To assess whether participation in a culturally tailored nutrition education program increases diet quality of Hispanic mothers.
A randomized controlled trial.
Community centers and universities.
Sixty-five mothers (35 in experimental group, 30 in control group) completed pre- and postworkshop surveys. Eligibility criteria included being of Mexican or Puerto Rican descent and having a child between the ages of 6 and 18 years who could participate in the workshops with the parent.
Families in the experimental group participated in a 6-week workshop series that included weekly nutrition education classes.
Diet quality was assessed by the Rate Your Plate questionnaire.
Repeated measures ANOVA was used to compare differences between the experimental and control groups. A Wilcoxon signed rank test was conducted to test for significant shifts in categorization pre- and postprogram.
There was a significant change in diet quality categorization after participating in the workshops (P < .001, effect size 0.39). No changes were found in the control group.
Abriendo Caminos was effective at increasing the diet quality of Hispanic mothers who participated the most in the program. More research is needed in this at-risk population to determine the relationships among nutrition knowledge, diet quality, and achievement of healthy weight.
评估参与文化适应的营养教育计划是否能提高西班牙裔母亲的饮食质量。
随机对照试验。
社区中心和大学。
65 位母亲（实验组 35 位，对照组 30 位）完成了预试验和试验后调查。入选标准包括墨西哥裔或波多黎各裔，以及有一个 6 至 18 岁的孩子，可以与家长一起参加研讨会。
实验组的家庭参加了一个为期 6 周的研讨会系列，包括每周的营养教育课程。
饮食质量通过“评价你的盘子”问卷进行评估。
采用重复测量方差分析比较实验组和对照组之间的差异。采用 Wilcoxon 符号秩检验检验计划前后分类的显著变化。
参加研讨会后饮食质量分类有显著变化（P<0.001，效应量 0.39）。对照组没有变化。
Abriendo Caminos 计划对参加项目最多的西班牙裔母亲的饮食质量有显著提高。在这个高风险人群中，需要更多的研究来确定营养知识、饮食质量和实现健康体重之间的关系。
