History of Changes

Purpose

This study will evaluate the efficacy of a six-month-long intervention in improving the nutrition and physical activity environments of child care centers serving racially and ethnically diverse children from birth to two years of age and the family home. The focus of the intervention will be on center policies, provider and parent practices, and children's home environments that influence dietary intake and physical activity. Outcomes for this study include child dietary intake, physical activity, and two adiposity measures: weight-for-length and skinfold thicknesses. Child care centers and children's home environments will also be measured to evaluate how well they support healthy behaviors.

Primary Outcome Measures:

change in weight-for-length z-score [ Time Frame: pre to post-intervention (from baseline to post-intervention; approximately 8 months later) ]

change in child physical activity via accelerometer [ Time Frame: pre to post-intervention (from baseline to post-intervention; approximately 8 months later) ]
change in child dietary intake [ Time Frame: pre to post-intervention (from baseline to post-intervention; approximately 8 months later) ]
change in child care policies and practices [ Time Frame: pre to post-intervention (from baseline to post-intervention; approximately 8 months later) ]

Estimated Primary Completion Date:	October 2017 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)

Arms	Assigned Interventions
Active Comparator: Back to Sleep The Back to Sleep arm will encourage safe sleep practices to reduce the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) in child care and at home. This include: center and family self-assessment, center intervention materials delivered several times over the 6-month period, and; parent handouts After the intervention period, comparator centers will receive an abbreviated version of the Baby NAP SACC intervention.	Behavioral: Back to Sleep
Experimental: Baby NAP SACC The intervention will include four complementary and mutually reinforcing components: center and family self-assessment; targeted technical assistance by Baby NAP SACC consultant for providers and parents; training workshops for child care providers; and parent outreach and support.	Behavioral: Baby NAP SACC

Arms

Assigned Interventions

Active Comparator: Back to Sleep

The Back to Sleep arm will encourage safe sleep practices to reduce the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) in child care and at home. This include:

center and family self-assessment,
center intervention materials delivered several times over the 6-month period, and;
parent handouts

After the intervention period, comparator centers will receive an abbreviated version of the Baby NAP SACC intervention.

Behavioral: Back to Sleep

Experimental: Baby NAP SACC

The intervention will include four complementary and mutually reinforcing components:

center and family self-assessment;
targeted technical assistance by Baby NAP SACC consultant for providers and parents;
training workshops for child care providers; and
parent outreach and support.

Behavioral: Baby NAP SACC
