简要总结
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of an intervention (KAN-DO: Kids & Adults Now - Defeat Obesity) encouraging postpartum mothers and their preschool-aged children to work together to promote healthy eating, increase physical activity, and reduce sedentary behaviors. Via instruction in parenting skills and behavior change strategies, the goal is relative weight maintenance in children of healthy weight, and relative weight reduction in overweight children. The intervention will focus on a child (2-5 years of age) and his or her overweight or obese mother, who has just delivered a second or subsequent baby.

OVERVIEW
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of an intervention encouraging postpartum mothers and their preschool-aged children to work together to promote healthy eating, increase physical activity, and reduce sedentary behaviors. Via instruction in parenting skills and behavior change strategies, the end goal is relative weight maintenance in children of healthy weight, and relative weight reduction in overweight children. The intervention will focus on a preschooler (2-5 years of age) and his or her overweight or obese mother, who has just delivered a second or subsequent baby. 400 mother/preschooler dyads from the Triad and Triangle areas of NC will be randomized to:
THE CONTROL ARM Mothers in the control arm will receive a monthly newsletter, and be given monetary incentives to complete the baseline and follow-up assessments; or
THE KAN-DO INTERVENTION ARM Mothers and preschoolers in the intervention group will receive monthly mailed family kits that encourage interactive mother/child exercises for healthy lifestyle change. Mailings are supported by counseling calls and two in-person motivational/informational group sessions. The content of the intervention addresses parenting skills, healthy eating, and physical activity. Families can earn $40 for returning postcards describing their activities in the past month.
PRIMARY AIMS of the study address weight and behavior change in the child. SECONDARY AIMS of the study address expected healthy changes in the mother. Further, we will investigate the roles of parenting skills.
