About this trial

The aim of the Bloom Study is to promote healthy weight development among infants through a home-based health promoting intervention implemented in the Danish setting of community health nurses. The intervention begins during pregnancy and runs until the child reaches the age of 30 months.

The Bloom Intervention was developed over a six-year period from 2017 to 2023 according to the Intervention Mapping approach and based on a co-creation process.

The Bloom Intervention is evaluated in a cluster-randomized trial involving 22 Danish municipalities (11 intervention and 11 control). All children born from first-time mothers over a period of 12 months are invited to participate.
