Detaljeret beskrivelse
The broad, long term goal is to develop a reproducible nutrition and physical activity intervention which utilizes child care consultant nutrition specialists to reduce the risk of overweight among children in regulated out-of-home child care. The objectives are:
- To train Child Care Health consultants (CCHCs) to become specialists in nutrition consultation in child care such that they will increase their daily consultation activities on nutrition, physical activity, and childhood overweight,
- To increase child care staff and parental knowledge of and positive attitudes toward providing healthy foods, appropriate portions of foods, and appropriate levels of physical activity for young children in out-of-home child care centers.,
- To strengthen child care center policies, procedures, practices and behaviors, regarding providing healthy foods, appropriate portions of foods, and appropriate levels of physical activity for young children in out-of-home child care centers, and
- To improve dietary intake and levels of physical activity, and to prevent increases in overweight and the risk of overweight as determined by body mass indexes among children in out-of-home child care centers.

Change in Nutrition and Physical Activity Policies
Tidsramme: Baseline, Year 1, Year 2
|
Determine if the use of a Nurse Child Care Health Consultant changes nutrition and physical activity policies at child care centers using criteria based on the national standards identified from resources such as NAEYC accreditation guidelines, Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) policies and requirements, and the joint APHA/AAP publication Caring for our Children (American Academy of Pediatrics, American Public Health Association & National Resource Center for Health and Safety in Child Care, 2002; 1992).
If written policies were present, they were compared to the gold-standard criteria from the national resource material and assigned a rating of either none (no written policies), poor (written policies fail to meet either state regulatory criteria or national standards), adequate (meets state regulatory criteria but not all of the national standards), or excellent (meets all of the national criteria present).
