PACS
As part of the intervention, each PAC was introduced to the RD providing RDMI at baseline data collection visits (RDMI interactions focused on issues related to the dietary patterns of PACs; PACs were able to discuss other related topics of interest (e.g., weight loss) if desired. If PACs brought up questions regarding their child’s health (e.g., picky eating), the RD would answer these questions by drawing connections to PAC’s own dietary patterns. If requested, additional resources were delivered to PACs via email, however, counseling occurred only via phone.
