- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method pdate<br>Child dietary intake Measured by the Children’s Dietary Questionnaire, which assesses intake patterns over the past week or 24 hours for foods and beverages which are recommended or discouraged for a healthy weight. This tool has demonstrated acceptable reliability and validity for assessing child dietary patterns among preschool children at a population level, and for use in assessing the efficacy to improve children’s eating habits (Margarey et al 2009).<br>As the CDQ does not assess number of servings, crude servings-based measures of child fruit and vegetable intake will also be used. These questions were taken from the New South Wales Child Health Survey and ask parents How many serves of fruit does [child name] usually eat each day?” and How many serves of vegetables does [child name] usually eat each day? (Centre for Epidemiology and Evidence 2012).[Baseline, 6-month and 26-month (approx). post-intervention follow-up. ]
