超重和肥胖仍然是美国青年，特别是少数种族/族裔群体面临的重大公共健康风险。预防和控制肥胖的工作针对的是不同背景下的青少年和家庭成员。虽然让父母参与青少年肥胖预防项目可能会提高这些项目的潜力，但人们对父母更喜欢的参与方式知之甚少，特别是在少数种族/民族父母和主要语言不是英语的父母中。在这项定性研究中，研究人员询问了中学生的父母如何最好地让他们的孩子参与到预防和控制肥胖的工作中来。我们招募了38位家长，他们的孩子在洛杉矶的中学上学。从2010年到2011年，两个英语焦点小组有14名不同种族/民族背景的父母，两个西班牙语小组有24名拉丁裔父母。我们使用归纳和演绎技术对焦点小组文本进行内容分析。焦点小组的调查结果证实，父母希望帮助他们的孩子避免肥胖，但在采取行动的能力方面感到受限。参与者认为，成为更好的父母的总体愿望是参与预防肥胖工作的潜在动机。家长们提倡在肥胖预防项目中采用以家庭为中心的方法，包括家庭体育联盟和烹饪班。大多数发现在不同语言群体之间是一致的，但西班牙语群体的父母提到了与语言相关的障碍。开发和测试可持续的、以社区为基础的、以家庭为中心的简单项目，可能会使家庭能够解决肥胖的预防和控制问题。
Overweight and obesity remain significant public health risks for youth in the United States, particularly among racial/ethnic minority groups. Efforts at obesity prevention and control have targeted youth and family members in diverse settings. Although involving parents in obesity prevention programs for youth may improve the potential of these programs, less is known about parents’ preferred methods of engagement, especially among racial/ethnic minority parents and parents whose primary language is not English. In this qualitative study, parents of middle-school–aged children were asked how best to engage their children in obesity prevention and control efforts. We recruited 38 parents whose children attended Los Angeles middle schools to participate in focus groups. Two English-language focus groups with 14 parents of different racial/ethnic backgrounds and 2 Spanish language groups with 24 Latino parents were conducted from 2010 through 2011. We analyzed focus group transcripts by using content analysis using inductive and deductive techniques. Findings from focus groups confirmed that parents want to help their children avoid obesity but feel constrained in their ability to take action. Participants identified an overarching desire to become better parents as a potential incentive to engage in obesity prevention efforts. Parents advocated for family-focused approaches in obesity prevention programs, including family sports leagues and cooking classes. Most findings were consistent between language groups, but parents in the Spanish language groups cited language-related barriers. The development and testing of simple programs that are sustainable, community-based, and family-focused may empower families to address obesity prevention and control.
