Research Projects

PODER Phase I and II: The purpose of the study is to understand more about eating, physical activity, and health behaviors in Latino families who have a child with a developmental disability. We are doing this study because children with developmental disabilities are at high risk of being overweight and their family members may also have health problems. We do not know enough about the health of Latino children with developmental disabilities and their families, or how to support them. This study will help us learn about your eating, physical activity, and health behaviors, so we can create better ways to support the health of Latino families like yours.

PODER Phase III: The purpose of the study is to pilot test an intervention designed for Latino families of children with IDD to help promote healthy behaviors. We are doing this study because children with developmental disabilities are at high risk of being overweight and their family members may also have health problems. We designed this intervention with input from people like you to make sure it is useful and relevant to your day to day life.
