“…The most common retrospective study design was systematic reviews (n=15/23); other retrospective study designs were multi-method study (n=2/23), secondary analysis (n=1/23), methodology study (n=1/23), exploratory study with content analysis (n=1/23), systematic assessment of mobile applications (n=1/23), intervention development (n=1/23), and scoping review (n=1/23). The median number of primary studies assessed in the studies classified as retrospectively applying a BCT taxonomy was 16 and ranged from one [18,19] to 64 [20]. One of the included studies applied a BCT taxonomy both prospectively and retrospectively as it involved adaption of an intervention to a new context [19].…”

“…Of those studies which used the BCTTv1 (n=15), the median number of BCTs reported per study was 5.6, ranging from 4.3 [26] to 9 [27] for published reports. The median number of BCTs reported when including unpublished materials was 17.5, ranging from 13.9 [18] to 45 [28] BCTs. Unpublished materials included items such as manuals for intervention delivery, participant handouts, phone scripts, transcriptions from intervention sessions, and unpublished intervention trial protocols.…”

Behaviour change technique (BCT) taxonomies provide one approach to unpack the complexity of childhood obesity prevention interventions. This scoping review sought to examine how BCT taxonomies have been applied to understand childhood obesity prevention interventions targeting children aged 12 years or under and/or their caregivers. A systematic search was conducted in Medline, Embase, PsycINFO, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, CINAHL and PROSPERO. Eligible studies included any study design that applied a BCT taxonomy and evaluated behavioural childhood obesity prevention interventions targeting children aged 12 years or under and/or their parents or caregivers. Sixty-three records, describing 54 discrete studies were included; 32 applied a BCT taxonomy prospectively (i.e., to design interventions) and 23 retrospectively (i.e., to assess interventions), 1 study did both. There was substantial variation in the methods used to apply BCT taxonomies and to report BCT-related methods and results. There was a paucity of detail reported in how BCTs were selected in studies applying BCT taxonomies prospectively. Our review provides important insight into the application of BCT taxonomies in childhood obesity prevention and several ongoing challenges, pointing to the need for best practice reporting guidance.

“…Additionally, they are more likely to experience asthma [7], depression, anxiety, and poor psychological well-being [8]. There is a critical need to identify behaviorally-based interventions that will maximize health of youth with severe obesity [9][10][11]. Yet, few studies have identified psychosocial and behavioral factors for severe obesity [12] that could inform such strategies.…”

Background: Psychological and behavioral correlates are considered important in the development and persistence of obesity in both adults and youth. This study aimed to identify such features in youth with severe obesity (BMI ≥ 120% of 95 th percentile of sex-specific BMI-forage) compared to those with overweight or non-severe obesity. Methods: Youth with BMI ≥ 85 th percentile were invited to participate in a prospective research registry where data was collected on attributes such as family characteristics, eating behaviors, dietary intake, physical activity, perception of health and mental well-being, and cardiometabolic parameters. Results: In a racially/ethnically diverse cohort of 105 youth (65% female, median age 16.1 years, range 4.62-25.5), 51% had severe obesity. The body fat percent increased with the higher levels of obesity. There were no differences in the self-reported frequency of intake of sugar sweetened beverages or fresh produce across the weight categories. However, the participants with severe obesity reported higher levels of emotional eating and eating when bored (p = 0.022), levels of stress (p = 0.013), engaged in fewer sports or organized activities (p = 0.044), and had suboptimal perception of health (p = 0.053). Asthma, depression and obstructive sleep apnea were more frequently reported in youth with severe obesity. The presence of abnormal HDL-C, HOMA-IR, hs-CRP and multiple cardiometabolic risk factors were more common among youth with severe obesity. Conclusions: Youth with severe obesity have identifiable differences in psychosocial and behavioral attributes that can be used to develop targeted intervention strategies to improve their health.

Background: Psychological and behavioral correlates are considered important in the development and persistence of obesity in both adults and youth. This study aimed to identify such features in youth with severe obesity (BMI ³ 120% of 95 th percentile of sex-specific BMI-for-age) compared to those with overweight or non-severe obesity.Methods: Youth with BMI ³ 85 th percentile were invited to participate in a prospective research registry where data was collected on attributes such as family characteristics, eating behaviors, dietary intake, physical activity, perception of health and mental well-being, and cardiometabolic parameters.

Understanding Outcomes in Behavior Change Interventions to Prevent Pediatric Obesity: The Role of Dose and Behavior Change Techniques

Abstract: To improve future interventions, greater attention should be paid to the intended and delivered session length, and efforts should be made to facilitate parents' implementation of intervention-recommended activities between sessions (ClinicalTrials.gov, No. NCT01084590).
