Interventions are needed that effectively increase these health-related behaviors. Technology is often incorporated in health-related interventions but is not always independently assessed.<h4>Objective</h4>The objective of this study was to describe challenges and facilitators to incorporating technology into the iCook 4-H intervention program.<h4>Methods</h4>Dyads (n=228) composed of children (mean 9.4, SD 0.7 years old) and an adult primary meal preparer (mean 39.0, SD 8 years) were randomly assigned to a control (n=77) or treatment group (n=151).
