Summary

This trial aims to help prevent childhood obesity by using pre-filled online grocery carts to help families shop more healthily.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for families with a child aged 2-5, where the parent/guardian is obese (BMI >30) and shops online at Tops/Aldi stores most of the time. The parent must be over 18 and speak English. It aims to help these families make healthier grocery choices.
What is being tested?
The study tests if using pre-filled, healthier default options in online grocery shopping carts can encourage better food choices among families with young children at risk of obesity, potentially improving their home diet.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this intervention involves changing shopping habits rather than medical or drug treatments, there are no direct side effects like those associated with medications. However, changes in diet may affect individual family members differently.
