Reboot Kids: feasibility of an online healthy eating intervention, delivered to parents of childhood cancer survivors aged 2-16 years old

Abstract

This trial is investigating the feasibility, acceptability, and effectiveness of an educational intervention, Reboot Kids, delivered to parents of childhood cancer survivors aged 2 years or older.

Who is it for? You may be eligible for this study if you are a parent of young cancer survivors aged 2 to 16 years old, recently off treatment

Study details Parents will be randomly allocated (by chance) to one of two arms. Participants in the intervention arm will be invited to fill out one online questionnaire and complete one telephone questionnaire about their child's/family's eating and cooking habits, up to two-weeks before and up to two weeks after the intervention. All parents will be asked to complete 4 online learning modules and up to 4 telephone sessions, over 8-weeks immediately. While participants in the waitlist control arm will receive the intervention 12 weeks later.

Information from this study will help investigators examine the feasibility and efficacy of the Reboot Kids website to increase children's intake of vegetables and fruit and increase parent confidence in managing their child's eating habits, after finishing cancer treatment.
