Abstract

Relatively few interventions target the home food environment of adults for weight gain prevention. Using a pretest/posttest design, this study describes the adaptation and pilot testing of Healthy Homes/Healthy Families, a research-tested home food environment intervention, for telephone delivery to 2-1-1 clients (n = 101). The Healthy Eating Index-2015, a measure of diet quality, improved significantly at 4-month follow-up, as did the home food environment, with energy consumption improving in the expected direction. Overall findings suggest the simplified intervention will still be effective, although results may be attenuated and additional efforts may be needed for participant retention among 2-1-1 clients.
