| Résumé : | [BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS 7R0xV8BB. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Objectives : This field study tested the feasibility and benefits of a program to promote 6 targeted parental behaviors to prevent obesity in children served by the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC). Methods : Two WIC sites participated in a nonrandomized, controlled 1-year prospective study to assess parents'self-reported behavior changes. Results : Statistical analyses of preintervention and postintervention assessments of parental behavior demonstrated significant changes in 2 behaviors : frequency of offering the child water and frequency of engaging in active play with the child. In both cases, the intervention proved effective in increasing the desired behavior. Conclusions : The findings demonstrate the feasibility of changing parental behaviors through multidimensional education in a WIC clinic setting. |
