BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Setting healthful beverage expectations, making calcium-rich foods and beverages (CRF/B) available, and role modeling are parenting practices promoting calcium intake among early adolescents. This study aimed to evaluate emotion-based messages designed to motivate parents of early adolescents to perform these practices.
SUBJECTS/METHODS: Emotion-based messages were developed for each parenting practice and tested in 35 parents from 5 states. Findings were used to modify messages and develop a survey administered via Amazon MechanicalTurk to a convenience sample of Asian (n = 166) and Hispanic (n = 184) parents of children 10-13 years. Main outcome measures were message comprehension, motivation, relevance, acceptability, and novelty. Engagement in the parenting practices was also assessed.
Message comprehension was acceptable for the majority of parents. Most also agreed that messages were motivational (setting healthful beverage expectations (69.0%), making CRF/B available (67.4%), and role modeling (80.0%)), relevant and acceptable. About 30-50% indicated they had not seen the information before. Many parents indicated they were already engaging in the practices (> 70%). No racial/ethnic differences were observed for responses to messages or engaging in parenting practices.
Results indicate that emotion-based messages designed to motivate parents to engage in parenting practices that promote calcium intake among early adolescents were motivating, relevant, and acceptable.
背景/目的：设定健康的饮料期望、提供富含钙的食物和饮料（CRF/B）以及树立榜样是促进青少年早期钙摄入的育儿方式。本研究旨在评估旨在激励青少年早期父母采取这些行为的基于情感的信息。
受试者/方法：针对每种育儿方式制定了基于情感的信息，并在来自5个州的35名父母中进行了测试。研究结果用于修改信息，并通过亚马逊土耳其机器人平台对10至13岁儿童的亚洲（n = 166）和西班牙裔（n = 184）父母的便利样本进行了一项调查。主要结局指标包括信息理解、动机、相关性、可接受性和新颖性。还评估了育儿方式的参与情况。
大多数父母对信息的理解是可以接受的。大多数人也同意这些信息具有激励作用（设定健康的饮料期望（69.0%）、提供CRF/B（67.4%）和树立榜样（80.0%））、相关且可接受。约30%-50%的人表示他们以前没有见过这些信息。许多父母表示他们已经在采取这些行为（>70%）。在对信息的反应或采取育儿方式方面未观察到种族/民族差异。
结果表明，旨在激励父母采取促进青少年早期钙摄入的育儿方式的基于情感的信息具有激励作用、相关性和可接受性。
