This article provides a perspective about recruiting, engaging, and retaining fathers in research and programming related to nutrition education and childhood obesity prevention. Recent research emphasizes the importance of fathers in childhood obesity prevention, and although father-friendly approaches can emulate other underserved populations, some researchers have acknowledged that differences may exist. Family sciences- related and nutritional sciences-related literature is summarized to provide guidance for nutrition and obesity scholars. Best practices may vary by the type of study and father characteristics; and the venues, content, structure, timing, and approach of research and interventions may need to be tailored for fathers.
本文提供了一个视角,探讨如何招募、吸引和留住父亲参与与营养教育和儿童肥胖预防相关的研究和项目。最近的研究强调了父亲在儿童肥胖预防中的重要性,尽管对父亲友好的方法可以效仿其他服务不足的人群,但一些研究人员已经认识到可能存在差异。本文总结了与家庭科学和营养科学相关的文献,为营养和肥胖学者提供指导。最佳实践可能因研究类型和父亲特征而异;研究和干预的场所、内容、结构、时间安排和方法可能需要针对父亲进行调整。
