  Purpose

The purpose of the study is to learn how to make homes more supportive of healthy eating and physical activity. As part of the study, participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group will receive materials with information on healthy eating and physical activity. The materials will be mailed 3 times over a 5 month period. The other group will work with a coach to make their homes more supportive of healthy eating and physical activity. Working with a coach involves 3 home visits and 4 coaching telephone calls over a 5 month period. This group will also receive materials by mail 4 different times. All participants will be asked to complete 7 telephone interviews over a 1 year period. Participants will also be asked to wear an accelerometer, a small portable device that tracks movement from physical activity, for 7 days at 2 different points in the study.
