PROJECT NARRATIVE The overall goal of this project is to test an adapted health promotion program, HomeGrown, that leverages home environmental changes to improve the health of young children with Down syndrome. There is a critical need for evidence-based health promotions programs targeting healthy eating and physical activity that specifically address the unique demands of families of young children with Down syndrome. This work would improve inclusion in, and equity of, health behavior promotion efforts previously limited to typically developing children.
