Nutricity: A mHealth nutrition intervention to improve diet quality among Latino children

项目摘要/摘要：项目1(Gibbs)： 营养素养是指一个人能多好地利用有关健康饮食的信息来做出健康的食物选择。 大多数美国人吃的高卡路里和营养不良的饮食会导致肥胖和慢性病。为了提高 为了美国人的健康，我们必须提高营养素养。美国人需要易于跟踪和访问 健康饮食建议，这样他们就可以选择健康的饮食模式。父母在很多方面影响孩子的饮食 在五岁之前形成的饮食方式和饮食模式贯穿一生。在这项研究中，我们建议参与 拉丁裔父母和他们年幼的孩子(1-5岁)使用我们的文化定制的双语 (英语/西班牙语)移动干预，中立性。我们的目标是改善肥胖和疾病的饮食习惯 预防。 我们的目标有三个： 1.给一小部分父母-孩子配对提供三个月的营养。我们将衡量是否 在研究结束时，孩子们的饮食模式会更好。 2.我们将衡量参与研究的亲子对是否具有相似的特征 没有学习或加入但没有完成的诊所的亲子对；父母是否- 参与这项研究的儿童对是否参与；是否有其他与健康有关的 在研究结束时的改进。 3.我们将衡量儿科诊所是否是研究营养性的好环境。 因此，我们将制作一个移动程序来改善儿童的饮食模式，使用来自 诊所。如果纽崔西蒂在儿科临床环境中是有效和可行的，未来的研究将 在更大范围内评估营养性的实施情况。

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT: PROJECT 1 (GIBBS): Nutrition literacy is how well a person can use information about healthy eating to make healthy food choices. Most Americans eat high calorie and nutrient-poor diets that promote obesity and chronic disease. To improve the health of Americans, we must increase nutrition literacy. Americans need easy to follow and easy to access healthy eating advice so they can choose healthy eating patterns. Parents affect their child's diet in many ways, and diet patterns formed before age five years track throughout life. In this study, we propose to engage Latino parents and their young children (1-5 years of age) using our culturally tailored, bilingual (English/Spanish) mobile intervention, Nutricity. Our goals are to improve eating habits for obesity and disease prevention. Our aims are three-fold: 1. Give a small sample of parent-child pairs access to Nutricity for three months. We will measure whether children have better eating patterns at the end of the study. 2. We will measure whether the parent-child pairs who joined the study have similar characteristics with parent-child pairs of the clinic who were not studied or who joined but did not finish; whether parent- child pairs who joined the study were engaged; and whether there were other health-related improvements at the end of the study. 3. We will measure if the pediatric clinic is a good setting to study Nutricity. As a result, we will produce a mobile program to improve child eating patterns, using few resources from clinics. If Nutricity is effective and feasible to deliver within the pediatric clinic setting, future research will evaluate the implementation of Nutricity on a larger scale.
