背景：国家儿童测量计划的建立是为了测量英国小学儿童的身高和体重，并向家长提供有关其孩子体重状况的反馈。在这项研究中，我们将评估国家儿童测量计划反馈对父母超重风险认知、生活方式行为和健康服务使用的影响。方法：该研究将是一项前瞻性队列研究，研究对象为参加国家儿童测量计划的儿童的父母和来自5个初级保健信托机构（负责提供初级和二级保健服务的行政机构）的主要服务提供者。我们将进行基线问卷调查，随后提供体重反馈，并在一年的时间内进行3次跟踪调查。调查问卷将衡量父母对超重、健康行为和卫生服务使用的风险认知的变化。定性访谈将用于识别障碍和促进变革。这项研究将产生与体重反馈相关的国民健康服务费用的初步数据，并确定哪种反馈方法（信件和信件加电话）更有效。讨论：本研究将首次对国家儿童测量计划反馈进行大规模评估。这次评价的结果将为国家儿童测量方案的未来规划提供信息。
Background: The National Child Measurement Programme was established to measure the height and weight of children at primary school in England and provides parents with feedback about their child's weight status. In this study we will evaluate the impact of the National Child Measurement Programme feedback on parental risk perceptions of overweight, lifestyle behaviour and health service use.Methods: The study will be a prospective cohort study of parents of children enrolled in the National Child Measurement Programme and key service providers from 5 primary care trusts (administrative bodies responsible for providing primary and secondary care services). We will conduct baseline questionnaires, followed by provision of weight feedback and 3 follow up questionnaires over the course of a year. Questionnaires will measure change in parental risk perception of overweight, health behaviours and health service use. Qualitative interviews will be used to identify barriers and facilitators to change. This study will produce preliminary data on National Health Service costs associated with weight feedback and determine which feedback approach (letter and letter plus telephone) is more effective.Discussion: This study will provide the first large scale evaluation of the National Child Measurement Programme feedback. Findings from this evaluation will inform future planning of the National Child Measurement Programme.
