Incongruence in fathers' and mothers' adverse childhood experiences and children's behavior problems
Objective To examine associations between (in)congruence within parent dyads' adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and children's behavior problems. Background Despite evidence that both parents influence child health, studies on multigenerational consequences of ACEs have focused on one parent. Yet many children have two parents exposed to ACEs. Fathers' and mothers' ACEs may intersect, and their shared, or differing, experience of ACEs may have…
Increased Household Responsibility During Covid-19 Is Associated With Higher Current Parenting Responsibility Among Fathers, but Not Mothers
The pandemic may have catalyzed increases in father responsibility and facilitated a shift towards more egalitarian household labor divisions. Findings pose design implications for parenting interventions; for example, programs may shift from mother-focused to family-systems approaches, include content that reflect more egalitarian care, and incorporate curricula that address fathers' increasing responsibilities
Validation of a brief food parenting measure for fathers
Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Fathers' Food Parenting Practices and Children's Diets
Racial and ethnic disparities in children's diets are prevalent. Little is known about how fathers' food parenting practices may contribute to these disparities. We examined racial and ethnic variations in food parenting practices and their associations with 2–6-year-old children's diets in a cross-sectional sample of U.S. fathers surveyed in 2021–2023 (N = 1015; 16% Asian, 9% Black, 6% Hispanic, 70% White; Mage = 37 years) using path analysis. F…

Prospective Associations Between Fathers’ Engagement in Infant Caregiving and Their Weight-Related Behaviors and Mental Health
Fathers’ engagement in infant caregiving is linked with positive social, emotional, and developmental outcomes in children; however, its relationship with fathers’ own health is largely unknown. This longitudinal study examined associations between fathers’ caregiving engagement with their 6-month-old infants and their physical activity, sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) consumption, nighttime sleep duration, and depressive symptoms 6 months later w…

Development and Psychometric Properties of the Sleep Parenting Scale for Infants
Although infants' sleep behaviors are shaped by their interactions with parents at bedtime, few tools exist to capture parents' sleep parenting practices. This study developed a Sleep Parenting Scale for Infants (SPS-I) and aimed to (1) explore and validate its factorial structure, (2) examine its measurement invariance across mothers and fathers, and (3) investigate its reliability and concurrent and convergent validity. SPS-I was developed via …
Occasions, purposes, and contexts for offering snacks to preschool-aged children
OBJECTIVE: Snacking among preschool aged children is nearly universal and has been associated with overconsumed nutrients, particularly solid fats and added sugars (SoFAS). This research examined caregivers' schemas, or cognitive frameworks, for offering snacks to preschool-aged children. METHODS: A qualitative design utilizing card sort methods was employed. Participants were 59 Black, Hispanic, and White caregivers of children aged 3-5 years wi…
Development and Validation of a Parental Health-Related Empowerment Scale with Low Income Parents
Results support initial validity of a brief survey measuring parental empowerment for child health among Head Start parents. The PEARR can be utilized to measure changes in parental empowerment through interventions targeting empowerment as a mechanism of change
Antenatal dietary concordance among mothers and fathers and gestational weight gain
Mothers had higher risk for excessive GWG when both partners had unhealthy FF consumption frequency, and when fathers had unhealthy FV consumption frequency. These findings imply that fathers should be involved in educational opportunities regarding dietary intake during pregnancy
Autonomous motivation, sugar-sweetened beverage consumption and healthy beverage intake in US families
Objective To assess interdependent effects of autonomous motivation to limit sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) consumption in relation to SSB and healthy beverage (HB) intake in mother–adolescent and father–adolescent dyads. Design Adopting a dyadic cross-sectional design, the actor–partner interdependence modelling (APIM) approach was used to construct and analyse two APIM for mother–adolescent and father–adolescent dyads. The first model assessed …
Changes in the nutritional quality of fast-food items marketed at restaurants, 2010 v. 2013
Objective To examine the nutritional quality of menu items promoted in four (US) fast-food restaurant chains (McDonald’s, Burger King, Wendy’s, Taco Bell) in 2010 and 2013. Design Menu items pictured on signs and menu boards were recorded at 400 fast-food restaurants across the USA. The Nutrient Profile Index (NPI) was used to calculate overall nutrition scores for items (higher scores indicate greater nutritional quality) and was dichotomized to…
Fathers’ Perceived Reasons for Their Underrepresentation in Child Health Research and Strategies to Increase Their Involvement
Conditioned to eat while watching television? Low-income caregivers’ perspectives on the role of snacking and television viewing among pre-schoolers
Objective Although television (TV) viewing is frequently paired with snacking among young children, little is known about the environment in which caregivers promote this behaviour. We describe low-income pre-schoolers’ snacking and TV viewing habits as reported by their primary caregivers, including social/physical snacking contexts, types of snacks and caregiver rationales for offering snacks. These findings may support the development of effec…
Fathers’ Representation in Observational Studies on Parenting and Childhood Obesity
Background. The involvement of fathers in caregiving has increased substantially over the past 30 years. Yet in child and adolescent psychopathology, few studies include fathers as research participants and few present results for fathers separate from those for mothers. We test for the first time whether a similar pattern exists in research on parenting and childhood obesity. Objectives. To conduct a systematic review and quantitative content an…
What do you think of when I say the word ‘snack’?” Towards a cohesive definition among low-income caregivers of preschool-age children
A qualitative study of parents' perceptions and use of portion size strategies for preschool children's snacks
The Activity Support Scale for Multiple Groups (ACTS-MG)
This study aimed to assess the psychometric properties of a child-report, multidimensional measure of physical activity (PA) parenting, the Activity Support Scale for Multiple Groups (ACTS-MG), in African American and non-Hispanic white families. The ACTS-MG was administered to children aged 5 to 12 years. A three factor model of PA parenting (Modeling of PA, Logistic Support, and Restricting Access to Screen-based Activities) was tested separate…

The Empowerment of Low-Income Parents Engaged in a Childhood Obesity Intervention
Parents influence children's obesity risk factors but are infrequently targeted for interventions. This study targeting low-income parents integrated a community-based participatory research approach with the Family Ecological Model and Empowerment Theory to develop a childhood obesity intervention. This article (1) examines pre- to postintervention changes in parents' empowerment; (2) determines the effects of intervention dose on empowerment, a…
Association of Prenatal Participation in a Public Health Nutrition Program With Healthy Infant Weight Gain
Objectives. We tested the hypothesis that early enrollment in the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC) is associated with a reduced risk of rapid infant weight gain (RIWG). Methods. We used a longitudinal cohort of mother–infant pairs (n = 157 590) enrolled in WIC in New York State from 2008 to 2009 and estimated the odds of RIWG, defined as a 12-month change in weight-for-age z score of more than .67, comp…
Weight-Related Teasing in the School Environment
Family Ecological Predictors of Physical Activity Parenting in Low-Income Families
Physical activity (PA) parenting, or strategies parents use to promote PA in children, has been associated with increased PA in children of all ages, including preschool-aged children. However, little is known about the circumstances under which parents adopt such behaviors. This study examined family ecological factors associated with PA parenting. Low-income parents (N = 145) of preschool-aged children (aged 2 to 5 years) were recruited from fi…

Reframing family-centred obesity prevention using the Family Ecological Model
Objective According to the Family Ecological Model (FEM), parenting behaviours are shaped by the contexts in which families are embedded. In the present study, we utilize the FEM to guide a mixed-methods community assessment and summarize the results. Additionally, we discuss the utility of the FEM and outline possible improvements. Design Using a cross-sectional design, qualitative and quantitative methods were used to examine the ecologies of p…
