“…Cultural sensitivity was also found to be an influencing factor in studies in this review ( Harvey – Berino and Rourke’s, 2003 ) and Yin et al’s (2012) study with Native American children and Mexican American children. The findings of two recent RCTs with Hispanic and Latino families ( Crespo et al, 2018 ; Hull et al, 2016 ) suggest the need for tailoring childhood obesity interventions to special populations to optimise engagement.…”

Childhood obesity worldwide affects 5.6% or 38.3 million children under five years of age. The longer children are overweight or obese, the more likely they are to become obese adults with all the contingent morbidity involved. An extensive number of preventive interventions to combat childhood obesity have been carried out worldwide. This article reports a systematic review of interventions aimed to reducing or preventing obesity under-fives. The search was performed with six different databases: Web of Science, PsycINFO, Cochrane, PubMed, Medline, and CINAHL. Studies meeting the inclusion criteria were independently assessed using Joanna Briggs Institute methodology. Thirty studies involving 23,185 children across nine countries were included. Twenty-two were randomised controlled trials, and 8 quasi-experimental pretest/post-test design with comparison. These studies fell into four different categories: home-based interventions with family involvement (n ¼ 12), preschool/early childhood settings (n ¼ 9), multicomponent interventions across multiple settings (n ¼ 6) and healthcare setting (n ¼ 3). Future research should focus on increasing the accessibility of education on diet and physical activity for deprived families as well as the cultural acceptability of interventions to prevent childhood obesity.

“…Burkart et al. ( 2017 ) and Crespo et al ( 2018 ) reported low attendance rates as one of the major barriers to conducting their culturally tailored interventions. Retaining participants for the entirety of an intervention is imperative to ensure research is valid and reliable and to gain adequate power of sample (Langford et al., 2015 ).…”

In the United States, diverse ethnic minority groups are growing fast. In 2045, it is projected that 49.3% of the US population will be composed of Hispanic or Latinx, African American, Asian and multiracial populations (Frey, 2018), up from 41.8% in 2019 (United States Census Bureau, 2019). These populations are often underserved by healthcare systems because of economic and language barriers, meaning they frequently experience low-quality care (Torres-Ruiz et al. 2018). One consequence of the combination of increasing minority populations and persistently bad care is that the number of high-risk patients-patients who typically experience high individual healthcare costs and economic losses (Joo & Liu, 2020)-in minority populations is increasing. One promising way to improve healthcare equity and quality for minority populations is by employing culturally tailored interventions (Torres-Ruiz et al. 2018). Culturally tailored interventions have been shown promising care coordination that improving access to healthcare systems and clinical outcomes to ethnic minorities (Joo, 2014;Joo & Liu, 2020;Torres-Ruiz et al. 2018). | BackgroundCultural tailoring of interventions means "the adaptation of the study design, materials and other components of the intervention to reflect cultural needs and preferences at the population level" (Torres-Ruiz

The social environment and childhood obesity: Implications for research and practice in the United States and countries in Latin America

et al. 2021

Summary The environments of children influence their risk for childhood obesity through, among other factors, a child's weight‐related behaviors (i.e., diet and physical activity). In this article, we present evidence on social environmental factors associated with a child's diet and physical activity, and more generally, the prevention and control of childhood obesity among Hispanic/Latinx children in the United States and children from countries in Latin America. Using a socio‐ecologic lens, we present evidence from cross‐sectional and longitudinal studies conducted in the United States involving Hispanic/Latinx children, and evidence from studies involving children in Latin America. Studies examining parenting factors in the home environment (e.g., parenting strategies) are especially emphasized, with more limited evidence on social environmental factors in other lived contexts (e.g., school). The influence of acculturation on social relationships cuts across levels of the socio‐ecological framework. Intervention research identified strategies and research gaps for intervening on social factors to promote healthy behaviors and reduce risk for childhood obesity. Community health workers and others forms of peer support were identified as relevant approaches at multiple levels of the socio‐ecological framework. This article concludes with directions for future research to further understand the environment using newer information and communication technologies.
