Objectives
: To assess log-on rates and change in mediating variables achieved from a webbased nutrition intervention for African American families.
Methods
: A parent and 9- to 12- year-old daughter (n=67 families) completed questionnaires measuring dietary
change mediating variables.
Results
: Overall log-on rate was 59%. Significant positive changes were noted in motherreported menu planning, self-efficacy, fruit/vegetable availability self-efficacy, modifying meat-fat practices, substitution fat practices, and healthy restaurant
selection, and daughter-reported parent modeling of eating fruit and vegetables.
Conclusion
: An Internet-delivered nutrition intervention for families was successful in achieving change in some mediating variables, with modest log-on rates. Future research should investigate
impact on dietary behaviors.",
