“…The framework is often used to explain why individuals change or maintain specific health behaviors. It also can be used to guide development of culturally appropriate weight-loss materials and intervention strategies for weight loss (11)(12)(13)(14). HBM contains the following constructs: perceived susceptibility, perceived severity/seriousness, perceived benefits, perceived barriers, cues to action, and self-efficacy (14-17).…”

Background: Parental involvement has been identified as one of the most important factors affecting children's health. There has been limited investigation on nutrition education resources preferred by parents living in the Mississippi Delta, a region of the state with the highest rates for poverty and diet-related diseases. Understanding what type of nutrition education resources are currently used by parents and what type of resources parents would likely use, if made available, will be beneficial to health educators in developing and disseminating nutrition education resources and facilitate the greatest impact. Objective: Identifying nutrition education resources used by parents. Patients and Methods: Low-income parents of elementary school-aged children were surveyed on their 'current use' and 'likely use' of nutrition education resources. Survey packets were delivered to teachers in three elementary schools who then distributed the surveys to their students to deliver to their parents. Completed surveys were returned to the teacher who delivered them to the researchers. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize responses. Results: The most common nutrition education resources currently used by parents are nutrition facts labels (m = 3.58 ± SD 1.31), television shows (m = 3.24 ± SD 1.12), and healthy homework activities from their child's school (m = 3.18 ± SD 1.40). Resources seldom used by parents are video games (m = 1.49 ± SD 0.87), healthy cooking classes (m = 1.76 ± SD 1.03), and online discussion boards (m = 1.75 ± SD 1.01). The nutrition education resources parents would likely use are healthy homework activities (m = 4.21 ± SD 0.95) and information sent home from school (m = 4.15 ± SD 0.94). Parents reported they would least likely use video games (m = 1.95 ± SD 1.31), online discussion boards (m = 2.47 ± SD 1.34), and mobile phone applications (m = 2.69 ± SD 1.42). Conclusions: Identifying nutrition education resources currently being used and most likely to be used by parents will be beneficial to health educators when developing and implementing effective nutrition interventions with parents in the Mississippi Delta and other rural regions.

“…One study showed that a nutrition intervention with university staff, based on the HBM, led to improved nutrition knowledge and decreased intake of saturated fat and cholesterol (Abood, Ches, Black, & Feral, 2003). Two studies showed that the HBM was effective in weight management interventions with adults (Kelly, 2004;Lambert et al, 2005). The HBM has helped to predict heart healthy behavior in men (Mahalik & Burns, 2011), positive eating habits in college students (Deshpande, Basil, & Basil, 2009), and body mass index (BMI) and diet quality in an adult population (Sapp & Weng, 2007).…”

Although obesity rates are high in Appalachian Kentucky, few interventions have been developed for this population. The purpose of this study was to survey adults in the region about their needs and interest for a weight loss program. A telephone survey was conducted with 404 adults in Appalachian Kentucky. Sixty‐nine percent (69%) of respondents were overweight or obese. Nearly half (48%) of respondents reported a diagnosis of a chronic health condition. The most frequently mentioned barriers to weight loss were current eating habits, time, and current physical condition. The most frequently mentioned motivators for losing weight were health, appearance, and feeling better. Sixty‐eight percent (68%) of respondents were interested in losing weight. Women were more likely than men to have an accurate perception of their weight and a greater interest in losing weight.
