Revised ESBA

Four intervention site staff will implement the ESBA-FFYF feeding curriculum in classes using standardized implementation protocols. Two of the four intervention sites will also participate in the Food Rx program. The control group sites will receive the existing ESBA curriculum. All program materials will be available in English and Spanish. Study participation will be maintained via weekly phone calls/text messaging by the Extension staff. For the online feeding practices content, participants will receive messages to visit the project website and watch the videos, participate in online activities, and engage in facilitated online discussions. For the Food Rx arm, participants will receive a 'Food Rx' card for bi-weekly redemption of \~30 lbs of fresh produce, plus whole grains, lean protein and low-fat dairy at a co-located Houston Food Bank food pantry. The prescription will be eligible for redemption every two weeks for 3 months, for a total of 6 redemptions.
