To understand diet, physical activity, and inactivity influences among preadolescent African American girls at risk of becoming obese.
Interviews and group qualitative discussions (i.e., mixed qualitative research method) were conducted separately with 8- to 10-year-old African American girls and their parents.
Greater Houston, Texas.
Eight- to 10-year-old African American girls above the 50th percentile body mass index with a home computer (n = 82) and a parent (n = 74).
Influences on dietary practices and physical activity/inactivity among preadolescent African American girls.
Discussions were audiotaped, manually recorded, transcribed, and coded. The primary coder analyzed the transcribed notes. The secondary coder reviewed and critiqued the initial coding.
Parents and girls were concerned about overweight and viewed physical activity as a weight control practice. Mothers facilitated daughters' physical activity, while fathers and siblings were coparticipants. Girls had access to physical activity equipment and facilities. Snack food items and carbonated beverages were often limited by the parents, and water consumption was encouraged. Discrepancies were apparent between girls' and parents' responses.
Parental convenience and girls' food preferences influenced dietary intake. Obesity prevention programs should capitalize on parental motivation for their child's health and provide practical strategies to facilitate healthful eating and physical activity.
了解有肥胖风险的青春期前非裔美国女孩的饮食、身体活动及缺乏身体活动的影响因素。
分别对8至10岁的非裔美国女孩及其父母进行访谈和小组定性讨论（即混合定性研究方法）。
得克萨斯州大休斯顿地区。
体重指数高于第50百分位数且家中有电脑的8至10岁非裔美国女孩（n = 82）及其父母（n = 74）。
青春期前非裔美国女孩饮食行为及身体活动/缺乏身体活动的影响因素。
讨论内容进行录音、手工记录、转录和编码。主编码员分析转录笔记。副编码员审查并评判初始编码。
父母和女孩都关注超重问题，并将身体活动视为控制体重的方法。母亲促进女儿进行身体活动，而父亲和兄弟姐妹则共同参与。女孩能够使用体育活动设备和设施。父母通常会限制零食和碳酸饮料的摄入，并鼓励多喝水。女孩和父母的回答存在明显差异。
父母的便利因素和女孩的食物偏好影响饮食摄入。肥胖预防项目应利用父母对孩子健康的积极性，并提供促进健康饮食和身体活动的实用策略。
