Overview
Brief Summary
The investigators have developed BUILT in hopes of empowering families to adopt and sustain healthy food, sleep, and exercise routines that optimize child focus, attention, and behavior. Over 6-weeks, the BUILT program will explore what science says about the effects of sleep, nutrition, and exercise on brain development and behavior; investigate the food, sleep, and exercise routines of the world's best athletes and intellectuals; and experiment with home routines to find those that best fits with participating families.
It is hypothesized that families participating in BUILT (N=150) will show significant improvements in child health behaviors (sleep, nutrition, physical activity, recreational screen time), child mental health (ADHD symptoms [primary outcome], child functional impairment), child physical literacy, and family dynamics (cohesion, structure, communication) from baseline to posttest.
Detailed Description
Families enrolled in Chicago Park District programs will be offered the opportunity to participate in the BUILT family lifestyle program. Using a single group design, measures will be taken within two weeks of program start and two weeks after completion. Additional feasibility measures will be taken during the program itself to inform refinements across iterations. The BUILT program will occur largely on-line and consist of weekly home challenges related to food, sleep, and exercise that add up to form a comprehensive home routine--the routine will optimize neurocognitive development and home structure. The program will be co-facilitated by UIC students and Chicago Park District staff. For more information visit the program website: https://built.ahs.uic.edu.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Change from Baseline Moderate-Vigorous Physical Activity at Posttest
Time Frame: Baseline (within 2-weeks of intervention start date), Posttest (within 2-weeks of intervention end date)
Physical activity will be monitored for children at each time point with accelerometers worn at the wrist. Accelerometers provide a valid assessment of physical activity in free-living conditions. Data will be analyzed if ≥7 hours are available for ≥4 days. The outcome is minutes of moderate-vigorous physical activity per day and more minutes of moderate-vigorous physical activity are considered a better outcome.
Change from Baseline Sleep Quantity at Posttest
Time Frame: Baseline (within 2-weeks of intervention start date), Posttest (within 2-weeks of intervention end date)
Sleep quantity will be monitored for children at each time point with accelerometers worn at the wrist. Accelerometers provide a valid assessment of sleep in free-living conditions. Sleep logs will differentiate sleep and wake times. More hours of sleep are considered a better outcome.
Change from Baseline Diet Quality at Posttest
Time Frame: Baseline (within 2-weeks of intervention start date), Posttest (within 2-weeks of intervention end date)
Diet Quality will be assessed for each child at each time point using a Block Food Frequency Questionnaire (NutritionQuest). Higher scores on Diet Quality are considered a better outcome.
Change from Baseline Recreational Screen Time Quantity at Posttest
Time Frame: Baseline (within 2-weeks of intervention start date), Posttest (within 2-weeks of intervention end date)
Recreational Screen time will be assessed by parent report of minutes of daily screen time on weekdays and weekends for school and non-school purposes, rounded to the nearest 15-minute increment. Fewer minutes of daily recreational screen time are considered a better outcome.
Secondary Outcomes
- Change from Baseline Home Structure at Posttest(Baseline (within 2-weeks of intervention start date), Posttest (within 2-weeks of intervention end date))
- Change from Baseline Combined ADHD Symptoms at Posttest(Baseline (within 2-weeks of intervention start date), Posttest (within 2-weeks of intervention end date))
- Change from Baseline Parental Stress at Posttest(Baseline (within 2-weeks of intervention start date), Posttest (within 2-weeks of intervention end date))
- Change from Baseline Family Cohesion at Posttest(Baseline (within 2-weeks of intervention start date), Posttest (within 2-weeks of intervention end date))
- Change from Baseline Physical Literacy at Posttest(Baseline (within 2-weeks of intervention start date), Posttest (within 2-weeks of intervention end date))
- Change from Baseline Social Capital at Posttest(Baseline (within 2-weeks of intervention start date), Posttest (within 2-weeks of intervention end date))
- Change from Baseline Functional Impairment at Posttest(Baseline (within 2-weeks of intervention start date), Posttest (within 2-weeks of intervention end date))
- Change from Baseline Executive Function at Posttest(Baseline (within 2-weeks of intervention start date), Posttest (within 2-weeks of intervention end date))
- Change from Baseline Parent-Child Communication at Posttest(Baseline (within 2-weeks of intervention start date), Posttest (within 2-weeks of intervention end date))
- Change from Baseline Child Resilience at Posttest(Baseline (within 2-weeks of intervention start date), Posttest (within 2-weeks of intervention end date))
