简要总结
The primary goal of the study is to use an iterative process to develop and refine a skill-based cooking intervention to decrease the consumption of energy from foods prepared away from home for evening meals, decrease energy intake, and promote a healthy weight in parents and children aged 3-10 years.
详细描述
Phase I. Conduct 2-4 focus groups with 6-10 caretaker, who report eating foods prepared away from home ≥3 times per week, per group to gain insight into current eating behaviors of foods prepared away from home, current perceptions about a home prepared evening meal, and barriers to preparing evening meals at home. Information gathered during Phase I will be used to inform intervention development in Phase II.
Phase II. Develop, refine, and manualize a skill-based cooking intervention for overweight/obese caretakers of a child aged 3-10 years. The aim of Phase II is to test the feasibility of a skill-based cooking intervention to reduce the consumption of foods prepared away from home for the evening meal (e.g., pre-prepared frozen foods, restaurant foods, fast food, take-out), energy intake from evening meals, and promote a healthy weight in parents and children. Information collected during Phase I will inform the development of the skill-based cooking intervention. Once developed, the intervention will be refined with 6 primary caretakers of a child, who meet criteria for being overweight/obese during a testing phase. Conducting the intervention with at least six families will provide the opportunity for further refinement of intervention procedures. The results will be important to demonstrate feasibility for a future pilot randomized controlled trial that will test the impact of a skill-based cooking intervention compared to a standard cooking demonstration where recipes are simply provided to families.

结局指标
主要结局
Dietary Intake (Phase II only)
时间窗: 0 and 10 weeks
Caregivers will be asked to complete a 7-day dietary record of what they and their child eat at the evening meal. For each evening meal, the caretaker will be asked to describe the meal type (fast food, restaurant, pre-prepared frozen meal, or home prepared); the specific foods and drinks consumed, and the amount consumed by the child. Data from dietary records will be input into Nutrition Data System for Research (NDSR) software and analyzed for energy intake, percent energy from fat, and food groups (fruits, vegetables, grains, proteins, dairy) from the evening meal. Foods prepared away from home will be classified based on caretaker indication of fast food, restaurant, pre-prepared frozen meal, or home prepared on the dietary record.
