Accomplishments

Objective 1: Segment parents into homogenous subgroups based on promotion of CRF to early adolescents. We identified three distinct parent subgroups based on parental factors associated with intake of CRF by early adolescents to serve as a basis for the development of tailored messages to motivate parents to promote intake of CRF. We conducted a quantitative segmentation study using questionnaire data from a cross-sectional convenience sample of 509 parents and their early adolescent children previously collected as part of W-1003 (years 2006-2007). The three parent CRF practice/perception segments included Dedicated-Milk Providers/Drinkers (49 %), Water Regulars (30 %) and Sweet-Drink-Permissive Parents (23 %). Dedicated-Milk Providers/Drinkers were somewhat older and more likely to be non-Hispanic White than other groups. Calcium intakes from all food sources, milk/dairy foods and milk only, and milk intakes, were higher among early adolescent children of Dedicated-Milk Providers/Drinkers compared with early adolescents of parents in other segments. Soda pop intakes were highest for early adolescents with parents in the Water Regulars group than other groups. Dedicated-Milk Providers/Drinkers scored higher on culture/tradition, health benefits and ease of use/convenience subscales and lower on a dairy/milk intolerance subscale and were more likely to report eating family dinners daily than parents in the other groups. The descriptive characteristics of these subgroups were presented to the W-2003 multistate partners at an annual meeting and used, in part, to inform the development of tailored messages to motivate parents to promote intake of CRF. We published these findings in a peer-reviewed publication as follows: Reicks M, Degeneffe D, Ghosh K, Bruhn C, Goodell S, Gunther C, Auld G, Ballejos M, Boushey C, Cluskey M, Edlefsen M, Misner S, Olson B, Richards R, Wong SS, Zaghhoul S. Parent calcium-rich-food practices/perceptions are associated with calcium intake among parents and their early adolescent children. Public Health Nutr. 2012;15(2):331-340. Objective 2: Explore motivations and/or perceived benefits and barriers underlying parental factors which include making CRF available, encouraging intake of CRF, setting expectations for beverage consumption, and role modeling intake of CRF to early adolescents. Eighteen Nominal Group Technique (NGT)/Focus Group (FG) sessions (n>6 participants in each session) and 5 FG only sessions (n<6 participants at each session) were conducted with Asian and Hispanic parents across 7 states (AZ, CA, HI, MN, OH, OR, UT), generating information about parental perceptions of motivators, benefits and barriers underlying factors in making calcium-rich foods (CRF) available, encouraging intake of CRF, setting expectations for beverage consumption, and role modeling intake of CRF to early adolescents. The total sample size was 156 and by script: availability (n=46); rules/expectations (n=52); role modeling (n=58). From the results of the NGT analysis, the top 3 perceived benefits were similar across parenting practices and race/ethnicity, and included: (1) providing emotional rewards for parents, (2) promoting childrens health, and (3) providing nutritional benefits for children. Facilitators and barriers of parental behaviors were identified through FG sessions. For setting expectations for children to consume calcium-rich beverages, the following barriers were identified: childrens dislike of CRF or preference for other beverages than milk; school, TV, or family member negatively influenced childrens food choices; inadequate financial resources; and parents unaware or have limited time to be concerned about childs diet. Parents expressed the following barriers in making CRF available: time or convenience; cost; availability and accessibility to CRF; and traditional cultural food patterns not including CRF. For role modeling intake of CRF, barriers identified by parents were: limited time to make balanced meals; limited financial resources; and childrens preferences for other foods besides CRF. Facilitators for parents setting expectations for children to consume CRF included decreasing competing factors that discourage children to consume CRF and helping children establish set routines or eating habits. For making CRF available, facilitators included combining CRF with other food items desirable to children, such as chocolate syrup; parents being knowledgeable about nutrition and eating CRF themselves; planning ahead; and establishing habits in the home. Facilitators for role modeling included making CRF easily accessible to children at home and start healthy habits with children when they are young. Collectively, the NGT and FG results were used as formative information about how messaging to parents should be developed, which was used to accomplish objective 3 of our project. Based on the NGT/FG findings, we currently have a paper under review in a peer-reviewed journal: Richards R, Reicks M, Wong SS, Gunther C, Cluskey M, Ballejos M, Bruhn C, Johnston NP, Misner S, Watters C. Identification of parental benefits derived from practices that promote intake of calcium-rich foods and beverages among early adolescent children. J Nutr Educ Behav., under review. Objective 3: Identify relevant messages and delivery methods that will motivate parents to promote CRF to early adolescents. Using data from previously conducted focus groups and with guidance from a professional marketing group, we prepared three creative briefs, one for each parent practice (availability, rules/expectations, role modeling), which served as the basis for designing the test messages. Test messages, which included both tag line phrases and accompanying graphics and rolled into the form of a poster, were developed by graphic design and marketing experts at Washington State University and Ohio State University. For each parent practice, examples of emotion- and fact-based tests messages were developed to test the differential effectiveness of each type of message. The group developed a protocol for message testing via individual interviews. Data collection occurred in 6 states: CA, HI, OH, OR, MN, UT. Results from the interviews were processed, synthesized and the messages that participants responded most favorably to were selected for use in future online survey study, which will allow quantification of responses to the messages by the target audience. Note: messages are currently undergoing revisions by a graphic arts/marketing specialist to make adjustments according to participant feedback. Once this process is complete, the survey study will be initiated.

Impacts

  1. Through this project, W-2003 Multistate partners gained a better understanding of attitudes and perceptions regarding parental practices associated with CRF intakes of early adolescents, which allowed for the development and testing of tailored messages. Information from this project may be used to design more effective osteoporosis prevention programs among families with early adolescents, and will serve as the basis for future research by this team.
