Standard HVP Curriculum- Mothers
Mother and their children participants will receive the standard Healthy Families America (HFA) home visitation curriculum delivered by trained home visitors. The HFA model meets the Department of Health and Human Services criteria for an "evidence-based early childhood home visiting service delivery model". HFA services begin prenatally and continue until children are 2-5yo. The curriculum focuses on strengthening parent-child relationships and family functioning, promoting positive child development, and linkage to community resources. Accredited home visitors are matched to families on cultural background and language, to provide culturally sensitive services. Home visitors receive weekly supervision, ongoing developmental training, and have limited caseloads (10-15 families) to meet their families' needs. Standard HVP Curriculum: Treatment in the control arm includes the content and services typically provided by the home visitation partner, which is focused on strengthening children's cognitive skills, early literacy skills, social/emotional and physical development.
Obesity Prevention - Mothers
Mother and their children participants will receive the standard Healthy Families America home visitation curriculum with the obesity prevention enhancement module, delivered by trained home visitors. Families are matched to home visitors based on their ethnicity/race and language preferences. The obesity prevention program targets 4 key behaviors (physical activity, fruit and vegetable consumption, sugary beverages, fried foods) aimed at reducing obesity risks in mothers and their children. Participants will also be provided opportunities to meet in groups with other participating mothers/infants to enhance social networks that support healthy eating and physical activity. Standard HVP Curriculum: Treatment in the control arm includes the content and services typically provided by the home visitation partner, which is focused on strengthening children's cognitive skills, early literacy skills, social/emotional and physical development. Obesity Prevention: Obesity prevention curriculum program targets 4 key behaviors (physical activity, increasing fruit and vegetable consumption, decreasing sugary beverages, and decreasing fried foods) aimed at reducing obesity risk in mothers and children. The module will also include weekly activity opportunities to develop social networks that foster healthy eating and physical activity.

Standard HVP Curriculum-Children
n=35 participants at risk
Child participants will receive the standard Healthy Families America (HFA) home visitation curriculum delivered by trained home visitors. The HFA model meets the Department of Health and Human Services criteria for an "evidence-based early childhood home visiting service delivery model". HFA services begin prenatally and continue until children are 2-5yo. The curriculum focuses on strengthening parent-child relationships and family functioning, promoting positive child development, and linkage to community resources. Accredited home visitors are matched to families on cultural background and language, to provide culturally sensitive services. Home visitors receive weekly supervision, ongoing developmental training, and have limited caseloads (10-15 families) to meet their families' needs. Standard HVP Curriculum: Treatment in the control arm includes the content and services typically provided by the home visitation partner, which is focused on strengthening children's cognitive skills, early literacy skills, social/emotional and physical development.
