There is value in having parents choose which behaviors to address in obesity interventions, but it is unknown whether they choose behaviors that will effectively impact healthy growth. This study assessed whether child behaviors or parent intention to change behaviors were associated with behaviors parents chose to discuss.
Parent intention to change specific behaviors and time spent discussing behaviors was coded during intervention sessions.
Child activity, screen-time, energy intake, breakfast, and family meals were associated with time spent discussing these behaviors. Fewer associations were seen between parent intention and time spent discussing these behaviors.
Results suggest that in interventions allow choice, parents may choose to discuss the weight-related behaviors their children need to address.
让父母选择在肥胖干预中要解决哪些行为是有价值的,但尚不清楚他们所选择的行为是否会对健康成长产生有效影响。本研究评估了儿童行为或父母改变行为的意图是否与父母选择讨论的行为相关。
在干预过程中对父母改变特定行为的意图以及讨论行为所花费的时间进行编码。
儿童的活动、屏幕使用时间、能量摄入、早餐和家庭用餐与讨论这些行为所花费的时间相关。而父母的意图与讨论这些行为所花费的时间之间的关联较少。
结果表明,在允许选择的干预措施中,父母可能会选择讨论他们孩子需要解决的与体重相关的行为。
