The objective of this paper was to identify the relationships and associations between child and parent characteristics with child fruit and vegetable (FV) consumption in an online obesity prevention program for 8-10 year old African American girls. Girls and a parent (n = 342 child-parent pairs) in the southwestern US completed baseline data collection from 2012 to 2014. Girls and a parent completed self-report questionnaires online. Girls also completed two unannounced 24 hour telephone-based dietary recalls. The relationships of parent demographic characteristics, child FV intake, and psychosocial variables (child and parent) were examined by analysis of variance. Pearson correlation coefficients were calculated to determine the relationships between psychosocial variables and child FV intake. Child FV intake was significantly greater in the highest household education (p = 0.001) and income groups (p = 0.004). FV home availability was higher with older parents (p = 0.007) and two-parent households (p = 0.033). Child FV intake was positively related to child FV preferences (p < 0.001), FV home availability (p = 0.022), and FV home accessibility (p = 0.002) but was negatively related to family barriers to FV consumption (p = 0.000). The study highlighted significant findings between child FV consumption and parent psychosocial variables and demographic characteristics that may offer insights for the design of effective obesity prevention interventions for 8-10 year old African American girls.

本文的目的是在一项针对8至10岁非裔美国女孩的在线肥胖预防计划中，确定儿童和父母特征与儿童水果和蔬菜（FV）摄入量之间的关系及关联。美国西南部的女孩及其父母（n = 342对儿童-父母）于2012年至2014年完成了基线数据收集。女孩及其父母在线完成了自我报告问卷。女孩们还完成了两次未事先通知的基于电话的24小时饮食回顾。通过方差分析检验了父母人口统计学特征、儿童FV摄入量和心理社会变量（儿童和父母）之间的关系。计算皮尔逊相关系数以确定心理社会变量与儿童FV摄入量之间的关系。在家庭教育程度最高（p = 0.001）和收入群体最高（p = 0.004）的家庭中，儿童FV摄入量显著更高。父母年龄较大（p = 0.007）和双亲家庭（p = 0.033）的家庭中FV的可获得性更高。儿童FV摄入量与儿童对FV的偏好（p < 0.001）、家庭中FV的可获得性（p = 0.022）和家庭中FV的易获取性（p = 0.002）呈正相关，但与家庭中FV消费的障碍呈负相关（p = 0.000）。该研究突出了儿童FV消费与父母心理社会变量和人口统计学特征之间的重要发现，这些发现可能为设计针对8至10岁非裔美国女孩的有效肥胖预防干预措施提供见解。ClinicalTrials.gov（NCT01481948）。
