“…Caregiver reports of their childÕs food intake were measured by the Block Kids Food Screener (BKFS) (24,25). This food screener assesses childrenÕs intake by food group and reports outcomes in number of servings and, for some groups (sugar-sweetened beverages and total energy), in kilocalories consumed per day.…”

“…This instrument has been used in various studies to assess food group intake in younger children [55, 56] and in children of similar age as the ones included in this study [57, 58]. The screener is available in Spanish; it was translated and back-translated into Haitian-Creole and Portuguese according to approved protocol [50].…”

We explored the influence of immigrant mothers feeding style on their children’s fruit, vegetable and whole grain intake and how this relationship differed by mother’s time in the U.S. Baseline data were collected on mother-child (3–12 yrs.) dyads enrolled in Live Well (n=313), a community-based, participatory, randomized controlled lifestyle intervention (2008–2013). Socio-demographics, years of residence in the U.S., behavioral data, and responses to the Caregiver’s Feeding Styles Questionnaire (CFSQ) were obtained from the mother. Measured heights and weights were obtained for both mother and child. Child dietary intake was assessed using the Block Food Screener. Separate multiple linear regression models were run, adjusting for child and mother covariates. Interactions between feeding styles and years in the U.S. (<5 and ≥5 years), ethnicity, and child age were tested. Sixty-nine percent of mothers were overweight or obese, 46% of the children were overweight or obese. For mothers in the U.S. for <5 years, having a low demanding/high responsive style was associated with lower child intake of whole grains in adjusted models vs. a high demanding/high responsive style (p<0.05). This was not seen for mothers in the U.S. for ≥5 years. Thus, the influence of feeding style on dietary intake may change with length of time in the U.S. These hypotheses-generating findings call for future research to understand how broader socio-cultural factors influence the feeding dynamic among immigrants.

“…Food groups and portion sizes were selected for six age-and sex-specific categories. The Block Food Screener for ages 2-17 years has been used in various studies to assess food group intake in younger children (36) and in children of similar age as the ones included in the present study (37,38) . In the present study, the screener was completed by the children in small groups of five to ten with the assistance of a trained data collector.…”

Objective: To examine the relationship between intake of whole grains and BMI Z-score in rural children. Design: General linear models and logistic regression were used to examine the cross-sectional associations between whole grain intake and BMI Z-score, prevalence and odds ratios of overweight and obesity. Dietary intake was assessed using the Block Food Screener for ages 2-17 years. Children were classified into three categories according to servings of whole grain intake: Conclusions: Increasing the intake of whole grains as part of an overall healthy lifestyle may be beneficial for children to achieve and maintain a healthy weight.
