项目摘要

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）：体育活动是能量平衡及其促进的关键组成部分，因此是预防儿童超重的重要组成部分。很少有研究检查了对拉丁裔儿童的体育锻炼和久坐行为的多种影响，他们在低收入的美国学龄前儿童中的风险和超重患病率最高。研究表明，针对童年肥胖症的干预措施对拉丁裔家庭及其学龄前儿童需要有效，需要文化剪裁和坚固的父母组成部分。拟议的研究将使用定性方法来探索父母，家庭和家庭环境，以及对儿童体育锻炼和久坐行为的社会文化影响；并确定障碍和促进者从父母和WIC计划工作人员的角度为在罗德岛州提供拉丁裔人口的工作人员提供机会。通过加速度计和父母报告评估的父母和学龄前儿童的身体活动的定量数据将补充用于设计由WIC管理的教育干预措施的定性主题。四个顺序阶段包括：第一阶段：A：与在罗德岛州WIC计划中招收的学龄前儿童的父母进行焦点小组讨论，B：与WIC员工进行了深入的访谈；第二阶段：测量n = 30个父母及其学龄前儿童的物理活动和报告的体育活动；第三阶段：开发一种解决的教育干预措施：（a）父母，（b）家庭/家庭环境以及（c）社会文化对体育活动和低收入久坐行为的影响，拉丁裔学龄前儿童；第四阶段：材料和协议的定性评估和完善，从而通过随后的RO1应用进行了完全开发的教育干预措施。拟议的研究将不仅通过关注低收入，拉丁裔学龄前儿童及其家人来增加当前的知识，而且还可以通过教育干预措施来促进体育活动，减少该人群的久坐不良行为，从而在建立育儿能力和技能方面发挥潜在的作用组织，以促进育儿能力和技能。公共卫生相关性：拟议的研究将探索父母，家庭和家庭环境，以及社会文化的影响，并确定改善低收入，拉丁裔，学龄前儿童的体育锻炼和久坐行为的障碍和促进者。与父母的焦点小组的定性研究结果以及对女性，婴儿和儿童特别补充食品计划（WIC）的工作人员的深入访谈以及对父母和儿童的体育锻炼的定量数据将用于加速计量和父母报告评估，以开发该目标人群高风险超重的目标人群的教育干预措施。 WIC员工提供的个人，小组和电话咨询的材料，脚本和协议将是在本组织环境中促进早期健康体育锻炼行为的文化量身定制的。
