This research followed the first three stages of the Medical Research Council framework for complex interventions: the theoretical, modeling and exploratory trial phases. A randomized control trial with parents of children better 2 to 5 years old was conducted. The program consisted of two hour long four sessions. Parents were grouped in small groups (7-8 participants) and guided by a facilitator whose role was to provide a participative and trusting atmosphere to share opinions and experience in healthy lifestyles and parenting. Data collection was performed at three time points (pre-intervention, post-intervention and follow-up) to asses the preliminary efficacy, acceptability and feasibility of the program.
