Differences in food parenting at home versus restaurants among parents of 3-to-8-year-old children
Food Acquisition and Daily Life for U.S. Families with 4- to 8-Year-Old Children during Covid-19
Evidence of short-term impacts of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on family life is emerging. Continued research can shed light on potential longer-term impacts. An online survey of U.S. parents with 4- to 8-year-old children ( n = 1000) was administered in October 2020. The survey examined parent-reported impacts of COVID-19 on lifestyle (e.g., work, child-care, grocery shopping), as well as current family food acquisition and e…
Examining taste testing and point-of-purchase prompting as strategies to promote healthier food selection from food trucks
Objective: To examine the feasibility of taste testing and point-of-purchase prompting to promote healthier food choices at a food truck event.

Implementation fidelity, acceptability and initial effectiveness were assessed via observation, patron surveys and sal…
Associations between Parental and Child Screen Time and Quality of the Home Environment

We aimed to assess the relationship between parental and child screen use and home environment characteristics. (2) Methods: Thirty-six 3-to-4-year-old healthy children were recruited. Parents reported their own and their child's weekday and weekend daytime screen use. The child's home environment and parent-child interactions were assessed using the…

Development of a measure of the relative reinforcing value of food versus parent-child interaction for young children
Availability of Healthier Children’s Menu Items in the Top Selling Quick Service Restaurant Chains (2004–2015)
Objectives. To describe time trends in the availability of healthier children’s menu items in the top selling quick service restaurant (QSR) chains. Methods. We used Technomic Inc.’s MenuMonitor to construct a data set of side and beverage items available on children’s menus from 2004 to 2015 at 20 QSR chains in the United States. We evaluated the significance of time trends in the average availability of healthier fruit and nonfried vegetable si…
Repeatability of the infant food reinforcement paradigm
Snacks, beverages, and physical activity during volunteer-led out-of-school-time programs
Most programs did not meet criteria for healthier snacks and beverages and opportunities for PA during typical meetings, indicating room for improvement in encouraging widespread adoption of these practices. Efforts to improve the healthfulness of snacks and beverages and increase opportunities for PA during volunteer-led OST programs are warranted
Low parental awareness about energy (calorie) recommendations for children’s restaurant meals
Objective To assess parental awareness of per-meal energy (calorie) recommendations for children’s restaurant meals and to explore whether calorie awareness was associated with parental sociodemographic characteristics and frequency of eating restaurant food. Design Cross-sectional online survey administered in July 2014. Parents estimated calories (i.e. kilocalories; 1 kcal=4·184 kJ) recommended for a child’s lunch/dinner restaurant meal (range:…
