Summary

This trial will examine if eating meals as a family more often can help prevent heart disease.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for parents aged 18 or older with a child between 6-12 years old who isn't obese. The parent must have at least two CVD risk factors like smoking, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, lack of exercise, being overweight, or diabetes. They need to speak English and have internet access.
What is being tested?
The study is testing if having family meals together can help prevent heart disease (CVD). It compares the effects of standard dietary advice against the practice of sharing meals as a family on cardiovascular health.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves dietary changes rather than medication, side effects are not typical in the same way as drug trials. However, participants may experience changes in weight or eating habits.
