Abstract
Stress and isolation due to COVID-19 may affect how well parents can promote healthy weight gain in their babies. Because families with low incomes and from racial and ethnic minority backgrounds have a higher risk of serious complications from COVID-19, they likely have more stress than normal. With this enhancement, the research team will look at the impact of COVID-19 on families in the study and on the Greenlight and Greenlight Plus programs. Families in the study receive care at six clinics in the United States. They speak English and Spanish. Results may help identify services most important to families, such as mental health resources or how WIC delivers food.
