DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Dr. Darcy Thompson is a general pediatrician with fellowship training in epidemiology and research methods. Her career goal is to conduct interdisciplinary research that identifies modifiable family environmental factors related to the development of overweight in Latino children. Her immediate goal is to become an independent investigator who has the knowledge, skills, and preliminary research necessary to conduct interdisciplinary investigations focused on understanding parenting practices regarding TV viewing, also called parental mediation of TV viewing, in relation to overweight in Latino preschoolers. TV viewing is associated with overweight, however, the role of parental mediation of TV viewing, e.g. having rules about child TV viewing, in relation to childhood overweight has received little attention, especially in Latino families. Parental mediation of TV viewing and its relation with overweight may differ in Latino families due to cultural and social factors. This proposal outlines 3 studies with 4 aims. The 1st study analyzes an existing database to evaluate the extent to which TV viewing in low-income Latino children varies by country of origin and acculturation and if TV viewing is associated with parental mediation of TV viewing (AIM 1); and to determine the relationship between parental mediation of TV viewing, child TV viewing, and BMI in low-income Latino families over time (AIM 2). The 2nd study uses qualitative methods to develop a tool to measure parental beliefs about TV viewing and parental mediation of TV viewing in low-income Mexican-American mothers of preschoolers (AIM 3). In the 3rd study, Dr. Thompson will conduct a clinic based study of low-income Mexican-American mothers of preschoolers to evaluate the psychometrics of new instruments and determine associations among parental beliefs and mediation of TV viewing, child TV viewing, child diet and BMI (AIM 4). To conduct this work, Dr. Thompson will acquire knowledge on parenting and methodological issues of media and obesity research. She will develop skills in conducting culturally informed research and using advanced analytical techniques. Training and research will take place at Johns Hopkins University with guidance from a diverse and strong team of mentors. PUBLIC RELEVANCE: Understanding contextual influences on the development of overweight in low-income Latino preschoolers is important to the design of evidence-based culturally competent interventions. This proposed work will inform the design of overweight interventions targeting Latino preschoolers by enhancing our understanding of the role of parental mediation of TV viewing in the development of overweight.

描述（由申请人提供）：达西·汤普森（Darcy Thompson）博士是一名普通儿科医生，并在流行病学和研究方法方面进行了研究金培训。她的职业目标是进行跨学科研究，以确定与拉丁裔儿童超重发展有关的可修改家庭环境因素。她的近期目标是成为一名独立研究者，他具有进行跨学科调查所必需的知识，技能和初步研究，该研究的重点是了解有关电视观看的育儿实践，也称为与拉丁裔学龄前儿童超重有关的父母的电视观看调解。电视观看与超重有关，但是，电视观看的父母调解的作用，例如关于观看儿童电视的规则，与童年的超重有关，尤其是在拉丁裔家庭中。由于文化和社会因素，育儿的电视观看及其与超重的关系可能在拉丁裔家庭中有所不同。该提案概述了3项研究，其目标为4个。第一项研究分析了现有数据库，以评估低收入拉丁裔儿童中电视观看的程度随起源和适应性国家而变化，以及电视观看与父母的电视观看调解有关（AIM 1）；并确定在低收入拉丁裔家庭中的电视观看，儿童电视观看和BMI的父母调解之间的关系（AIM 2）。第二项研究使用定性方法来开发一种工具来衡量父母关于电视观看和父母在墨西哥裔墨西哥裔美国人母亲中电视观看的信念（AIM 3）。在第三次研究中，汤普森博士将对学龄前儿童的低收入墨西哥裔美国母亲进行基于诊所的研究，以评估新工具的心理计量学，并确定父母信仰和电视观看，儿童电视观看，儿童饮食，儿童饮食和BMI的调解之间的关联（AIM 4）。为了进行这项工作，汤普森博士将获得有关媒体和肥胖研究的育儿和方法论问题的知识。她将发展技能，以进行文化知识的研究并使用先进的分析技术。培训和研究将在约翰·霍普金斯大学（Johns Hopkins University）的指导下在约翰·霍普金斯大学（Johns Hopkins University）举行。 公众相关性：了解情境对低收入拉丁裔学龄前儿童超重发展的影响对于设计基于证据的文化胜任干预措施的重要性。这项拟议的工作将通过增强我们对父母对电视观看在超重发展中的角色的理解来为针对拉丁裔学龄前儿童的超重干预措施的设计提供信息。
