Nutrition assistance
Participating family child care home providers in and around the Oklahoma City (OKC) area will be randomized to either the Nutrition, or an environmental health comparison group. Briefly, the Nutrition Technical Assistance Intervention and comparison group will consist of three encounters with the intervention team: two home-based, 90-minute visits scheduled at the convenience of the family child care home provider and a 3-hour group class session that will be conducted on a weekend. Total contact time with intervention staff will be 6 hours. All participants will receive a toolkit. Providers will complete either intervention over a period of three months.
