Patient information material
Target number of participants 50
Interventions Intervention: Family based behavioural, dietary and physical activity lifestyles modification program of six months duration. Provision of goods: a water cooler, grocery and water.

Control: Families randomised to control:
1. Attend a 30-minute introductory session with our health counsellors
2. Are provided with written material, including Canada’s Food Guide to Healthy Eating and Canada’s Physical Activity Guide to Healthy Active Living, which outline suggestions for healthy living
3. After the baseline health assessment, control households receive their body mass index (BMI) and waist to hip measurements, and the Health Canada’s Healthy Weight Chart. However, no specific individualised program is offered as with intervention families.
4. The after-school physical activity program is also open to school-aged children from control households in order to minimize the sentiment that children in intervention households have received superior opportunities compared to control households
5. We also have a help phone line to answer any household’s (control or intervention) nutrition or activity questions during working hours.
