Brief summary
The goal is to build social/cultural, political/economic, and physical/built environments that will promote active play and intake of healthy food to prevent young child obesity in the Pacific Region. Our methods will support local culture in order to achieve this goal in these remote, underserved native populations. CHL will engage the community, and focus on capacity building and sustainable environmental change. The focus of the CHL community-based program is to promote healthy eating and to increase physical activity. In order to demonstrate effectiveness, the investigators will recruit and measure children in six communities selected in each of our jurisdictions in the Pacific. These represent intervention communities, comparison communities, and temporal communities.
Detailed description
The specific objectives of our study are as follows. Objective. Decrease the prevalence of young child overweight and obesity; and its functional outcomes (decrease acanthosis nigricans, and increase sleep; increase moderate to vigorous physical activity and decrease sedentary behavior (screen time); increase healthy eating (fruit and vegetable intake, water intake; decrease sweetened beverage intake), through community-based primary prevention environmental interventions in the Pacific region. Objective. Measure 2-8-year-old children at baseline and 24 months in selected communities to track behaviors and anthropometry that indicate healthy eating, physical activity, and BMI. Objective. Measure 2-8 year old children at 78 months in the selected communities to determine the long term effect of the CHL program.
Interventions

Participant flow
Recruitment details
communities were selected where \>25% of the population was of indigenous/native descent (native to each jurisdiction), \>10% of the population was under age 10 years, \>1000 population size, and communities were relatively accessible
Pre-assignment details
Eighteen selected communities were matched for size and randomized within jurisdiction to intervention or control. Nine additional communities were monitored with no randomization for temporal trends of obesity. 2-8 year old children and their households and environments were measured and evaluated in each of these communities.
