Styles tailored to families with children 6 to 11 years will be evaluated via a randomized controlled trial designed to determine whether this novel, age-appropriate, family intervention enables and motivates English-and Spanishspeaking parents to shape their home environments and weight-related lifestyle practices (diet, exercise, sleep) to reduce risk of obesity during middle childhood more than those in the control condition. Students enrolled in coursework and practicums will continue to be evaluated using rubrics and satisfaction surveys. Conclusions and Implications: This intervention will apply community-based participatory research principles and be aligned with current obesity prevention recommendations and behavior change theories. This project will provide a sustainable model for confronting and combating obesity and safeguarding health that can be brought to scale nationwide.

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common functional gastrointestinal disorder (FGID) that affects 10-20% of adults and adolescents worldwide. A connection has been identified between the consumption of some foods and an exacerbation of IBS symptoms. One nutrition therapy option for IBS is the low fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides, and polyols (FODMAP) diet. A lack of data describing the mechanism of action of this dietary pattern has led to insufficient evidence to establish standard clinical guidelines regarding the use of the low-FODMAP diet in IBS. This study aims to define the duration of the low-FODMAP diet elimination phase for optimal symptom relief and the nutritional adequacy of the low-FODMAP diet. Seventy patients with IBS attended low-FODMAP diet group education classes that were provided monthly, and those who consented to the study were instructed to follow the low-FODMAP diet for six weeks. Subjects completed an IBS-Symptom Severity Scale questionnaire (IBS-SSS) at baseline and at weeks 2, 4, and 6. Subjects completed a three-day diet record at baseline and week 2. Dietary compliance was assessed through daily high-FODMAP food checklists. A total of 35 participants enrolled in this study. Complete data was available for 14 (40%) participants. Incomplete data was available for 2 (6%) participants, and 19 (54%) dropped out of the study. Forty-three percent of the original participants (15/35
