Book Maternal Behavioral Determinants and Child Dietary Quality in Latino Families

Download or read book Maternal Behavioral Determinants and Child Dietary Quality in Latino Families written by Citlalli R. Gonzalez and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The purpose of this study was to conduct a secondary analysis to examine the association between the change from baseline to follow-up in Latino mothers’ self-reported nutrition knowledge, self-efficacy, intentions, food label use, and role modeling from baseline to follow-up with their reports of children’s dietary intake measured at follow-up. Data were obtained from from Sanos y Fuertes, a culturally-tailored community-based nutrition education intervention. The participants were Latino mothers and their children ages 2 to 8 years old. A dietary quality scoring system was created using food frequency data. To account for reported frequencies, five set points were created to define criteria for high dietary quality. Logistic regression tests were conducted for the five set points. The change in nutrition knowledge (p = .019) and role modeling (p = .034) of the mothers significantly predicted probability of higher child dietary quality at follow-up. Findings suggest the need for interventions that focus on increasing parental dietary knowledge while emphasizing the importance of role modeling. Further research is needed to explore cultural-related dietary differences between Latinos and non-Latinos.

Book Adolescence  Affect and Health  PLE  Emotion

Download or read book Adolescence Affect and Health PLE Emotion written by Donna Spruijt-Metz and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2014-11-20 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1999, this title covers the entire empirical cycle in adolescent health research and education. It describes in depth the development and evaluation of a health education programme designed to enhance everyday health-related behaviours in an adolescent population, and offers comprehensive reviews of developmental theories of adolescence, ethical and theoretical issues in adolescent health education, and the major theories used in adolescent health research. The research presented here led to the development and testing of a new theory – the Theory of Salient Meanings of Behaviour – which departed from the cognitive theories that had thus far dominated adolescent health education and research, but which had often proved inadequate in describing and predicting adolescent health-related behaviour. The inception, growth, testing, and field testing of this new theory are traced here. The book is designed to appeal to both theoretical and applied scientists in the field of adolescent development, adolescent health and health education. A clear research methodology is set out for the complementary use of a wide range of qualitative and quantitative research methods.

This book was released on 2018-06-11 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: FAO provides countries with technical support to conduct nutrition assessments, in particular to build the evidence base required for countries to achieve commitments made at the Second International Conference on Nutrition (ICN2) and under the 2016-2025 UN Decade of Action on Nutrition. Such concrete evidence can only derive from precise and valid measures of what people eat and drink. There is a wide range of dietary assessment methods available to measure food and nutrient intakes (expressed as energy insufficiency, diet quality and food patterns etc.) in diet and nutrition surveys, in impact surveys, and in monitoring and evaluation. Differenct indicators can be selected according to a study's objectives, sample population, costs and required precision. In low capacity settings, a number of other issues should be considered (e.g. availability of food composition tables, cultural and community specific issues, such as intra-household distribution of foods and eating from shared plates, etc.). This manual aims to signpost for the users the best way to measure food and nutrient intakes and to enhance their understanding of the key features, strengths and limitations of various methods. It also highlights a number of common methodological considerations involved in the selection process. Target audience comprises of individuals (policy-makers, programme managers, educators, health professionals including dietitians and nutritionists, field workers and researchers) involved in national surveys, programme planning and monitoring and evaluation in low capacity settings, as well as those in charge of knowledge brokering for policy-making.

Book The Impact of Health Education Among Communities W  The Food Education Project  Exploring Healthy Eating to Modify Health Behaviors Among Youth  A Primary Intervention

Download or read book The Impact of Health Education Among Communities W The Food Education Project Exploring Healthy Eating to Modify Health Behaviors Among Youth A Primary Intervention written by Cheryl S Aguilar and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Obesity and diabetes among adults and children remains a public health concern. Rates of obesity among both demographics are slowly increasing. A plethora of research is available that unveils demographics of those who are at risk of obesity and diabetes. Barriers to healthy eating have also been documented. However, obesity remains a behavioral concern. The Food Education Project (FEP) began in 2012 and emphasizes health education throughout partnered schools in San Francisco. Health educators are employed and lead after school enrichment courses which are chosen by students. The students served are aged 5-17 and are at risk for obesity in public and private schools. Lesson plans are generated according to age group to engage students and enhance knowledge surrounding health, food, environment, and nutrition. Students are taught self-efficacy and self-awareness through cooking healthy meals and participating in outdoor gardening activities throughout the 36-week course. Parents of elementary school children expressed gratitude for FEP upon interaction with health educators. Students have expressed their desire for healthy eating through their enthusiasm and excitement during courses. Future work should analyze surveys distributed to Immaculate Conception Academy High School, a partnered school and second cohort with FEP. Pre- and post- surveys should assess knowledge retained and behaviors changed after the culmination of the course to evaluate the effectiveness of the program. Call for more support from governmental organizations to contribute to healthy eating could be beneficial to improve community health. ℗Ư
