This book was released on 2009-10-28 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Depression is a widespread condition affecting approximately 7.5 million parents in the U.S. each year and may be putting at least 15 million children at risk for adverse health outcomes. Based on evidentiary studies, major depression in either parent can interfere with parenting quality and increase the risk of children developing mental, behavioral and social problems. Depression in Parents, Parenting, and Children highlights disparities in the prevalence, identification, treatment, and prevention of parental depression among different sociodemographic populations. It also outlines strategies for effective intervention and identifies the need for a more interdisciplinary approach that takes biological, psychological, behavioral, interpersonal, and social contexts into consideration. A major challenge to the effective management of parental depression is developing a treatment and prevention strategy that can be introduced within a two-generation framework, conducive for parents and their children. Thus far, both the federal and state response to the problem has been fragmented, poorly funded, and lacking proper oversight. This study examines options for widespread implementation of best practices as well as strategies that can be effective in diverse service settings for diverse populations of children and their families. The delivery of adequate screening and successful detection and treatment of a depressive illness and prevention of its effects on parenting and the health of children is a formidable challenge to modern health care systems. This study offers seven solid recommendations designed to increase awareness about and remove barriers to care for both the depressed adult and prevention of effects in the child. The report will be of particular interest to federal health officers, mental and behavioral health providers in diverse parts of health care delivery systems, health policy staff, state legislators, and the general public.
Book Synopsis Effect of a Family-based Weight Management Intervention on the Association Between Weight Loss and Children’s Quality of Life by : Mark Abbey-Lambertz
Download or read book Effect of a Family-based Weight Management Intervention on the Association Between Weight Loss and Children’s Quality of Life written by Mark Abbey-Lambertz and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Childhood obesity is associated with numerous morbidities, and effective interventions are needed to provide children and their parents the tools and skills they need to make healthier lifestyle choices. Children with obesity are more likely to have poorer health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and poorer weight-specific quality of life (WSQOL) compared to their peers. The impact of weight management interventions on children’s HRQOL and WSQOL is not fully understood. Whether and how weight loss changes parents’ and children’s perceptions of the children’s quality of life can provide insight into interventions’ effectiveness and highlight opportunities for adapting interventions.Objective: To determine the association between pediatric participants’ weight loss and change in their quality of life, specifically HRQOL and WSQOL, among participants enrolled in family-based behavioral weight management interventions. This study used a one-arm quasi-experimental design and combined data from two previous pediatric weight management intervention studies. Parents with overweight/obesity and their children ages 7 to 11 with overweight/obesity participated in a 20-week, family-based weight management intervention focused on increasing healthier lifestyle eating and activity behaviors. Child height, child weight, and child self-reported and parent proxy-reported HRQOL and WSQOL were collected. Child self-reported and parent proxy-reported HRQOL and WSQOL scores were compared. Multiple regression was used to assess the association between change in child BMI z-score and change in child HRQOL and WSQOL. Parent proxy-reported WSQOL was significantly lower than child self-reported WSQOL at all timepoints, but quality of life significantly increased with treatment. Change in child BMI z-score was significantly negatively associated with change in child self-reported total WSQOL (improvements in child weight status associated with improvements in weight-related quality of life) but not child self-reported total HRQOL. Change in child BMI z-score was also significantly negatively associated with parent proxy-reported HRQOL and WSQOL. The change in children’s self-reported quality of life does not track with changes in their weight status as much as changes in parents’ perceptions of child quality of life improvements. Parent perceptions of child HRQOL and WSQOL indicate significant improvement with intervention that is more linked to child weight status changes. Pediatric weight management interventions may need modification to show children how their weight loss is related to their improving quality of life.
Book Synopsis Childhood Obesity by : Denise E. Wilfley
Download or read book Childhood Obesity written by Denise E. Wilfley and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 63 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 47 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction: Pediatric overweight and obesity is a public health crisis, affecting one third of children and over two thirds of adults in the United States (US). The US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommends screening for obesity and offering intensive or specialty lifestyle intervention or referral. Recent analyses revealed a family-based social facilitation weight loss maintenance intervention delivered at high intensity ("SFM-High") resulted in significantly greater change in children's percent overweight at 1-year compared to lower intensity conditions (Wilfley et al., in preparation). Thus, the purpose of this dissertation is to conduct the first cost-effectiveness analysis of the recommended treatment strategy, SFM-High, compared to standard care for obesity (i.e., no treatment control, "NTC") with a lifetime horizon. It was hypothesized that SFM-High would be cost-effective for the treatment of obesity in children and parents. Methods: Using TreeAge software, two cost-effectiveness decision trees were built to evaluate the incremental cost effectiveness of SFM-High (N=59 parent-child dyads) compared to NTC for the treatment of obesity. The incremental costs of SFM-High compared to NTC were divided by the incremental effectiveness to estimate the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER), which provides a metric for the resources required (i.e., dollars) to obtain a unit of effectiveness (i.e., life years gained). If a treatment is considered dominant, it is less costly and more effective than the comparative strategy. Results: The ICER for treating children with SFM-High compared to NTC was $17,877 per life year gained. The ICER for treating adults with SFM-High compared to NTC was dominant. Approximating the cost-effectiveness of treating children and parents using the family-based SFM-High intervention showed that the ICERs for treating the child and treating the parent were dominant compared to NTC. Conclusions: Results of the present analyses show that the family-based SFM-High intervention is cost-saving for the treatment of obesity in children and parents. As such, the present results provide an important, initial quantification of the costs and benefits of obesity intervention, offer preliminary optimism regarding the cost savings of a family-based social-facilitation weight loss maintenance intervention approach, and indicate areas for future study.

Download or read book Parenting Matters written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2016-11-21 with total page 525 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Decades of research have demonstrated that the parent-child dyad and the environment of the familyâ€"which includes all primary caregiversâ€"are at the foundation of children's well- being and healthy development. From birth, children are learning and rely on parents and the other caregivers in their lives to protect and care for them. The impact of parents may never be greater than during the earliest years of life, when a child's brain is rapidly developing and when nearly all of her or his experiences are created and shaped by parents and the family environment. Parents help children build and refine their knowledge and skills, charting a trajectory for their health and well-being during childhood and beyond. The experience of parenting also impacts parents themselves. For instance, parenting can enrich and give focus to parents' lives; generate stress or calm; and create any number of emotions, including feelings of happiness, sadness, fulfillment, and anger. Parenting of young children today takes place in the context of significant ongoing developments. These include: a rapidly growing body of science on early childhood, increases in funding for programs and services for families, changing demographics of the U.S. population, and greater diversity of family structure. Additionally, parenting is increasingly being shaped by technology and increased access to information about parenting. Parenting Matters identifies parenting knowledge, attitudes, and practices associated with positive developmental outcomes in children ages 0-8; universal/preventive and targeted strategies used in a variety of settings that have been effective with parents of young children and that support the identified knowledge, attitudes, and practices; and barriers to and facilitators for parents' use of practices that lead to healthy child outcomes as well as their participation in effective programs and services. This report makes recommendations directed at an array of stakeholders, for promoting the wide-scale adoption of effective programs and services for parents and on areas that warrant further research to inform policy and practice. It is meant to serve as a roadmap for the future of parenting policy, research, and practice in the United States.

Book Synopsis Parent Predictors of Self-Monitoring and Attendance in Family-Based Pediatric Obesity Treatment by :

This book was released on 2016 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pediatric overweight and obesity status currently affects approximately 30% of children in the United States. Pediatric overweight and obese status is associated with significant physical health difficulties and psychological problems. The gold standard treatment, family-based treatment for pediatric obesity (FBT) has long-term success rates of only 30%. It is important to identify key variables to success in FBT. Research suggests that two main factors are associated with success in FBT: treatment attendance and dietary self-monitoring. The role of parents is integral to success in FBT. Thus this study assessed parent factors that are associated with FBT attendance and self-monitoring. One hundred and fifty parent-child dyads participated in a randomized controlled trial of FBT. Outcome variables included weekly attendance rates and weekly rates of self-monitoring for parents and children. Independent variables included parent depression, socioeconomic status, family ethno-racial minority status, consideration of future consequences, parent baseline motivation, and weekly parent motivation. Final models only included independent variables significantly correlated with outcome variables, in addition to a set of planned covariates (baseline body mass index, child depressive symptoms, child age). The analysis of attendance was time lagged such that motivation from the previous session predicted attendance at the subsequent session. Based on initial correlational analysis, a generalized linear mixed model approach assessed the time-varying relationship between parent weekly motivation, socioeconomic status, and family ethno-racial minority status with weekly attendance, weekly rates of parent self-monitoring, and weekly rates of child self-monitoring, respectively. Results indicated that higher parent weekly motivation was related to higher same week rates of child and parent self-monitoring. Family ethno-racial minority status was related to lower child self-monitoring over time. Higher socioeconomic status, lower child depressive symptoms, and higher parent motivation ratings were related to lower rates of attendance. Parent depression, baseline parent motivation, and consideration of future consequences were not related to any outcome variables. Enhancing treatment engagement for families with low parental motivation during treatment and families from ethno-racial minority backgrounds could be important in improving self-monitoring in FBT. Future studies evaluating factors related to attendance in FBT may be needed to fully understand attendance findings from this study. Further study of variables that showed no relationship with attendance and self-monitoring may be warranted in future studies.

Book Synopsis Decreasing Food Fussiness in Children with Obesity Leads to Positive Weight Outcomes in Family-based Treatment by : Jacqueline F. Hayes
Download or read book Decreasing Food Fussiness in Children with Obesity Leads to Positive Weight Outcomes in Family-based Treatment written by Jacqueline F. Hayes and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Food fussiness (FF), or the frequent rejection of both familiar and unfamiliar foods, is a common problem among children. Given its link to poor diet quality, higher FF may contribute to the onset and/or maintenance of childhood obesity; however, most literature concentrates on under- or normal-weight children. The current study aimed to examine the role of child FF in association with anthropometric and diet quality variables in children with obesity seeking family-based behavioral weight loss treatment (FBT). Further, change in FF was assessed in relation to FBT outcome, including whether change in diet variables mediated the relation between change in FF and change in weight. Children entering a 4-month multi-site trial utilizing FBT were assessed at baseline and post-treatment (N=170). At both time points, child height and weight were measured and used to calculate standardized Body Mass Index (zBMI). Parents also completed the FF subscale of the Child Eating Behavior Questionnaire (CEBQ) and three 24-hour dietary recalls. Healthy Eating Index-2005 (HEI) component and total scores, which measure diet quality in terms of conformance with federal guidelines, were calculated. At baseline, child FF was not associated with zBMI or overall diet quality, but was related to lower vegetable intake. Average child FF decreased following treatment and greater decreases in FF were associated with greater reductions in zBMI, improved overall diet quality, and increased fruit consumption. Overall diet quality change, but not fruit intake, mediated the relation between child FF change and zBMI change. Obesity treatment-seeking children with higher baseline FF demonstrate lower intake of healthy vegetables. FBT appears to reduce child FF, and reductions in FF may yield greater weight loss, seemingly through improved diet quality. Overall diet quality is a relevant target for influencing child weight, particularly in children high in FF.
Book Synopsis Early Childhood Obesity Prevention Policies by : Institute of Medicine
Download or read book Early Childhood Obesity Prevention Policies written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2011-10-31 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Childhood obesity is a serious health problem that has adverse and long-lasting consequences for individuals, families, and communities. The magnitude of the problem has increased dramatically during the last three decades and, despite some indications of a plateau in this growth, the numbers remain stubbornly high. Efforts to prevent childhood obesity to date have focused largely on school-aged children, with relatively little attention to children under age 5. However, there is a growing awareness that efforts to prevent childhood obesity must begin before children ever enter the school system. Early Childhood Obesity Prevention Policies reviews factors related to overweight and obese children from birth to age 5, with a focus on nutrition, physical activity, and sedentary behavior, and recommends policies that can alter children's environments to promote the maintenance of healthy weight. Because the first years of life are important to health and well-being throughout the life span, preventing obesity in infants and young children can contribute to reversing the epidemic of obesity in children and adults. The book recommends that health care providers make parents aware of their child's excess weight early. It also suggests that parents and child care providers keep children active throughout the day, provide them with healthy diets, limit screen time, and ensure children get adequate sleep. In addition to providing comprehensive solutions to tackle the problem of obesity in infants and young children, Early Childhood Obesity Prevention Policies identifies potential actions that could be taken to implement those recommendations. The recommendations can inform the decisions of state and local child care regulators, child care providers, health care providers, directors of federal and local child care and nutrition programs, and government officials at all levels.
