Brief summary

Using a randomized two-group, repeated measures experimental design, the goal of the proposed study is to investigate the efficacy of a 12-week nutrition and exercise education, physical activity, coping skills training, and home-based physical activity intervention in Hispanic women and their 3-5 year old children and 6 months of continued monthly contact to help overweight and obese Hispanic mothers improve adiposity, weight, health behaviors, and self-efficacy and their 3-5 year old children improve their adiposity and weight gain trajectory and health behaviors.

Detailed description

Hispanic women and children who become overweight or obese are at risk for developing prediabetes, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease later in life. To date, there have been no interdisciplinary interventions that have targeted Hispanic women and their 3-5 year old children to improve nutrition and physical activity behaviors to manage adiposity and weight in mothers and prevent excessive adiposity and weight gain trajectory in their children. Using a randomized two-group, repeated measures experimental design, the goal of the proposed study is to investigate the efficacy of a 12-week nutrition and exercise education, physical activity, coping skills training, and home-based physical activity intervention in Hispanic women and their 3-5 year old children and 6 months of continued monthly contact to help overweight and obese Hispanic mothers improve adiposity, weight, health behaviors (nutrition and physical activity), and self-efficacy and their 3-5 year old children improve their adiposity and weight gain trajectory and health behaviors (nutrition and physical activity). The investigators will partner with two federally qualified health departments in Durham and Chatham, North Carolina to enroll Hispanic women and their 3-5 year old children and the investigators will partner with community centers to deliver the intervention. A total of 294 Hispanic women with a BMI \>25 kg/m² and 294 Hispanic 3-5 year old children with a BMI percentile \> 25 will be enrolled over 4 years and randomized to the experimental or equal attention control group. Data will be collected at Time 1 (0 months \[baseline\]) to Time 2 (9 months \[completion of the intervention\]) and Time 1 to Time 3 (15 months \[after 6 months with no contact from the study staff\]). Data collected will include adiposity (primary outcomes: waist circumference, triceps and subscapular skinfolds) in mothers and children and weight (primary outcomes: body mass index \[BMI\] in mothers and BMI percentile in the children). Secondary outcomes will include health behaviors and self-efficacy in the mothers (Adult Health Behavior Questionnaire, Lifestyle Health Promoting Profile II, 3 day 24-Hour Food Recall, and 7 day Accelerometer, Eating Self-Efficacy Scale and Exercise Self-Efficacy Scale) and in the children (7 day Accelerometer and 3 day 24-Hour Food Recall). The investigators will also evaluate the cost of delivering the program for public health departments. Data analysis will use general linear mixed models to test the hypotheses. Decreasing overweight and obesity in Hispanic women and slowing adiposity and weight gain trajectory in young Hispanic children is urgently needed to decrease morbidity, mortality, and future health care costs. The knowledge to be gained from this study may provide a foundation for extending this intervention to other Hispanic mothers and children in other communities to assist mothers in managing their weight and preventing excessive adiposity and weight gain in their children. This approach is translatable, real-world, and could be replicated in other areas of the United States.

Interventions

Mothers. Twelve weekly classes for one hour focused on nutrition and exercise education and coping skills training followed by a forty five minute exercise class for mothers. Then they will return for one hour for continued support and a forty-five minute exercise class. Children. Twelve weekly classes for one hour focused on Color Me Healthy and one hour of free play. Then 6 monthly continued support classes where a Color Me Healthy class will be reviewed and they will have one hour of free play.

OTHEREnglish for Second Language Intervention

Mothers. Control group mothers will receive 12 weekly English for Second Language classes for one hour and forty-five minutes. Then 6 monthly one hour and forty minute follow-up classes receiving English for Second Language material. Children. Control group children will receive 12 weekly one hour and forty five minutes of having books read to them. Followed by 6 monthly meetings for one hour and 45 minutes being read to and coloring with crayons.

Masking description

The statistician has created a randomization table in RedCap. After enrollment and baseline assessment, dyads will be randomized to either the intervention or control group using a computer-generated randomization table, stratifying by BMI group, overweight (25 - 29.9 kg/m²) and obese (\>30 kg/m²), and utilizing blocking to help ensure balance between the groups. Mothers will be informed of their group assignment by telephone.

Change in Eating Self-Efficacy Questionnaire in Mothers From Baseline (Time 1) to Time 2Baseline (Time 1), Time 2 (Intervention completion, approximately 9 months)This is a 25 question questionnaire asking how much difficulty the Mother has with controlling her eating in social situations and everyday. The range of scores go from 1 to 7 with 1 being no difficulty controlling eating to 4 moderate difficulty controlling eating to 7 the most difficulty controlling eating. The 25 questions are added to produce a total score. A lower score equals less difficulty controlling eating and a higher score equals more difficulty controlling eating.

Participant flow

Pre-assignment details

Dyad study design. Only one consent was signed by mother to agree to both mother and child to participant in the study; therefore, a total of 578 were enrolled in the study. 4 signed the consent but were not randomized into the groups for this study and did not participate in the intervention because of a lack of desire to participate just prior to the intervention starting; therefore, were not enrolled in the arms. Mother/child dyads that went into the arms/groups Total= 574.
