PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT It is known that parents have the opportunity to significantly influence their children's weight status; however, limitations exist within the literature exploring the use and impact of food-related parenting practices on child weight status. Specifically, the bulk of research exploring the impact of food-related parenting practices on weight-related outcomes has: focused on highly controlling parenting practices - failing to account for the impact of a much broader scope of food parenting; relied on retrospective measures of food-related parenting practices; and focused on parent's “usual” use of specific food-related parenting practices – failing to account for potentially important differences across shorter time frames (within- or between- day) or across contexts. Finally, momentary mechanisms that influence the use of particular food-related parenting practices remain unclear. Ecological momentary assessment (EMA) is a novel method that utilizes hand-held devices to capture information on behaviors as they unfold in their natural environment, moment-by-moment, to capture dynamic changes in behavior over time and across contexts. Use of EMA could provide an opportunity to elucidate temporal relationships between momentary variables (e.g., stress, child behavior) and use of food-related parenting practices. The proposed mixed-methods study will utilize in-depth interviews to identify a broad scope of food-related parenting practices and the momentary factors that influence them. Parent responses will then inform the development - and adaptation of measures for use within an EMA protocol. Finally, an EMA study (n=50) will explore within- and between-parent fluctuations in food-related parenting practices and will identify momentary influences on parents' use of food-related parenting practices. Knowledge gained and data collected from the proposed research will lay the foundation for a future R-01 application focused on leveraging EMA embedded within a longitudinal study to gain a comprehensive understanding of the use and impact of food-related parenting practices on weight-related outcomes in children. This proposed research also fits within the broader context of the applicant's career development goals. The overarching goal of this 4-year training program is to establish the candidate as an independent investigator focused on pediatric obesity prevention. Specific training activities include: gaining experience in data collection, management and interpretation of data collected via EMA; developing the multi-level modeling statistical analysis skills necessary to analyze data collected via EMA; and improving content area knowledge child development and the role of parent-child interactions in the development of eating behaviors. Together, the proposed training aims and research activities will allow the candidate to, 1) build on her previous training and research which, to date, has focused on utilizing traditional survey methods to explore the role of parents in adolescent weight-related outcomes, and 2) expand her expertise to include novel EMA data collection methods and associated analytical skills, and a focus on understanding the development of obesity in young children.

项目摘要/摘要 众所周知，父母有机会显着影响孩子的体重状况。然而， 文献中存在局限性，探讨了与食物相关的育儿实践对儿童的使用和影响 体重状态。具体而言，大多数研究探讨了与食物相关的育儿实践对 与体重有关的结果具有：专注于高度控制育儿惯例 - 未能说明 食物育儿范围更广泛的影响；依靠食物相关育儿的回顾性措施 实践；并专注于父母对特定食物相关的育儿惯例的“通常”使用 - 未能说明 对于较短的时间范围（一天之内）或环境之间的潜在重要差异。 最后，影响特定食物相关育儿习惯使用的瞬时机制仍然存在 不清楚。生态瞬时评估（EMA）是一种使用手持设备捕获的新方法 关于行为在自然环境中展开的行为的信息，逐时捕捉动态 行为随着时间和跨环境的变化。使用EMA可以提供机会阐明 瞬时变量（例如压力，儿童行为）与食物相关的使用之间的临时关系 育儿实践。拟议的混合方法研究将利用深入的访谈来确定广泛的 与食物相关的育儿实践的范围以及影响他们的瞬间因素。父母的回答会 然后告知开发 - 适应在EMA协议中使用的措施。最后，EMA 研究（n = 50）将探索与食物相关的育儿习惯中的内部和伴生的波动，并将 确定对父母对食物相关的育儿做法的使用的暂时影响。获得的知识和数据 从拟议的研究中收集的将为未来的R-01申请奠定基础 EMA嵌入了一项纵向研究中，以全面了解 关于儿童体重有关的与食物有关的育儿习惯。这项拟议的研究也适合 申请人职业发展目标的更广泛背景。这项为期4年培训的总体目标 计划是将候选人建立为专注于小儿肥胖预防的独立研究者。 特定的培训活动包括：获得数据收集，管理和解释的经验 通过EMA收集；开发分析数据所需的多层次建模统计分析技能 通过EMA收集；并改善内容领域知识儿童发展和亲子的作用 饮食行为发展中的相互作用。拟议的培训目的和研究在一起 活动将使候选人能够：1）以她以前的培训和研究为基础，迄今为止一直集中在 利用传统的调查方法来探索父母在青少年体重相关的结果中的作用， 2）将她的专业知识扩展到包括新颖的EMA数据收集方法和相关的分析技能， 并专注于了解幼儿肥胖的发展。
