Outside‐of‐school time obesity prevention and treatment interventions in African American youth

et al. 2014

SummaryOutside-of-school time (OST; i.e. before/after-school hours, summer time), theory-based interventions are potential strategies for addressing increased obesity among African American youth. This review assessed interventions across multiple settings that took place during OST among African American youth aged 5-18 years old. Seven databases were searched for studies published prior to October 2013; 28 prevention and treatment interventions that assessed weight or related behaviours as a primary or secondary outcome were identified. Overall, these studies reported heterogeneous intervention length, theoretical frameworks, methodological quality, outcomes, cultural adaption and community engagement; the latter two attributes have been identified as potentially important intervention strategies when working with African Americans. Although not always significant, generally, outcomes were in the desired direction. When examining programmes by time of intervention (i.e. after-school, summer time, time not specified or multiple time periods), much of the variability remained, but some similarities emerged. After-school studies generally had a positive impact on physical activity, fruit/vegetable consumption and caloric intake, or body composition. The single summer time intervention showed a trend towards reduced body mass index. Overall findings suggest that after-school and summer programmes, alone or perhaps in combination, offer potential benefits for African American youth and could favourably influence diet and physical activity behaviour.

What works for obesity prevention and treatment in black Americans? Research directions

2014

SummaryObesity prevalence in black/African American children and adults of both sexes is high overall and compared with US whites. What we know, and do not know, about how to enhance the effectiveness of obesity prevention and treatment interventions in African Americans is the focus of the 10 articles in this special issue of Obesity Reviews. The evidence base is limited in quantity and quality and insufficient to provide clear guidance. With respect to children, there is relatively consistent, but not definitive support for prioritizing the systematic implementation and evaluation of child-focused interventions in pre-school and school settings and outside of school time. For adults or all ages, developing and refining e-health approaches and faith-based or other culturally and contextually relevant approaches, including translation of the Diabetes Prevention Program intervention to community settings is indicated. Major evidence gaps were identified with respect to interventions with black men and boys, ways to increase participation and retention of black adults in lifestyle behaviour change programmes, and studies of the impact of environmental and policy changes on eating and physical activity in black communities. Bold steps related to research funding priorities, research infrastructure and methodological guidelines are recommended to improve the quantity and quality of research in this domain.

“…Other studies also found that participants had favorable reactions to diverse activities, such as kickboxing, yoga, Pilates, and high-energy dance. 15,28,29 Giveaways geared toward individual PA practice, such as hula hoops and resistance bands, were appreciated by child participants, but the degree of their use at home is unknown. Providing incentives to promote PA has proven to be positively accepted in other studies.…”

Development and Feasibility of a Culturally Sensitive Cooking and Physical Activity Program Designed for Obese Hispanic Families

Objective: To determine whether a 10-week cooking and physical activity pilot intervention could be delivered in a health care setting. Development and feasibility of the program with a small sample size are explored. Methods: The MUNDO (Moviéndonos hacia Una Nutrición Divertida y Óptima) program was delivered weekly at a local primary care clinic. The curriculum included culturally sensitive cooking demonstrations, tastings, and organized physical activity sessions for children and their parents. Questionnaires and measurements were completed at baseline and completion of the study. Outcomes were feasibility, anthropometrics, and behavior change. Results: Four families were recruited, and 3 families attended 74% of the sessions. No significant changes in outcomes were reported. Families provided positive feedback about most aspects of the program. Conclusions: Future research is needed to understand how delivery of MUNDO could be optimized, within and beyond a clinic setting. Low-cost meal planning and cultural sensitivity of this program are unique features of MUNDO, which suggest that a larger trial with a greater number of participants and more rigorous recruitment would be warranted.
