How the COACH study supports healthier families

Sponsored by Pennington Biomedical Research Center

Pennington Biomedical Research Center is sharing an opportunity for families to participate in the COACH Study, a 12-month research program that is focused on helping families improve their health through lifestyle changes.

The COACH Study is designed to support both children and parents as they work together toward healthier habits.

Families who participate will receive:

  • Personalized nutrition counseling sessions
  • Quarterly visits with their child’s primary care provider
  • Visits with a community resource counselor, who will provide resources to help support your family’s goals
  • Access to online learning tools on the COACH website

While COACH only enrolls one child and one parent/ legal guardian into the study, COACH encourages the entire family to join in the lessons and work together toward their goals!
