaluate the feasibility and preliminary impact of the Create Healthy Futures program, a self-paced, 6-lesson, web-based intervention on promoting healthy eating for Early Care and Education (ECE) providers, using a group-randomized controlled trial design with 3 repeated measurements. Methods: Nine ECE facilities in Ohio were recruited and randomly assigned to intervention (N = 4) and comparison (N = 5). The 111 participants are mostly female (97.3%), college graduated (59.5%), and overweight or obese (75.2%). Nutrition-related psychosocial and environmental factors and individual behaviors were assessed at baseline, post-test, and 3-month follow-up. We used mixed model analyses to compare changes between time points, controlling for ethnicity, age, and center effect, and calculated effect size to assess the magnitude of change. Results: We observed significant between-group changes in improving nutrition knowledge (p = 0.003), increasing perceived support for staff wellness (p = 0.038), and reducing perceived barriers to eating fruits and vegetables (p = 0.004) and promoting nutrition in classrooms (p = 0.038), with small to medium effect sizes. The study demonstrated high feasibility with 94.1% enrollment rate, 87.5% intervention completion rate, and 83.8% retention rate. Conclusions: This pilot study demonstrated high feasibility and acceptability of nutrition intervention programs using an online platform among ECE providers. (As Provided). |
