Study design (if review, criteria of inclusion for studies)

RCT

Participants

10 mothers of children with CF ages 4-9 years.

Interventions

A web intervention (BeInCharge.org [BIC]) of behavior plus nutrition intervention. Randomization to the web-based BIC or a Standard Care Control (STC)..

Outcome measures

Change in weight gain for each group was compared in a pre- to-post design.

Main results

Mothers rated the usability and clarity of BIC highly. The pilot trial showed children of mothers who received BIC had a significant change in weight pre-to-post- treatment (0.67 kg, p = .04). Change for the STC was not significant (0.41 kg, p = .10).

Authors' conclusions

A web-based behavior plus nutrition intervention appears promising in increasing weight gain in children with CF.
