The Healthy Lifestyles Passport Program: a Randomized Control Trial of a Prenatal Maternal Education Program to Prevent Infant and Childhood Obesity (HLPP)
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the Healthy Lifestyles
Passport Program (HLPP) in preventing infant and childhood obesity. It is hypothesized that
the participants in the intervention arm will exhibit less excessive weight-for-length gain
from 4- to 6-months of age. In 2-years and 5-years, it is predicted that the participants in
the intervention arm will yield lower Body Mass Index (BMI) z-scores than the participants
in the control arm, who receive usual care.
