“…Also some intervention studies have focused on the physical home food environment. For example, interventions provided individuals with serving-size-appropriate dishware (42) or interventions encouraged participants to increase the in-home availability of healthy foods (42)(43)(44) or prevented the in-home availability of unhealthy foods (45) . Although the present study is descriptive in nature, the data may provide important reference information for future studies on home food environments.…”

Objective: The aim of the present study was to gain insight into (i) processed snackfood availability, (ii) processed snack-food salience and (iii) the size of dinnerware among households with overweight gatekeepers. Moreover, associations between gatekeepers' characteristics and in-home observations were determined. Design: A cross-sectional observation of home food environments was conducted as part of a baseline measurement of a larger study. Setting: Home food environments of overweight and obese gatekeepers in the Netherlands. Subjects: Household gatekeepers (n 278). Mean household size of the gatekeepers was 3·0 (SD 1·3) persons. Mean age of the gatekeepers was 45·7 (SD 9·2) years, 34·9 % were overweight and 65·1 % were obese. Of the gatekeepers, 20·9 % had a low level of education and 42·7 % had a high level of education. Results: In 70 % of the households, eight or more packages of processed snack foods were present. In 54 % of the households, processed snack foods were stored close to non-processed food items and in 78 % of households close to non-food items. In 33 % of the households, processed snack foods were visible in the kitchen and in 15 % of the households processed snack foods were visible in the living room. Of the dinnerware items, 14 % (plates), 57 % (glasses), 78 % (dessert bowls), 67 % (soup bowls) and 58 % (mugs) were larger than the reference norms of the Netherlands Nutrition Centre Foundation. Older gatekeepers used significantly smaller dinnerware than younger gatekeepers. Conclusions: Environmental factors endorsing overconsumption are commonly present in the home environments of overweight people and could lead to unplanned eating or passive overconsumption.

“…Some home visiting programs are universal, reaching all new parents, whereas many target families at high risk for poor health, development, and economic outcomes. 10 A scan of the literature reveals clinical trials of home visiting models focused on: birth outcomes, 11,12 immunization rates, 13 emergency department visits, 13 prenatal care, 14 breastfeeding, 15 accidental injury, 12,16 child maltreatment, 17 children' s dietary practices, 18 and lead levels. 19 Although models differ, most home visiting models have a structured protocol, materials, and goals and use a combination of direct information sharing or service provision and case management with referral to community resources.…”

Effectiveness of Home Visiting in Improving Child Health and Reducing Child Maltreatment

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act established the Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting Program, which provides $1.5 billion to states over 5 years for home visiting program models serving at-risk pregnant women and children from birth to age 5. The act stipulates that 75% of the funds must be used for programs with evidence of effectiveness based on rigorous evaluation research. Home Visiting Evidence of Effectiveness reviewed the home visiting research literature and provided an assessment of the evidence of effectiveness for program models that serve families with pregnant women and children from birth to age 5. METHODS: Home Visiting Evidence of Effectiveness included a systematic search and screening process, a review of the research quality, and an assessment of program effectiveness. Reviewers rated studies’ capacity to provide unbiased estimates of program impacts and determined whether a program met the Department of Health and Human Services’ criteria for an evidence-based model. RESULTS: As of July 2012, 32 models were reviewed, of which 12 met the Department of Health and Human Services criteria. Most of these models were shown to have favorable effects on child development. Other common favorable effects included health care usage and reductions in child maltreatment. Less common were favorable effects on birth outcomes. CONCLUSIONS: Home visiting is a promising way to serve families who may be difficult to engage in supportive services. Existing rigorous research indicates that home visiting has the potential for positive results among high-risk families, particularly on health care usage and child development.

“…(Scaglioni.,Salvioni and Galimberti.,2008;Hughes and Shewchuk 2012). The socio-economic status of the family, the meal samples, the supporting attitude for a healthy nutrition, mother's education, presentation of fruit in different styles, its availability at home and easy accessibility increase the consumption of fruit (Cullen et al, 2001;Cullen et al, 2003;Yeh et al, 2008;Haire-Joshu et al, 2008).…”

The aim of the current study was to investigate the relation between hedonic responses of families and preschool children given to fruit. Two hundred parents who had a child attending to a kindergarten in the districts of Kecioren and Mamak, in Ankara, Turkey were included in the research. The data were collected through a questionnaire. The ages of the children varied from 5 to 7. More than half of the mothers (55.5 %) were in their normal BMI (Body Mass Index), while more than half of the fathers (63.0 %) were overweight. Children and parents were found to like fruit in general sense. It was also found that as the score of liking fruit and the amount of consumed portion of parents increased, so did their children's. There was a positive relation between parents and their children (p<0.001). The score of liking fruit for girls was higher than that of boys (p=0.006). It is likely to say that girls like fruit more than boys.
