Conceptual model for the Colorado LEAP study. This model illustrates a multidimensional approach to addressing healthy growth in young children. The bottom of the figure depicts the intervention’s impact on Eating and Physical activity-related behaviors which then may influence Diet, Physical Activity, and Growth. These behaviors occur in multiple environments (micro-, meso-, & macrosystems; colored boxes) that are influenced by roles and social norms. Individual and environmental characteristics (black font) may interact with behaviors, practices, and/or policies (white font) to influence healthy growth. The items listed in the white font in the Child characteristics and Home environment boxes are the outcome measures used in this study.
