“…However, this observational finding is essentially what the emerging literature on using motivational interviewing describes. [37][38][39] The fact that interventions using motivational interviewing have demonstrated efficacy makes this parallel finding in normal weight children all the more interesting. Confidence and self-efficacy of parents have been described in the literature as important for sustained behavior change in childhood obesity, 40,41 but no study has identified or discussed the finding of intrinsic motivation in children.…”

Objective: Positive deviance methodology has been applied in the developing world to address childhood malnutrition and has potential for application to childhood obesity in the United States. We hypothesized that among children at high-risk for obesity, evaluating normal weight children will enable identification of positive outlier behaviors and practices.Methods: In a community at high-risk for obesity, a cross-sectional mixed-methods analysis was done of normal weight, overweight, and obese children, classified by BMI percentile. Parents were interviewed using a semistructured format in regard to their children's general health, feeding and activity practices, and perceptions of weight.Results: Interviews were conducted in 40 homes in the lower Rio Grande Valley in Texas with a largely Hispanic (87.5%) population. Demographics, including income, education, and food assistance use, did not vary between groups. Nearly all (93.8%) parents of normal weight children perceived their child to be lower than the median weight. Group differences were observed for reported juice and yogurt consumption. Differences in both emotional feeding behaviors and parents' internalization of reasons for healthy habits were identified as different between groups.Conclusions: We found subtle variations in reported feeding and activity practices by weight status among healthy children in a population at high risk for obesity. The behaviors and attitudes described were consistent with previous literature; however, the local strategies associated with a healthy weight are novel, potentially providing a basis for a specific intervention in this population.

“…The weight loss interventions also varied from providing a single intervention (n = 5): Dietary (Rosado, Arellano, Montemayor, García, & Caamaño, 2008 [two interventions]), or physical activity (Farpour-Lambert et al, 2009;Lazaar et al, 2007;Maddison et al, 2011). A majority of the studies (n = 14) used a combination of strategies: education and behavior (Wong & Cheng, 2013 (Carrel et al, 2005;Davis, Ventura, Cook, Gyllenhammer, & Gatto, 2011;Harder-Lauridsen et al, 2014); diet and education (Rosado et al, 2008); diet, physical activity, and behavioral changes (Adam, Westenhofer, Rudolphi, & Kraaibeek, 2009;Croker et al, 2012;Janicke et al, 2008;Korsten-Reck, Kromeyer-Hauschild, Wolfarth, Dickhuth, & Berg, 2005;Maddison et al, 2014;Reinehr, 2010;Satcher et al, 2010) (see Table S3, available with online version of this article).…”

“…More recently, MI has shown positive results in weight loss efforts across populations (Christie & Channon, 2013) and has had successful outcomes across the lifespan (Flattum, Friend, Neumark-Sztainer, & Story, 2009; Meybodi, Pourshrifi, Dastbaravarde, Rostami, & Saeedi, 2011; Wong & Cheng, 2013). Recent studies suggest that MI is effective even by telephone.…”

The purpose of this study was to describe the components and use of motivational interviewing (MI) within a behavior change intervention to promote healthful eating and family meals and prevent childhood obesity. The Healthy Home Offerings via the Mealtime Environment (HOME) Plus intervention was part of a two-arm randomized-controlled trial and included 81 families (8–12 year old children and their parents) in the intervention condition. The intervention included 10 monthly, 2-hour group sessions and 5 bimonthly motivational/goal-setting phone calls. Data were collected for intervention families only at each of the goal-setting calls and a behavior change assessment was administered at the 10th/final group session. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the MI call data and behavior assessment. Overall group attendance was high (68% attending > 7 sessions). Motivational/goal-setting phone calls were well accepted, with an 87% average completion rate. More than 85% of the time, families reported meeting their chosen goal between calls. Families completing the behavioral assessment reported the most change in having family meals more often and improving home food healthfulness. Researchers should use a combination of delivery methods using MI when implementing behavior change programs for families to promote goal setting and healthful eating within pediatric obesity interventions.

Abstract: This study indicates that motivational interviewing is a useful method for improving behaviour changes in eating, physical activity and weight loss for obese children, suggesting the benefits of such intervention.
