“…Twenty-four students withdrew from the study before the 12-month assessment (n = 287 participants), and nine students withdrew before the 18-month assessment, leaving 88.8% (n = 278) of the initial sample. Participants were a subsample (the control condition) for a larger clinical trial involving healthy life changes and obesity prevention as the control condition for a tobacco, alcohol, and other drug prevention program (see Copeland et al, 2010). There was therefore no reason to believe that participants in the present study would exhibit anything other than typical expectancy development regarding alcohol.…”

ABSTRACT. Objective: Positive outcome expectancies have been shown to predict initiation of alcohol use in children and to mediate and moderate the relationship between dispositional variables and drinking behavior. Negative outcome expectancies for alcohol appear to weaken as children progress to middle adolescence, but positive expectancies tend to increase during this time. Positive alcohol expectancies have been found to increase in children in third and fourth grades, indicating what some investigators have termed a possible critical period for the development of positive expectancies. Method: In the present study, we assessed alcohol expectancies at baseline, 6, 12, and 18 months in 277 secondthrough sixth-grade students. Children completed the Alcohol Expectancy Questionnaire-Adolescent. Univariate analyses of covariance were conducted. Results: There were signifi cant main effects for grade on positive alcohol-expectancy change for Global Positive Transformations at 12 and 18 months, Social Behavior Enhancement or Impediment at 6 and 12 months, and Relaxation/Tension Reduction at 6 and 18 months, whereby a consistent pattern emerged in that lower grades did not differ from each other, but they differed signifi cantly from the higher grades. Conclusions: Data support a critical developmental period for positive alcohol expectancies, with the greatest change observed between third and fourth grade and between fourth and fi fth grade, and only in those expectancies clearly describing positive outcomes (e.g., Relaxation/ Tension Reduction) via positive or negative reinforcement versus those with either combined or ambiguous outcomes (e.g., Social Behavior Enhancement or Impediment).

Background Obesity prevention is an international public health priority. The prevalence of obesity and overweight is increasing in child populations throughout the world, impacting on short and long-term health. Obesity prevention strategies for children can change behaviour but efficacy in terms of preventing obesity remains poorly understood. Objectives To assess the effectiveness of interventions designed to prevent obesity in childhood through diet, physical activity and/or lifestyle and social support. Search strategy MEDLINE, PsycINFO, EMBASE, CINAHL and CENTRAL were searched from 1990 to February 2005. Non-English language papers were included and experts contacted. Selection criteria Randomised controlled trials and controlled clinical trials with minimum duration twelve weeks. Data collection and analysis Two reviewers independently extracted data and assessed study quality. Main results Twenty-two studies were included; ten long-term (at least 12 months) and twelve short-term (12 weeks to 12 months). Nineteen were school/preschool-based interventions, one was a community-based intervention targeting low-income families, and two were familybased interventions targeting non-obese children of obese or overweight parents. Six of the ten long-term studies combined dietary education and physical activity interventions; five resulted in no difference in overweight status between groups and one resulted in improvements for girls receiving the intervention, but not boys.
