The goal of this research study is to learn if the FoodiiS-Kids intervention is useful to parents and guardians of pediatric cancer survivors.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Primary Objective:

Assess the feasibility and acceptability of the FoodiiS intervention for parents of pediatric cancer survivors (recruitment, retention, satisfaction).

Secondary Objective:

Explore the preliminary efficacy of FoodiiS to improve diet quality and cooking behaviors among parents of pediatric cancer survivor.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Waitlist Control (No Treatment until after T1 and then Access to all FoodiiS Materials)

Target participants for this study will be parents/guardians of school-aged (5-12 years) pediatric cancer survivors that are within first 5 years off active treatment.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

FoodiiS plus Culinary Essentials Food Delivery

Intervention Type DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

The FoodiiS intervention will include videos, recipes, and other online healthy eating content adapted from previously developed materials.

Waitlist control

Intervention Type DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

The control group will receive no intervention until after T1. After the T1 data collection time point, the control group will receive all FoodiiS intervention materials.

FoodiiS (Digital Culnary Medicine Intervention + Culinary Essentials Food Delivery)

Target participants for this study will be parents/guardians of school-aged (5-12 years) pediatric cancer survivors that are within first 5 years off active treatment.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Culinary Essentials Food Delivery Only

Intervention Type DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

To support participants in effectively learning the healthy cooking strategies and mitigate access issues, investigators will provide participating families two home food deliveries of non-perishable culinary ingredients that are related to HCI practices including whole grain versions of common products (brown rice, whole wheat flour), healthier cooking oils (olive and canola), and a core selection of herbs and spices, among other goods.

Culinary Essential Food Delivery Alone (No Other Intervention)

Target participants for this study will be parents/guardians of school-aged (5-12 years) pediatric cancer survivors that are within first 5 years off active treatment.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Waitlist control

Intervention Type DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

The control group will receive no intervention until after T1. After the T1 data collection time point, the control group will receive all FoodiiS intervention materials.
