The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of a family-based intervention program (REDUCE) on children's eating behaviors and dietary intake. A two-arm randomized controlled field trial was conducted among parents and children of 7 to 10 years old who were either overweight or obese. The intervention was conducted via face-to-face sessions and social media. The child eating behaviors were assessed using the child eating behaviors questionnaire (CEBQ), while their dietary consumption of vegetables and unhealthy snacks was assessed using a parental report of three days unweighted food. The generalized linear mixed modelling adjusted for covariates was used to estimate the intervention effects with alpha of 0.05. A total of 122 parents (91% response rate) completed this study. At the six-month post-training, there were statistically significant mean differences in the enjoyment of food (F(6481) = 4.653, < 0.001), fruit and vegetable intake (F(6480) = 4.165, < 0.001) and unhealthy snack intake (F(6480) = 5.062, < 0.001) between the intervention and wait-list groups; however, it was not clinically meaningful. This study added to the body of knowledge of family-based intervention that utilized social media and assessed the effect in children's eating behavior using the CEBQ and children's dietary intake.
本研究旨在评估基于家庭的干预计划（REDUCE）对儿童饮食行为和饮食摄入的影响。一项针对 7 至 10 岁超重或肥胖儿童及其家长的双臂随机对照现场试验。干预通过面对面的会议和社交媒体进行。通过儿童饮食行为问卷（CEBQ）评估儿童的饮食行为，通过父母报告三天未加权食物来评估蔬菜和不健康零食的饮食摄入量。广义线性混合模型调整协变量以估计干预效果，α 值为 0.05。共有 122 名家长（91%的回复率）完成了这项研究。在培训后的六个月，干预组和等待名单组在享受食物（F(6481) = 4.653，<0.001）、水果和蔬菜摄入量（F(6480) = 4.165，<0.001）和不健康零食摄入量（F(6480) = 5.062，<0.001）方面存在统计学显著的均值差异；然而，这并不具有临床意义。这项研究增加了利用社交媒体并使用 CEBQ 评估儿童饮食行为和儿童饮食摄入量的基于家庭的干预的知识体系。
