Feasibility of a culturally adapted technology-delivered, family-based childhood obesity intervention for Latino/Hispanic families in rural Nebraska: the Hispanic Family Connections study protocol.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Addressing childhood obesity risk factors like home environment, parental roles, excess weight, physical activity and healthy eating among Latino/Hispanic (L/H) families living in rural communities is an important priority. However, evidence supporting these interventions among L/H families living in rural communities is missing. Our trial will use cultural adaptation and implementation science frameworks to evaluate the feasibility of delivering a culturally appropriate family-based childhood obesity (FBCO) programme via an automated telephone system (interactive voice response) to L/H families in rural Nebraska.

Methods and analysis

A mixed-methods feasibility trial for L/H families with overweight or obese children. Aim 1 will focus on collaboratively adaptin
