DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Physical activity is a key component of energy balance and its promotion therefore an essential component in the prevention of child overweight. Few studies have examined multiple contextual influences on physical activity and sedentary behaviors of Latino-children 3-5 yr, who have the highest prevalence of at risk and overweight among low income US preschoolers. Research suggests interventions addressing childhood obesity that will be effective for among Latino families and their preschool children require cultural tailoring and a robust parent component. The proposed study will use qualitative methods to explore parental, family and home environment, and social-cultural influences on children's physical activity and sedentary behaviors; and identify barriers and facilitators to providing opportunities for physical activity from the perspectives of parents and WIC Program staff serving Latino populations in Rhode Island. Quantitative data on physical activity of parents and preschool children assessed by accelerometry and parental report will complement qualitative themes used to design an educational intervention to be administered by WIC. Four sequential phases include: Phase I: A: focus group discussions with parents of preschool-aged children enrolled in the WIC program in the state of Rhode Island, and B: In-depth interviews with WIC staff; Phase II: measurement of objective and reported physical activity of n=30 parents and their preschool-aged children; Phase III: development of an educational intervention that addresses: (a) parental, (b) family/home environment, and (c) socio-cultural influences on physical activity and sedentary behaviors of low income, Latino preschool children; Phase IV: qualitative evaluation and refinement of materials and protocols, resulting in a fully developed educational intervention suitable for formal testing through a subsequent RO1 application. The proposed research will add to current knowledge not only through a focus on low-income, Latino preschool children and their families, but also demonstrating the potential role organizations such as the WIC Program can play in building parenting capacity and skills through educational interventions to promote increased physical activity and decreased sedentary behaviors of this population at high risk of overweight. Public Health Relevance: The proposed research will explore parental, family and home environment, and social-cultural influences and identify barriers and facilitators to improving physical activity and sedentary behaviors of low-income, Latino, preschool children. Qualitative research findings from focus groups with parents and in-depth interviews with staff of the Special Supplemental Food Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC) and quantitative data on physical activity of parents and children assess by accelerometry and parental report will be used to develop an educational intervention for this target population at high risk of overweight. Materials, scripts and protocols for individual, group and phone counseling to be delivered by WIC staff will be culturally tailored to promote early healthy physical activity behaviors in this organizational setting.

描述（由申请人提供）：身体活动是能量平衡的关键组成部分，因此促进身体活动是预防儿童超重的重要组成部分。很少有研究探讨了多种背景的影响，体力活动和久坐行为的拉丁美洲儿童3-5岁，谁有最高的患病率在风险和超重的低收入美国学龄前儿童。研究表明，解决儿童肥胖问题的干预措施对拉丁美洲家庭及其学龄前儿童有效，需要文化剪裁和强大的父母组成部分。拟议的研究将采用定性的方法来探讨父母，家庭和家庭环境，以及社会文化对儿童的体育活动和久坐行为的影响;并确定障碍和促进因素，以提供体育活动的机会，从父母和WIC计划的工作人员的角度为拉丁裔人口在罗得岛。通过加速度计和家长报告评估的家长和学龄前儿童身体活动的定量数据将补充用于设计WIC管理的教育干预的定性主题。四个连续阶段包括：第一阶段：答：与罗得岛州参加WIC项目的学龄前儿童的父母进行焦点小组讨论，以及B：与WIC工作人员进行深入访谈;第二阶段：测量n=30名父母及其学龄前儿童的客观和报告的身体活动;第三阶段：制定教育干预措施，解决：（a）父母，（B）家庭/家庭环境，和（c）社会文化对低收入拉丁裔学龄前儿童身体活动和久坐行为的影响;第四阶段：材料和方案的定性评价和改进，从而产生适合于通过随后的RO 1应用进行正式测试的充分发展的教育干预。拟议的研究将增加现有的知识，不仅通过关注低收入，拉丁美洲学龄前儿童及其家庭，而且还展示了WIC计划等组织在通过教育干预促进增加身体活动和减少久坐不动行为方面可以发挥的潜在作用。公共卫生相关性：拟议的研究将探讨父母，家庭和家庭环境，以及社会文化影响，并确定障碍和促进因素，以改善低收入，拉丁美洲，学龄前儿童的体育活动和久坐行为。定性研究结果的焦点小组与父母和深入访谈的工作人员的特别补充食品计划的妇女，婴儿和儿童（WIC）和定量数据的身体活动的父母和儿童的评估加速度和父母的报告将被用来制定一个教育干预的高风险超重的目标人群。WIC工作人员提供的个人、团体和电话咨询的材料、脚本和协议将根据文化定制，以促进该组织环境中的早期健康体育活动行为。
