Background summary
Promoting a healthy diet is important to decrease the risk of developing
nutrition related chronic diseases. Nutritional intervention on apparently
healthy young parents, will not only decrease their risk of developing chronic
diseases, but will also influence the dietary pattern and health of their
children. Mass communication is not effective in changing the dietary pattern
of the general population. Research on individually tailored nutrition
counseling suggests that we should tailor the information to the individual to
achieve changes in dietary patterns.
Study objective
To determine the effect of an individually tailored nutrition intervention on
the dietary pattern of apparently healthy adults with one or more children aged
4 to 12 years.
Study design
Randomized controlled trial.
Intervention
The intervention group will receive individually tailored dietary counseling by
a dietician in five individual meetings, additional counseling will be done by
e-mail messages three times. Also e-mail and web-based messages will be
provided to motivate the participants. The control group will not receive any
dietary information during the intervention period.
Study burden and risks
This intervention study has a low risk. Only venipuncture*s can occasionally
cause local bruising or hematoma and patients might report pain or discomfort.
In total the subjects have to spent four hours at the university and have to
fill in several questionnaires. The people in the intervention group have to
spent and additional three hours by going to the dietician.
Both the intervention and control group will receive their personal results,
including the results of the health and diet check. Results that are not
relevant at the individual level we will present to them at the group level.
All results will be provided after the study. Thereby we will inform the
participants on the results of this intervention study via information
evenings.
The intervention group will also benefit from the provided tailored dietary
counseling, which will help them in making healthy food choices. The
intervention will not only benefit the participant but also the rest of their
family.
