Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Feasibility outcomes: 1. Recruitment rate is measured using patient demographic data on reply slip at baseline 2. Attendance rate is measured using patient demographic data on attendance sheet at each week of intervention 3. Attrition rate is measured using patient demographic data on attendance sheets and questionnaires at the end of intervention and follow up 4. Acceptability of delivering the adapted intervention programme to a multi-ethnic population is measured using qualitative methods (interviews and observations) during and after intervention up to 6 month follow-up | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Fathers: 1. Weight is measured using Tanita scales (Kg) at baseline and 6 months 2. % losing =5% body mass is measured using Tanita scale at baseline and 6 months 3. Waist circumference (cm) measured at baseline and 6 months 4. % body fat is measured using Tanita scales at baseline and 6 months 5. Self-reported physical activity measured by the IPAQ-short at baseline, 3 and 6 months 6. Objectively measured physical activity measured by a GENEactiv accelerometer at baseline and 6 months 7. Self-reported dietary intake is measured using frequencies of indictor foods and eating behaviours at baseline, 3 and 6 months 8. Father involvement is measured using the Parent-Child Relationships Questionnaire at baseline, 3 and 6 months 9. Parenting for physical activity using the physical activity items from the ‘Parenting Strategies for Eating and Activity Scale’ at baseline, 3 and 6 months 10. General quality of life is measured by the EQ-5D-5L at baseline, 3 and 6 months 11. Health care utilisation is measured using the ICECAP at baseline, 3 and 6 months Children: 1. Children’s BMI z-score is calculated using weight and height measurements at baseline and 6 months 2. % body fat is measured using Tanita scales at baseline and 6 months 3. % categorised as overweight or obese is measured using Tanita scales at baseline and 6 months 4. Parent-reported dietary intake for eldest child in study is measured using frequencies of indictor foods and eating behaviours at baseline, 3 and 6 months 5. Objectively measured physical activity (eldest child in study) is measured using Geneactive accelerometers at baseline and 6 months 6. The feasibility of collecting educational attainment will be explored at baseline and 6 months 7. Paediatric quality of life is measured using CHU-9D at baseline and 6 months | — |
