DESCRIPTION (provided by investigator): Five of the leading causes of death in the U.S. can be linked to diet and exercise. Evidence indicates that lifelong dietary patterns are typically established early and recent studies show positive associations between childhood diet and later cancers. However, children's diets often do not meet the minimum recommended requirements and many children do not engage in sufficient physical activity. Parents can have a major impact on their children's eating and exercise practices. Unfortunately, many parents lack the awareness, motivation and/or skills to ensure that their children are practicing healthful eating and exercise habits. The objective of this project is to develop and test a multimedia program for parents designed to promote healthful child dietary and exercise practices and reduce children's risk of cancer and other chronic diseases. In Phase I, the preliminary structure and content of the program will be developed and tested with parents. ISA will work with experts in the field of nutrition and child health to develop the program content and review the final prototype contents and structure. Finally, ISA will conduct interviews with workplaces, community wellness centers, and physicians to determine the program's commercial opportunities. In Phase II, the effectiveness of the program will be rigorously field tested with parents.

描述（调查员提供）：美国的五个主要死亡原因可以与饮食和运动有关。证据表明，终身饮食模式通常是早期建立的，最近的研究表明，儿童饮食与后来的癌症之间的积极关联。但是，儿童饮食通常不符合最低建议的要求，许多儿童没有进行足够的体育锻炼。父母可以对孩子的饮食和运动习惯产生重大影响。不幸的是，许多父母缺乏认识，动力和/或技能，以确保他们的孩子练习健康的饮食和运动习惯。 该项目的目的是针对旨在促进健康的儿童饮食和运动习惯的父母制定和测试一项多媒体计划，并降低儿童患癌症和其他慢性疾病的风险。在第一阶段，该计划的初步结构和内容将与父母一起开发和测试。 ISA将与营养和儿童健康领域的专家合作开发计划内容并查看最终的原型内容和结构。最后，ISA将对工作场所，社区健康中心和医生进行采访，以确定该计划的商业机会。在第二阶段，该计划的有效性将与父母进行严格的现场测试。
