Papás Saludables, Niños Saludables is a 10 week program for fathers and their children that meets weekly. Each session is 90 minutes long: 15 min introduction, 30 min pull-out sessions for fathers and children, and 45 min active play sessions together. Fathers are encouraged to improve their eating and physical behaviors to lose weight and to be healthy role models for their child. Children are encouraged to help their fathers lose weight and improve their health. The program has been adapted to contextualize the information for low-income Hispanic families and changed to US food and physical activity guidelines. Mothers will be provided a Handbook and will be sent short videos, recipe links, and short motivational messages every week covering the same topics as in the sessions.

The same program as above delivered to the wait-list control after the T1 follow-up data has been collected.
