Snacking Clinical Trial
Official title:
Snack It Up for Parents: Interventions to Improve Children's Snacks
Influencing children's snacking habits has the potential to reap long-term rewards, yet few studies have focused on helping parents to provide healthier snacks for their children. The study tested the feasibility and preliminary effectiveness of parent interventions to improve snacks for children ages 8-12.
Objective. Influencing children's snacking habits has the potential to reap long-term
rewards, yet few studies have focused on helping parents to provide healthier snacks for
their children. The study tested the feasibility and preliminary effectiveness of parent
interventions to improve snacks for children ages 8-12.
Methods. Parents of children enrolled in an out-of-school-time soccer program in a low-income
school district (n 16) were recruited. A comparison of 3 randomly-assigned interventions was
conducted: 4 parents received grocery store gift cards (Incentive); 7 received nutrition
education videos with tip sheets (Education); and 5 received both (Combined). The
interventions were assessed qualitatively by interviewing parents and quantitatively to
determine motivation (psychosocial survey) and children's snack quality (web-based 24-hour
recall).
