Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Goals: 1. Determine compliance of menus and meals provided in FCCH with CACFP guidelines. 2. Determine the effectiveness of a pilot community-based Nutrition Technical Assistance intervention to enhance meeting CACFP best-practices. 3. Determine the effectiveness of a statewide community-based Nutrition Technical Assistance Intervention to enhance meeting CACFP best-practices. 4. Expand university student opportunities for participation in health research.
Methods: Conduct a cross-sectional assessment of a random sample of FCCH providers' (n=52) menus and meals served. Foods will be evaluated against the CACFP requirements and best-practices. After the cross-sectional examination, providers in the pilot will be randomly assigned to a Nutrition Technical Assistance (n=26) or attention comparison intervention (n=26). Following the pilot, trained Extension Educators will implement both interventions (n=27 intervention, n=27 comparison) in six selected counties, reaching underserved rural and low-income populations. The intervention is based on theoretical foundations and formative interviews, and will consist of two 60-90-minute visits to the FCCH and one group class lasting approximately 3 hours.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Behavioral: Nutrition assistance
three encounters with Intervention team over three months: two home-based visits for 90 minutes each scheduled at the convenience of the provider and a 3- hour group class session with other providers.
Nutrition assistance
Participating family child care home providers in and around the Oklahoma City (OKC) area will be randomized to either the Nutrition (n=26), or an environmental health comparison group (n=26). 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.
Behavioral: Children's environmental health
three encounters with Intervention team over three months: two home-based visits for 90 minutes each scheduled at the convenience of the provider and a 3- hour group class session with other providers.
Children's environmental health
Participating family child care home providers in and around the OKC area will be randomized to either the Nutrition (n=26), or an environmental health intervention (n=26) that will receive an Integrated Pest Management and Green Cleaning intervention with the same format and visit frequency. Briefly, the Intervention 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.
