About this trial
The goal of this study is to understand how to promote physical activity among families of preschool-aged children. Participants will complete 6 weekly, in-person sessions with their 3-5 year old child that last about one hour. To evaluate this program, we will ask participants to complete: surveys before and after the 6-week program; a brief evaluation survey after each session, and a group interview that lasts about one hour after the final session. By doing this study, we hope to learn about the strategies that support and encourage families to be active together.

Families Moving Together
BehavioralThe Families Moving Together intervention was co-designed with community leaders and caregivers to address these barriers and promote physical activity co-participation among families. This evidence-based curriculum consists of six progressive lessons aimed at helping families learn, practice, and sustain an active lifestyle. The goals of this study are to increase community awareness of the importance of physical activity, create changes in parent and child physical activity, and increase parent physical activity knowledge and self-efficacy for promoting family physical activity.
