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.

项目总结/摘要 众所周知，父母有机会显著影响他们孩子的体重状况;然而， 文献中存在的局限性，探讨使用和影响的食物有关的育儿做法对儿童 体重状况具体来说，大量的研究探讨了与食物有关的育儿实践对儿童的影响。 与体重有关的结果：集中在高度控制的育儿实践-未能考虑到 更广泛的食物养育的影响;依赖于与食物有关的养育的回顾性措施 做法;并侧重于父母的“通常”使用特定的食物相关的育儿做法-没有考虑到 在较短的时间范围内（一天之内或一天之间）或在不同的环境中， 最后，影响使用特定的食物相关的育儿做法的瞬时机制仍然存在 不清楚生态瞬时评价（EMA）是一种新的方法，利用手持设备捕获 在自然环境中展开的行为信息，以捕捉动态 行为随时间和环境的变化。使用EMA可以提供一个阐明 瞬时变量之间的时间关系（例如，压力、儿童行为）和使用与食物有关的 为人父母的做法。拟议的混合方法研究将利用深入访谈，以确定一个广泛的 与食物有关的育儿做法的范围和影响它们的瞬时因素。家长的反应将 然后通知EMA协议中使用的措施的开发和调整。最后，EMA 一项研究（n=50）将探讨与食物相关的父母行为中父母内部和父母之间的波动，并将 确定对父母使用与食物有关的育儿做法的瞬时影响。获得的知识和数据 从拟议的研究中收集的数据将为未来的R-01应用奠定基础，重点是利用 EMA嵌入纵向研究，以全面了解 与食物有关的父母行为对儿童体重相关结果的影响。这项研究也符合 申请人职业发展目标的更广泛背景。本次为期4年的培训的总体目标是 该计划旨在将候选人确立为专注于儿童肥胖预防的独立调查员。 具体的培训活动包括：获得数据收集、管理和数据解释方面的经验 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 通过教育管理局收集;以及改进内容领域的知识，儿童发展和父母-子女的作用 在饮食行为发展中的相互作用。建议的培训目标和研究 活动将使候选人，1）建立在她以前的培训和研究，迄今为止，重点是 关于利用传统调查方法探讨父母在青少年体重相关结果中的作用， 以及2）扩展她的专业知识，包括新颖的EMA数据收集方法和相关的分析技能， 以及关注儿童肥胖症的发展。
