Hispanic mothers and children in the United States experience a high prevalence of obesity, which may be affected by maternal acculturation level.

Mothers (n = 557) of you…

Thus, the purpose of this study was to examine breakfast-related cognitions (i.e., beliefs, attitudes, facilitators, barriers) of parents and school-age children (ages 6-11 years) using the constructs of Social Cognitive Theory as a guide. Parents ( n = 37) and…
