StEP OUT is a pilot study testing an online program that teaches pregnant women and new parents about nutrition and healthy feeding practices to help prevent childhood obesity. Half of participants will receive nutrition education and parenting support through video lessons and a group chat, while the other half will receive text messages with links to general prenatal and infant health information. The study will measure whether families find the program helpful and whether it improves parents' knowledge and healthy practices.
Childhood obesity is a serious health problem, especially in Hispanic and Latinx communities. This study is designed to test whether teaching families about nutrition and healthy feeding from pregnancy onward can help prevent babies from becoming overweight and reduce obesity risk early in life.

If you join this study, you will be randomly assigned to receive either the nutrition and parenting support program or the comparison group receiving health and safety information via text messages. The nutrition program group will participate in online video lessons and group chats with other parents to learn about healthy feeding practices during pregnancy and after your baby is born. You'll be asked to share information about your knowledge, feeding practices, and your baby's growth at different timepoints to help researchers see if the program is helpful.
