Feasibility and benefits of a parent-focused preschool child obesity intervention.

Abstract:

OBJECTIVES:This field study tested the feasibility and benefits of a program to promote 6 targeted parental behaviors to prevent obesity in children served by the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC). METHODS:Two WIC sites participated in a nonrandomized, controlled 1-year prospective study to assess parents' self-reported behavior changes. RESULTS:Statistical analyses of preintervention and postintervention assessments of parental behavior demonstrated significant changes in 2 behaviors: frequency of offering the child water and frequency of engaging in active play with the child. In both cases, the intervention proved effective in increasing the desired behavior. CONCLUSIONS:The findings demonstrate the feasibility of changing parental behaviors through multidimensional education in a WIC clinic setting.
