“…Estos hallazgos encuentran asidero en estudios que indican que, si bien las prácticas de alimentación de las familias migrantes son moduladas por sus creencias, también reciben fuerte influencia del nivel socioeconómico alcanzado en la sociedad de destino (Ray, 2016;Brouckaert y Longman, 2018;Anupama, Nayak y Chakrabarty, 2020;Kengneson et al, 2021), de la disponibilidad de redes de apoyo (Ray, 2016; Bektas y Arkan, 2021), del acceso a los productos propios provenientes de sus países de origen a un precio accesible (Ray, 2016) y de la disponibilidad y seguridad alimentaria de los países en que se asientan (Kengneson et al, 2021).…”

“…De este modo, de los testimonios se desprenden algunos elementos comunes que dibujan las prácticas de alimentación de madres haitianas para sus hijos e hijas cimentadas en sus creencias, tradiciones, recursos y aprendizajes de sus lugares de origen y que las instan a mantener o reproducir su pertenencia originaria (Stefoni y Bonhomme, 2015,), y que además se entrelazan con los saberes y contextos de vida a los que acceden en la sociedad de destino, fuertemente modulados por el nivel socioeconómico alcanzado (Ferrer, Vitoria y Dalmau Serra, 2015), la seguridad y disponibilidad alimentaria (Kengneson et al, 2021) y la relación establecida con los sistemas sanitarios (Anupama, Nayak y Chakrabarty, 2020).…”

Se plantea como objetivo analizar, desde un enfoque intercultural, las prácticas de alimentación de los hijos e hijas de madres haitianas en Chile. La metodología correspondió a un estudio cualitativo, exploratorio e interpretativo, y se realizó con grupo de estudio compuesto por nueve madres haitianas que criaban a sus hijas e hijos menores de cuatro años, usuarios y usuarias del nivel primario público de salud y de educación preescolar en Chile. Se aplicaron entrevistas semiestructuradas, cuyos hallazgos se sometieron a un análisis temático que arrojó como resultado la teorización en torno a dos categorías de análisis: saberes, carencias e integración, y las tensiones con el sistema de salud. Se concluyó que las madres entrevistadas trenzan su cultura de origen, la disponibilidad alimentaria en el país, la aceptación de la cultura culinaria chilena y las tensiones de la relación con el sistema de salud, en la configuración de las prácticas de alimentación de sus hijos e hijas, las que a su vez se gestan en el hogar y transitan hacia el mundo público como manifestación política para la integración social.

“…No study, to the authors’ knowledge, has looked exclusively at the relationship between food parenting practices of Black immigrant mothers and its influence on their children’s nutritional behavior while informed by a theoretical model. Kengneson [19] conducted the first study to identify factors associated with the feeding practices of Black immigrant mothers living in Ottawa, Canada. They concluded by highlighting the need for more qualitative studies to better understand the influence of the feeding practices that Black immigrant mothers on their children’s dietary behavior, and weight status.…”

Background: Children of Black immigrant parents living in the US are at elevated risk of being overweight or obese, thus increasing their risks of morbidity and mortality as they age. Parents play a crucial role in shaping their children's nutrition through their food parenting practices. The Social Cognitive Theory (SCT) can explain Black immigrant mother’s FPP and their children’s dietary behavior. This study aimed to assess SCT’s constructs, personal (maternal knowledge, attitudes, beliefs) and environmental factors (acculturation) in relation to the behavioral factor (food parenting practices) among a sample of Black immigrant mothers living in Metro Atlanta, Georgia. Methods: Convenience sampling was employed to recruit 30 Black immigrant mothers who lived in seven Metro Atlanta, Georgia counties in the summer of 2022. Four focus group interviews were conducted over two weeks. The qualitative data analysis was thematic. Results: Focus group data analysis revealed seven major themes: knowledge, attitude, belief, modeling, acculturation, coercive control, and structure, and six subthemes. Mothers discussed being intentional about encouraging healthy foods and limiting unhealthy foods for their children. Overall, acculturation influenced mothers’ food parenting practices. Since migrating to the US, some mothers’ nutrition changed in positive (e.g., eating more fruits) and negative ways (e.g., snacking more) because of schedules, cost, and access. Children ate a mixed diet, the mother’s native diet and the American diet, and the former was considered healthier and affordable by most. Conclusion: This is the first study to look at the food parenting practices of Black immigrants in the US. By identifying key factors that influence the food parenting practices of this population and their children’s dietary habits, this study’s findings are useful to practitioners or researchers who work with this population on nutrition and obesity prevention.

“…Studies assessing parental child feeding practices have reported that controlling child feeding practices such as restriction and pressure to eat could interfere with the child’s ability to recognize internal hunger and satiety cues, which could eventually impact the child’s weight status [ 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 ]. In this regard, several cross-sectional and longitudinal studies have reported that parents who use restrictive feeding practices (i.e., restricting their children’s access to foods, particularly “unhealthy” foods) were more likely to have children with a higher body mass index [ 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 ]. Conversely, parental use of pressure to eat (i.e., pressuring their children to eat more food, typically at mealtimes) was predominately found in children with a lower BMI [ 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 ].…”

The Child Feeding Questionnaire (CFQ) is a well-established tool used to assess parental beliefs, attitudes, and child feeding practices, with a focus on childhood obesity proneness. To date, there is no French version of the CFQ, nor any Canadian studies assessing its construct validity. The aim of this study was to assess the construct validity and the reliability of a French version of the CFQ among Black mothers (n = 136) of school-aged children living in Ottawa (Canada). The final best fitting model included 7 factors, 20 items, and 1 error covariance. This model was retained as the final model as it (1) excluded two items with very low factor loadings; (2) had the lowest χ2, AIC, BIC, RMSEA, and SRMR values; and (3) had CFI and TLI values ≥ 0.95. Internal consistency ranged from poor to good; the restriction subscale had the lowest internal consistency, followed by the perceived responsibility, pressure to eat, perceive child weight, concern about child weight, and monitoring scales, respectively. Our results showed that a seven-factor model with minor modifications was best fitted to the current data. Future studies are needed to test the validity and reliability of the CFQ in other population groups and among fathers.
