Parents' Multimedia Guide to Child Nutrition and Health

描述（由研究者提供）：美国五大死亡原因与饮食和运动有关。有证据表明，终身饮食模式通常是在早期建立的，最近的研究表明，儿童饮食与后来的癌症之间存在正相关。然而，儿童的饮食往往达不到建议的最低要求，许多儿童没有参加足够的体育活动。父母可以对孩子的饮食和运动习惯产生重大影响。不幸的是，许多父母缺乏意识、动机和/或技能，以确保他们的孩子养成健康的饮食和锻炼习惯。 该项目的目标是为父母开发和测试一个多媒体节目，旨在促进健康的儿童饮食和锻炼习惯，减少儿童患癌症和其他慢性病的风险。在第一阶段，该计划的初步结构和内容将与家长一起开发和测试。伊萨将与营养和儿童健康领域的专家合作，制定方案内容，并审查最终原型的内容和结构。最后，伊萨将与工作场所，社区健康中心和医生进行面谈，以确定该计划的商业机会。在第二阶段，该方案的有效性将与家长进行严格的实地测试。

DESCRIPTION (provided by investigator): Five of the leading causes of death in the U.S. can be linked to diet and exercise. Evidence indicates that lifelong dietary patterns are typically established early and recent studies show positive associations between childhood diet and later cancers. However, children's diets often do not meet the minimum recommended requirements and many children do not engage in sufficient physical activity. Parents can have a major impact on their children's eating and exercise practices. Unfortunately, many parents lack the awareness, motivation and/or skills to ensure that their children are practicing healthful eating and exercise habits. The objective of this project is to develop and test a multimedia program for parents designed to promote healthful child dietary and exercise practices and reduce children's risk of cancer and other chronic diseases. In Phase I, the preliminary structure and content of the program will be developed and tested with parents. ISA will work with experts in the field of nutrition and child health to develop the program content and review the final prototype contents and structure. Finally, ISA will conduct interviews with workplaces, community wellness centers, and physicians to determine the program's commercial opportunities. In Phase II, the effectiveness of the program will be rigorously field tested with parents.
