OBJECTIVE
This study aimed to identify socioeconomic correlates of computer/Internet use among parents of overweight preschool-aged children.
METHODS
A total of 470 baseline participants in a trial to prevent obesity in children 2 to 6.9 years old with body mass index ≥ 95th percentile or 85th to 95th percentile with one overweight parent were studied. Interviews with parents used Health Information National Trends Survey questions.
RESULTS/CONCLUSIONS: Overall, 94% of the participants had home computers and 93% reported Internet usage. In adjusted models, parents with ≤ college degree (odds ratio = 4.8; 95% confidence interval = 1.2-18.3) or with household income ≤$50,000 (odds ratio = 7.6; 95% confidence interval = 2.2-26.8) had decreased likelihood of computer ownership. Of parents who reported going online, 63% used Internet to look for health/medical information for themselves and 42% for their children. Parents with ≤ a college degree or with body mass index <25 kg/m(2) were less likely to use Internet. Results support using the Internet for early childhood obesity prevention with enhanced outreach efforts for low socioeconomic status families.
目的
本研究旨在确定超重学龄前儿童父母使用计算机/互联网的社会经济相关因素。
方法
对一项预防2至6.9岁儿童肥胖症试验中的470名基线参与者进行了研究，这些儿童的体重指数≥第95百分位数，或体重指数处于第85至95百分位数且父母一方超重。对父母的访谈采用了《健康信息国家趋势调查》的问题。
结果/结论：总体而言，94%的参与者家中有电脑，93%的人报告使用互联网。在调整模型中，学历≤大学学历（比值比=4.8；95%置信区间=1.2 - 18.3）或家庭收入≤50,000美元（比值比=7.6；95%置信区间=2.2 - 26.8）的父母拥有电脑的可能性降低。在报告上网的父母中，63%的人使用互联网为自己查找健康/医疗信息，42%的人为孩子查找。学历≤大学学历或体重指数<25 kg/m²的父母使用互联网的可能性较小。研究结果支持利用互联网预防幼儿肥胖症，并加大对社会经济地位较低家庭的宣传力度。
