Determine self-reported parental feeding behavior changes and perspectives on parental feeding intervention at 12-month follow-up.
Telephone focus groups using a 2 × 2 design (English/Spanish × in-class or online) with Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program participants (n = 37) with children 2-8 years and high exposure to the Food, Feeding, and Your Family intervention (7 lessons). Researchers (n = 3) independently identified themes.
Parental behavior changes that (1) positively influenced children's diets, (2) involved children in food-related activities, (3) eased stressful situations around food, (4) led to healthier food choices, and (5) saved money when food shopping. Commonly implemented practices included establishing structured mealtime routines, introducing new foods multiple times, and encouraging children's eating competence. Online participants noted materials were easily accessible via text messages.
Incorporating parental feeding content (in-class or online) into nutrition education interventions, such as the Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program, supports developing positive parental feeding behaviors in families with low income.
在 12 个月随访时,确定自我报告的父母喂养行为变化和对父母喂养干预的看法。
使用扩展食品和营养教育计划参与者(n = 37)的电话焦点小组,采用 2 × 2 设计(英语/西班牙语×课堂或在线),这些参与者的孩子年龄在 2-8 岁,并且高度接触食品、喂养和您的家庭干预(7 课)。研究人员(n = 3)独立确定主题。
父母行为的变化(1)积极影响孩子的饮食,(2)让孩子参与与食物相关的活动,(3)缓解与食物有关的紧张情况,(4)导致更健康的食物选择,(5)在购买食物时省钱。常见的实施做法包括建立有规律的用餐时间、多次引入新食物以及鼓励孩子的饮食能力。在线参与者指出,通过短信可以轻松访问材料。
将父母喂养内容(课堂或在线)纳入营养教育干预措施,例如扩展食品和营养教育计划,可以支持低收入家庭发展积极的父母喂养行为。
