NOURISH‐T: Targeting caregivers to improve health behaviors in pediatric cancer survivors with obesity

Abstract: Results suggest that an intervention targeting parents is feasible and demonstrates preliminary effectiveness. NOURISH-T showed a longer term effect on caregivers, and, although shorter term effect, a positive impact on the PCS themselves. Implications for ways to improve NOURISH-T as an intervention for increasing healthy behaviors of PCS are discussed.

“…Sixteen of the 22 participating parents engaged in all four telephone sessions contributing to a high rate of intervention completion. Our early pilot data, together with evidence of parents receptivity to increasing occasions of vegetable and fruit providing to young survivors, support our hypothesis that exclusively targeting parents in a dietary intervention is an acceptable strategy to promote healthy eating habits in pediatric cancer survivors 33,20 …”

“…Given that most young survivors had an earlier diagnosis of ALL, which has an approximate treatment time of 2 years, 4 our preliminary data suggest that the optimal time to recruit families may be at least 2 years after treatment completion 20 . While lymphoid leukemias are among the most frequently diagnosed cancers in childhood 40 and often overrepresented in dietary interventions in this population, 17,20,38 evidence of unhealthy weight patterns 4,41 and suboptimal dietary intake 8,29,42 in young survivors of ALL indicates that this subgroup of young survivors may be the most appropriate target for a parent‐targeted dietary intervention 14 . Socioeconomic ranking may further influence study participation, with study respondents more likely to reside in geographical areas associated with a higher socioeconomic ranking compared with nonrespondents 18 .…”
