Latinos have disproportionately high rates of obesity and type 2 diabetes. Family-based interventions may reduce chronic disease risk among Latinos across generations. Purpose: To assess the efficacy of Athletes for Life (AFL), a 12-week community-and-family-based behavioral intervention, for improving diet, physical activity (PA), anthropometrics, fitness, and biochemical outcomes among mostly Latino parents.Methods: Parents with at least one child 6-11 years of age were randomized to active AFL participation (n=14) or a wait-list control (n=14) group. AFL consisted of twice weekly 90 minute sessions (45 minutes of nutrition-focused lessons and 45 minutes of PA participation) designed to promote fruit and vegetable consumption, reduction of sugar intake, and increasing habitual PA. Data were collected prior to and immediately after the 12 week intervention. Results: Participants (37.9±7.2y) were mostly Latino (93%), Spanish speaking (68%), and women (93%). Relative to participants in the control group, AFL participants had a significant reduction in body fat (-1.1±1.2% vs. 0.2±1.2%; p=0.014), resting (-7.6±10.2 bpm vs. +2.1±6.8 bpm; p

The current study evaluated the initial feasibility, efficacy, and acceptability of a motivationally-tailored family-based intervention designed to promote the adoption of healthy lifestyle behaviors associated with physical activity and nutrition. Parents (N=132) of children 6 to 11 years old were randomly assigned to the intervention or control condition, and they completed a series of online questionnaires. Intervention participants (n=61) received a single motivationally-tailored feedback report via e-mail. Control participants (n=71) completed measures and immediately received information about a free online resource that provides information about healthy lifestyle behaviors (www.mypyramid.gov). Feasibility data indicate that an online feedback program has high dissemination potential (parents from 31 states participated). However, the current methodology is not sufficient in reaching families who are at greatest risk for developing chronic health conditions associated with obesity or low activity level. In general, the intervention was acceptable to parents. Outcome data revealed that the intervention and control groups did not differ significantly on most variables at one month follow-up. Exploratory analyses provided additional evidence for the importance of including parents and targeting parent-child interactions in the context of pediatric nutrition and physical activity interventions. Limitations and future directions are discussed.

Prevalence of childhood overweight and obesity has tripled in the United States in the last 30 years, resulting in 31.8% of youth (ages 2-19 years of age) classified as overweight or obese.1,2 To date many high-intensity and medium-intensity programs have been developed and tested in efforts to ameliorate the high prevalence of childhood obesity, however there is a gap in the testing and implementation of low-intensity family-based treatments.3-7 The Traffic Light Program is the only childhood obesity program that has published long-term outcomes and was developed by Epstein et. al., however it only includes children from ages 6-12. We developed an 8-week family based childhood obesity program (Healthy Hawkeye Program) to test the feasibility and efficacy of an adapted version (light intensity) of the Traffic Light Program in families of overweight and obese children. To our knowledge, this is the first study to test the efficacy of a low-intensity (21 hours) comprehensive family-based intervention specifically tailored for overweight and obese children from 6 to 17 years of age. Measures include body composition (weight, fat mass, lean body mass, body fat %, BMI, waist circumference), sedentary, light and moderate levels of physical activity (wrist-worn Generative Accelerometer), dietary quality (caloric intake, fruit/vegetable daily servings), measures of nutritional and physical activity self-efficacy, Lifestyle Behavior Checklist (LBC), Family Nutrition and Physical activity (FNPA) survey, Satisfaction with Life Scale, and the Healthy Hawkeye Program Evaluation Survey. We hypothesize that participants will improve in selected (1) health measures (weight, caloric intake, daily fruit intake, daily vegetable intake, sedentary, light, and moderate physical activity levels), (2) improve in selected theoretical constructs (self-efficacy, behaviors, environments), and (3) will find the Healthy Hawkeye Program acceptable and helpful. A total of five families were recruited and only 3 families (3 mothers, 2 male children, and 1 female child) completed the program (attended 6 of 8 weekly meetings). The very low sample size of only 3 families limited the statistical analysis. The results showed parents reduced their absolute weight by 5.6 lbs and children slightly increased by 0.1 lbs. Both parents and children decreased their daily sedentary time tary time as well as increased their daily moderate activity. Various measures of self-efficacy, behaviors, nutrition improved among parents and children. Parents and children found the program to be acceptable and helpful.

The theoretical part of the monograph presented theories and models of parent-child health-related behaviours, including parental involvement in the physical activity, screen time, and eating behaviours of their children. The findings of retrospective, experimental, and meta-analytic studies indicate that a long-term positive outcome for the reduction of the excessive body weight of children or the formation of an active lifestyle requires the active participation of parents. Therefore, the main objective of the monograph is to describe the parent-child patterns of the physical activity and sedentary behaviour of Czech families with pre-schoolers and school-aged children and answer the question of which family-based determinants affect the likelihood of the overweight/obesity of children.

The Cape Town Commitment, which arose from The Third Lausanne Congress on World Evangelization (Cape Town, 2010), stands in the historic line of The Lausanne Covenant (1974) and The Manila Manifesto (1989). It has been translated into twenty-five languages and has commanded wide acceptance around the world. The Commitment is set in two parts. Part 1 is a Confession of Faith, crafted in the language of covenantal love. Part 2 is a Call to Action. The local church, mission agencies, special-interest groups, and Christians in the professions are all urged to find their place in its outworking. This annotated bibliography of The Cape Town Commitment, arranged by topic, has been compiled by specialists in a range of fields. As such, it is the first bibliography of its kind.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of "A Taste of Good Health," a school-based parent education program designed to affect healthful behavior in parent participants and their families in a large urban school district. Participant nutrition, physical activity, cooking knowledge, and Body Mass Index (BMI) were measured before, during, and three months after the parent education intervention. To address the research questions, this dissertation employed mixed-methods and pre-experimental survey design in evaluating the effectiveness of the parent workshops. The planned intervention consisted of a 4-week program, meeting once a week for 2.5 hours at each meeting, for a total of 10 hours of instruction. In order to measure the effectiveness of the intervention in changing participants' knowledge and behavior, quantitative data were collected through survey administration. There were a total of 202 participants who consented to participate in the research study. To augment the quantitative data, qualitative data were collected from participants in the program during debriefing sessions at week 4 and at the follow up sessions in week 12. In addition, during the follow up sessions in week 12, one-on-one questioning was completed with each participant. Results suggest that participants used the knowledge gained in the classes to create healthier home environments for their children and families. Using both quantitative and qualitative measures, major findings indicated participants in all five schools reported: (1) significantly increasing their nutrition, cooking, and physical activity knowledge from pretest to posttest and follow-up; (2) significantly decreasing their body weight and BMI from pretest to posttest; and (3) making significant changes in cooking, eating, and physical activity behaviors.

"Objective: To assess the impact of a healthy choices and activities intervention program utilizing goal coaches to guide adolescents as positive change agents for Latino parental/caregiver family food decisions Study Design, Setting, and Participants: Research design included two phases: (1) a developmental phase with youth and goal-coach curriculum development and testing, and (2) an implementation phase with a 6-week healthy choices and physical activities intervention pilot program. Participants in the developmental and pilot phase of the study include both children (10-14 years) and their Spanish speaking primary caretakers who attend a church youth group program in central North Carolina. Goal coaches include youth mentors between the ages of 18 to 24, recruited from a local college in central North Carolina. Outcome, Measures and Analysis: 1) Content analysis of focus groups with youth and goal coaches were conducted to determine ease of use and compliance with study methodology, including photo journaling and family goal setting, as well as message appropriateness for youth and goal coaches. 2) During implementation and one month follow up the following were assessed: pre/post testing of parent/caregiver food behaviors, fruit and vegetable intake, and physical activity behaviors; youth nutrition, physical activity habits and BMI; and adherence to established family goals. Results: 21 youth and 5 goal coaches were recruited to participate. All materials were developed utilizing constructs from the Social Cognitive Theory, and translated. 1) During the focus groups, goal coaches reported that they learned from the youth that parents are a barrier to influencing healthy family behaviors. Youth also reported that they were non-compliant with the use of the photo journal. 2) Youth were able to successfully set family-based nutrition and physical activity goals with 82% family compliance overall. Parents reported increased physical activity and healthy food behaviors pre- and post-intervention, including increased nutrient-dense food purchasing one-month post-intervention. One-month follow-up surveys reported an increase in healthy nutrition and physical activities in homes. Conclusions and Implications: This innovative approach is a promising strategy for reducing the adverse health effects associated with dietary acculturation among Latino families. It builds upon the inherent value of familism as well as the strengths of adolescents as carriers of nutrition and health information. Future research is needed to expand upon these strategies to better tailor nutrition education messaging for Latino immigrant families."--Abstract from author supplied metadata.
