This Phase 2 trial will to examine the efficacy of a brief dyad-based motivational interview (PAIRS MI) delivered to friend dyads with an active treatment-as-usual condition, and a 1-year follow-up.

This proposal includes a prospective, parallel group, two-arm RCT with 264 adult-child dyads (adult age 18+, child ages 5-17 years) to examine the effectiveness of the Growing Healthy Hearts (GHH) intervention versus a wait list control on cardiovascular and behavioral health outcomes at 3-, 6- and 12-months follow-up (Aim 1). This proposal will also examine the effect of GHH on home fruit and vegetable (FV) availability, frequency of home-prepared meals that include FV, and child behaviors (FV intake and PA) at 3-, 6- and 12-month follow-up (Aim 2) and intervention implementation (Aim 3)

This study aims to examine the effect of a training program based on Emancipatory Knowing on nurses' awareness and practices related to carbon footprint reduction in postpartum nursing care. In the first phase of the study, the carbon footprint of postpartum nursing care procedures - including those performed after both vaginal and cesarean deliveries - will be measured and compared using a validated observation-based inventory. In the second phase, nurses working in postpartum units will receive a structured educational intervention developed within the PEACE+G model framework. Before and after the training, nurses' carbon footprint-related knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors will be assessed. Findings are expected to contribute to the development of environmentally sustainable nursing practices in women's health.
