| Description | Journal: Journal of nutrition education and behavior Objective Assess effects of an obesity prevention program promoting eating self-regulation and healthy preferences in Hispanic preschool children. Design Randomized controlled trial with pretest, posttest, 6- and 12-month assessments. Fourteen waves, each lasting 7 weeks. Setting Families recruited from Head Start across 2 sites. Participants Two hundred fifty-five families randomized into prevention (n = 136) or control (n = 119). Intervention Prevention received curriculum; control received no curriculum. Main Outcome Measure(s) Feeding knowledge/practices/styles (parent); body mass index percentile, eating self-regulation, trying new foods, and fruit/vegetable consumption (child). Analysis Multilevel analyses for nested data (time points within families; families within waves) and multinomial regression. Results Program increased mothers' repeated presentation of new foods (P < 0.05), measured portion sizes (P < 0.05), child involvement in food preparation (P < 0.001), feeding responsiveness (P < 0.001), knowledge of best feeding practices (P < 0.001), and feeding efficacy (P < 0.05); reduced feeding misconceptions (P < 0.01) and uninvolved feeding (P < 0.01). Effects on child eating behavior were minimal. At 12 months, children in the prevention group were less likely to have overweight (P < 0.05) or obesity (P < 0.05). Conclusions and Implications Program effects emphasize the importance of feeding approaches in reducing childhood obesity. |
