Data were from the Healthy Homes/Healthy Families study, a randomized, controlled trial testing the effectiveness of a coach-based intervention to prevent weight gain over time. Community input into study design was obtained through a community advisory board. Study participants were asked to complete baseline and 6- and 12-month follow-up telephone interviews. Data reported here are from baseline only. The study was approved by the Emory Institutional Review Board and verbal consent was obtained from all participants.
