简要总结
The objective of this study is to implement and test the efficacy of the "Summer Harvest Adventure," a comprehensive garden-based behavioral, social, and environmental intervention for children (ages 8-11 years) residing in low-resource communities.
详细描述
The investigators will conduct a 2-arm randomized controlled trial designed to determine the efficacy of a multifaceted obesity prevention and lifestyle intervention in low-resource children and parent/adult caregiver (PAC) called "Summer Harvest Adventure." A total of 240 children (ages 8-11 years) will be randomized to the garden-based intervention (SHA) or an enhanced control group (MSP). Summer Harvest Adventure includes: 1) remote and group coaching using a focused motivational interviewing approach; 2) weekly fruit, vegetable, and herb harvesting to increase summer food access; and 3) group education for children and their families in a social setting. Assessments for both groups will be collected at orientation held one week prior to the intervention (week 0), and immediately following the completion of the intervention (week 10) by trained personnel that are blinded to participants' treatment arm assignment.

Produce Intake
时间窗: Baseline and 10 weeks
Change in fruit and vegetable intake as assessed by dermal skin carotenoid scores using Raman Spectroscopy (Pharmanex NuSkin Biophotonic Scanner model S3). Dermal skin carotenoid scores range 10,000-85,000, with higher scores indicating higher skin carotenoid levels.
