Study Description

Brief Summary: This trial will evaluate a healthy eating and weight gain prevention intervention for delivery through calls to the 2-1-1 number.

Detailed Description: It is now well-established that obesity and excess weight increase the risk of cancer (i.e., colorectal and post-menopausal breast cancer), as well as other chronic diseases including diabetes, stroke, coronary heart disease, and arthritis. The World Cancer Research Fund and the American Institute for Cancer Research state "maintenance of a healthy weight throughout life may be one of the most important ways to protect against cancer". Unfortunately, adults generally gain weight as they age. Healthy Homes/Healthy Families (HH/HF) Intervention involves a tailored home environment profile and a health coach working with participants to select and implement a series of healthy actions to create a home environment more supportive of healthy eating and physical activity. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) designated 2-1-1 as the 3-digit number to call for information and referrals to social services and other assistance in the United States. This study will evaluate a healthy eating and weight gain prevention intervention for delivery through 2-1-1 calls.
