Overview
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
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.
Interventions
- Dietary supplement FoodiiS plus Culinary Essentials Food Delivery
The FoodiiS intervention will include videos, recipes, and other online healthy eating content adapted from previously developed materials. - Dietary supplement Culinary Essentials Food Delivery Only
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. - Dietary supplement Waitlist control
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.
