Food routines are an ecocultural asset of Latino families. This cluster-randomized trial with 248 children (M = 67 months; 50% girls; 13 schools) investigated the impact of a 4-week family program designed to capitalize on food routines in improving Latino kindergarteners' outcomes in the United States. There were moderate-to-large impacts on child vocabulary (especially food-related) at end-of-treatment and the 5-month follow-up, and suggestive evidence of moderate impacts on approaches to learning (ATL; including ATL math) and executive function at the 5-month follow-up (d = .38-.95). There were no statistically significant impacts on children's math or literacy skills. A strengths-based, culturally responsive family intervention that is integrated into Latino family life can improve the skills needed to succeed in school.
饮食规律是拉丁美国家庭的生态文化资产。本项随机分组试验共纳入 248 名儿童（M=67 个月，女孩占 50%，涉及 13 所学校），旨在通过为期 4 周的家庭干预方案利用饮食规律，改善拉丁美裔幼儿园儿童在美国的发展结果。该方案对儿童词汇（尤其是与食物相关的词汇）在治疗结束时和 5 个月随访时的影响较大，对学习方法（包括数学学习方法）和执行功能在 5 个月随访时的影响有一定提示（d=0.38-0.95）。该方案对儿童的数学或读写技能没有统计学意义上的显著影响。基于优势、对文化有回应的家庭干预措施融入拉丁美裔家庭生活，可以提高儿童在学校取得成功所需的技能。
