“…Previous multicomponent intervention studies that have reported positive effects on dietary intake were conducted over a longer timeframe ranging from ten weeks (56) to one year (15,29,30) . Either a delayed post-intervention assessment or repeating the intervention for an extended period, to provide greater time for changes in the home food environment (e.g.…”

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of a multicomponent intervention (MCI) on children’s dietary diversity and its impact pathway components of children’s food knowledge and healthy food preferences. Design: A six-week cluster randomised controlled trial with a MCI consisting of child nutrition education plus family engagement, through parental nutrition education, meal preparation and tasting was compared with two groups: single component intervention (SCI) of child nutrition education, and control, conducted during February to July 2018. Preschool centres were randomly assigned to one of the three arms. Children’s food knowledge, healthy food preferences and dietary diversity scores were collected. Intervention effects were analysed using a pre-post analysis and a difference-in-difference model. Setting: Fourteen preschool centres in an urban area of Kurunegala, Sri Lanka Participants: Child-parent dyads of children aged 4-6 years. Final analyses included 306 (for food knowledge and preferences) and 258 (for dietary diversity) dyads. Results: MCI significantly influenced the impact pathways to children’s dietary diversity by increasing children’s food knowledge and healthy food preferences scores by 3.76 and 2.79 (P<0.001) respectively, but not the dietary diversity score (P=0.603), compared to control arm. Relative to SCI, MCI significantly improved children’s food knowledge score by 1.10 (P<0.001), but no significant effects were noted for other outcome variables. Conclusion: Improved food knowledge and preferences require a positive food environment and time to develop into healthy eating behaviours. Research into dietary diversity should broaden to incorporate the contextual roles of the home and general food environments to more completely understand food choices of children.

“…In addition, various factors such as parents' feeding behavior, parenting practices, eating environment at home, and socioeconomic status can affect children's feeding behavior (Stage et al, 2018). It is stated that ensuring family participation in preschool nutrition education programs is effective in improving the knowledge and awareness of families as well as developing positive feeding behavior in children (Aktaç, Kızıltan, & Avcı, 2019). However, since there was no significant increase in the eating awareness of the mothers in our study, it is an expected result that there was no significant improvement in child feeding behavior.…”

This pretest-posttest randomized controlled, pilot study was conducted to determine the effect of nutrition education for mothers on eating awareness, child feeding behaviors and anthropometric measurements. It was conducted with 24 mothers with three to six-year-old children attending a public kindergarten. An eight-week education consisting of eight sessions on mother and child feeding was given to mothers in the intervention group. The data were collected using the Information Form, the Eating Awareness Scale, and the Behavioral Pediatric Feeding Assessment Scale and performing anthropometric measurements. After the education program, the eating awareness mean score of the mothers in the intervention group was higher than the control group; however, the increase was not statistically significant (p> 0.05). Prior to the education, the mean behavioral pediatric feeding assessment scale score of the intervention group was higher than that of the control group (p>0.05). There was no significant difference in Body Mass Index (BMI) of the mothers in the intervention and control groups (p> 0.05). In line with the results obtained from this pilot study, it is recommended to increase the effectiveness of education by integrating programs containing web-based, game-supported applications into education as well as nutrition education.
