Conclusion
This study offers important implications for on-the-ground research and practice. Grounded in CBPR, CHL serves as a model for community-led measure selection and implementation on a large scale. Study results suggest intervention exposure was associated with statistically but not clinically significant increases in BMIz and increased odds of meeting recommendations for three of eight child behaviors; premature trial suspension may explain mixed results. With the trial prematurely suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we were unable to observe longer-term changes in parenting practices and child behaviors which may have followed these empowerment increases. However, this intervention offers a feasible model for future researchers to build on for the largescale monitoring and modification of parent and child health behavior and weight status in the early childcare education context.
