OBJECTIVE
Increasing evidence documents fathers' influential role in their children's eating, physical activity (PA) and sedentary behaviours (SB). We aimed to expand limited existing research examining fathers' influence in these areas by exploring Latino fathers' beliefs, attitudes and practices related to eating, PA and SB of their young children.
DESIGN
Seven focus group discussions were conducted in Spanish with Latino fathers (n 28) of children aged 2-8 years. Audio recordings were transcribed and translated verbatim without identifiers. Data were analysed using thematic analysis to identify key concepts and themes using NVivo 11 software.
RESULTS
Fathers expressed positive beliefs and attitudes about the importance of healthy eating for their young children, themselves and their families. Nevertheless, the majority reported familial practices including eating out, getting take-out, etc. that have been linked to increased obesity risk among Latino children. Fathers were more involved and engaged in children's PA than eating and feeding. However, several fathers reported engaging predominantly in sedentary activities with their children, appeared permissive of children's sedentary habits and struggled to set limits on children's screen-time.
CONCLUSIONS
We provide new information on Latino fathers' beliefs and child feeding and PA practices that may provide important targets for interventions aimed at promoting healthful eating and PA behaviours of Latino children. Future research should further quantify the influence of Latino fathers' parenting styles and practices on development of children's eating, PA and SB. This information is needed to identify risk factors amenable to interventions and to design culturally appropriate parenting and family-based interventions targeting Latino children's home environment and designed to meet this ethnic group's specific needs.
目的
越来越多的证据表明，父亲在孩子的饮食、身体活动（PA）和久坐行为（SB）方面发挥着重要作用。本研究旨在通过探索拉丁裔父亲对其年幼子女饮食、PA 和 SB 的信念、态度和实践，扩展有限的现有研究，以考察父亲在这些领域的影响。
设计
对 2-8 岁儿童的拉丁裔父亲（n=28）进行了 7 次西班牙语焦点小组讨论。音频记录被转录并逐字翻译成没有标识符的文本。使用 NVivo 11 软件对数据进行主题分析，以识别关键概念和主题。
结果
父亲们对健康饮食对其年幼子女、自己和家人的重要性表示了积极的信念和态度。然而，大多数父亲报告了家庭做法，包括外出就餐、点外卖等，这些做法与拉丁裔儿童肥胖风险增加有关。父亲比饮食和喂养更参与和投入到孩子的 PA 中。然而，一些父亲报告说他们主要与孩子进行久坐活动，对孩子的久坐习惯表现出宽容，并努力限制孩子的屏幕时间。
结论
我们提供了关于拉丁裔父亲的信念和儿童喂养及 PA 实践的新信息，这些信息可能为旨在促进拉丁裔儿童健康饮食和 PA 行为的干预措施提供重要目标。未来的研究应该进一步量化拉丁裔父亲的养育方式和实践对儿童饮食、PA 和 SB 发展的影响。这些信息是识别可干预的风险因素以及设计针对拉丁裔儿童家庭环境的、以满足该族裔特定需求为目标的、基于养育和家庭的干预措施所必需的。
