To examine factors related to attendance of Mexican-heritage parents at community-based nutrition classes to prevent childhood obesity.
Starting in 2011, interviewers collected baseline data from Niños Sanos Familia Sana (Healthy Children, Healthy Families) participants in rural California. Educators maintained attendance logs from 2012 to 2014. Informed by the Theory of Planned Behavior, interviewers administered an exit survey in 2015 to collect data on attitudes, subjective norms, health motivations, and perceived control related to attendance. Multivariable ordinal logistic regression analysis examined the correlates of attendance (n = 194, intervention group only).
Controlling for mother's age, marital status, acculturation, and employment, attitudes and subjective norms were significantly related to attendance (odds ratio = 1.27; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.18-1.37; P < .001).
In these Mexican-heritage participants, attitudes and subjective norms were significant correlates of attendance. The Theory of Planned Behavior may shed light on attendance of high-risk groups but further testing of instruments is needed.
探讨与墨西哥裔家长参加社区营养课程以预防儿童肥胖相关的因素。
从 2011 年开始，访谈者从加利福尼亚州农村的 Niños Sanos Familia Sana（健康儿童，健康家庭）参与者那里收集基线数据。教育工作者从 2012 年到 2014 年保留出勤记录。根据计划行为理论，访谈者在 2015 年进行了一项退出调查，以收集与出勤率相关的态度、主观规范、健康动机和感知控制方面的数据。多变量有序逻辑回归分析考察了出勤率的相关性（n=194，仅干预组）。
控制母亲的年龄、婚姻状况、文化适应和就业状况后，态度和主观规范与出勤率显著相关（优势比=1.27；95%置信区间[CI]，1.18-1.37；P<.001）。
在这些墨西哥裔参与者中，态度和主观规范是出勤率的重要相关因素。计划行为理论可以揭示高危人群的出勤率，但需要进一步测试这些工具。
