Obesity prevalence is greater in African American girls than their non-Hispanic white peers. Obesity prevention programs are needed to help parents create an obesity-preventive home environment. This paper reports the feasibility and acceptability of a mHealth child obesity prevention program consisting of self-determination theory-grounded text messages promoting a healthy home food and activity environment to parents of 8⁻10-year-old African American girls. A one-group design with baseline and immediate post-intervention assessments was utilized. Mothers ( = 19) received 36 text messages over 12 weeks. Feasibility and acceptability were assessed through staff logs and post-intervention surveys and an interview. Feasibility and acceptability criteria were met. Mothers reported positive reactions to the intervention; they liked the program, used the information, and all but one gave it an A or B grade. The majority made changes and shared the text messages with others. This research provides evidence that a theoretically grounded mHealth child obesity prevention intervention is feasible and acceptable to parents of African American girls.
非裔美国女孩的肥胖患病率高于非西班牙裔白人同龄人。需要开展肥胖预防项目,以帮助家长营造预防肥胖的家庭环境。本文报告了一个移动健康儿童肥胖预防项目的可行性和可接受性,该项目由基于自我决定理论的短信组成,向8至10岁非裔美国女孩的家长宣传健康的家庭饮食和活动环境。采用了具有基线和干预后即时评估的单组设计。母亲们(n = 19)在12周内收到了36条短信。通过工作人员日志、干预后调查和访谈对可行性和可接受性进行了评估。达到了可行性和可接受性标准。母亲们对干预措施反应积极;她们喜欢这个项目,使用了这些信息,除一人外,其他人都给了该项目A或B的评分。大多数人做出了改变,并与他人分享了短信。这项研究提供了证据,表明一个基于理论的移动健康儿童肥胖预防干预措施对非裔美国女孩的家长来说是可行的且可接受的。
