The National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIMHD), under the Minority Health and Health Disparities Research (CFDA 93.307) program, awarded a $311,579 Project Grant to Minnesota Healthsolutions Corporation (MHS) in collaboration with Mayo Clinic. The grant supports the development of an "Inclusive Online Interactive Platform for Parents in Rural Settings to Promote Healthy Habits". The project aims to create a digital platform that will prompt and support positive behavior change for rural families, who face higher rates of obesity, type 2 diabetes, and physical inactivity compared to urban populations. MHS and Mayo Clinic will utilize iterative user feedback to develop the platform based on theory and best practices in user interface design. During Phase I, a prototype of the platform will be tested with the intended user population for usability and acceptability. The grant award period is from August 13, 2024 to July 31, 2025.
