TL;DR
The High 5 for Preschool Kids suggests the need for, and promise of, early home intervention for childhood obesity prevention and demonstrates the importance of participatory approaches in developing externally valid interventions.
Abstract
H5-KIDS suggests the need for, and promise of, early home intervention for childhood obesity prevention. It demonstrates the importance of participatory approaches in developing externally valid interventions, with the potential for dissemination across national parent education programs as a means for improving the intake of parents and young children.
