Camp NERF: methods of a theory-based nutrition education recreation and fitness program aimed at preventing unhealthy weight gain in underserved elementary children during summer months

et al. 2016

BackgroundThe number of obese children in the US remains high, which is problematic due to the mental, physical, and academic effects of obesity on child health. Data indicate that school-age children, particularly underserved children, experience unhealthy gains in BMI at a rate nearly twice as fast during the summer months. Few efforts have been directed at implementing evidence-based programming to prevent excess weight gain during the summer recess.MethodsCamp NERF is an 8-week, multi-component (nutrition, physical activity, and mental health), theory-based program for underserved school-age children in grades Kindergarten - 5th coupled with the USDA Summer Food Service Program. Twelve eligible elementary school sites will be randomized to one of the three programming groups: 1) Active Control (non-nutrition, physical activity, or mental health); 2) Standard Care (nutrition and physical activity); or 3) Enhanced Care (nutrition, physical activity, and mental health) programming. Anthropometric, behavioral, and psychosocial data will be collected from child-caregiver dyads pre- and post-intervention. Site-specific characteristics and process evaluation measures will also be collected.DiscussionThis is the first, evidence-based intervention to address the issue of weight gain during the summer months among underserved, school-aged children. Results from this study will provide researchers, practitioners, and public health professionals with insight on evidence-based programming to aid in childhood obesity prevention during this particular window of risk.Trial Registration NCT02908230/09-19-2016

“…Nutritional patterns are set in early childhood and have a high impact on nutritional status (Birch & Fisher, 1998) and the importance of social context has been mentioned in numerous studies (Contento, Williams, Michela, & Franklin, 2006;Croll, Neumark-Sztainer, & Story, 2001;Hamdan, Story, French, Fulkerson, & Nelson, 2005;Watt & Sheiham, 1997). Researchers like Birch and Fisher (1998) have postulated that eating behaviour is determined by exposure and accessibility, by behaviour of family and peers, by the physiological consequences of ingestion and by child feeding practices.…”

“…Also, given the ever growing popularity of the Internet among adolescents, it is also not surprising that most would prefer the Internet both as a channel for delivery and as a means of conducting surveys related to diet and nutrition. These results suggest that researchers conducting research in this population should consider using new technology; specifically, the Internet should be explored as a mode both for collecting dietary/health behavior data and as a means of implementing dietary and other health behavioral interventions 45-47. Although we did not query specifically on personal digital devices and text messaging it is possible that these may also be viable approaches to conducting nutrition research in this population.…”

Qualitative Study to Explore Prospect Theory and Message Framing and Diet and Cancer Prevention-Related Issues Among African American Adolescents

et al. 2010

Aims-To develop and test cancer prevention messages based on Prospect theory on motivation to improve dietary intake in African American adolescents, and to explore other salient factors that may inform dietary intervention design and implementation in this population.Methods-Semi-structured in-person qualitative interviews were conducted with 13 AfricanAmerican male and female adolescents, 12-16 years, in North Carolina. Prospect theory and message framing were used to guide the design of the four sets of diet-related messages related to cancer prevention: short-term gain-, long-term gain-, short-term loss-, and long-term loss-framed messages. Data were also collected on demographic, behavioral, and psychological factors; usual health behaviors; and preferences for intervention delivery.Results-The majority of respondents found the gain-framed, short-term messages most salient for both fruits/vegetables (8 (61.5%)), and fat consumption (7 (53.8%)). For fat consumption only, 2Corresponding Author who will address correspondence and request for reprints: Jessie A.

Please note that during the production process errors may be discovered which could affect the content, and all legal disclaimers that apply to the journal pertain. Conclusions-Researchers conducting dietary interventions and education initiatives and medical professionals who counsel African American adolescents should consider using Prospect Theory as a theoretical framework, should focus on gain-framed short-term messages regarding cancer prevention, and should employ the Internet for data collection and intervention and information delivery.
