Intervention
Parents are randomised into one of two groups below:
1. Tailored health information in combination with personal counselling
2. Usual care
Depending on the age of the child, the topics of the tailored health education program will differ. Parents of babies (n = 240) will receive health information on safety behaviors. Parents of toddlers (n = 240) will receive health information on overweight related health behaviors: physical activity and nutrition. Parents in the intervention group will access the computer-tailored health education program at their homes through the internet. After completion of the assessment questions, the program compiles a tailored health information handout. During the next well-child visit the well-child care provider will discuss this tailored health information with the parent.
