“…Black and Hispanic mothers may need interventions to decrease sweetened beverage intake and portion control, 22 and all mothers, especially white mothers, may benefit from learning less controlling child feeding techniques. 16,18,23 Last, education for mothers regarding the importance of following these messages themselves, such as eating breakfast every day, should be emphasized. If children are not watching TV, then they are more active + ''They don't get enough exercise if they are in front of the TV.…”

“…This is consistent with previous research with low-income mothers. 2,15,16 When comparing groups, white mothers were more verbal about their value of control over their child's dietary intake. Of the three groups, Hispanic mothers tended to have the least knowledge or correct understanding of the relationship of the messages to a child's weight.…”

“…On the basis of other research, this may be to ensure that children eat the food that is served to them so mothers do not have to persuade their child to eat or waste food. 16,18 Low-income mothers, especially black and Hispanic mothers, may benefit from learning how to introduce new foods to their children 18 as well as age-appropriate portion sizes of foods.…”

“…16 Furthermore, low-income mothers reported having family meals even when they are eaten in front of a TV, 19 which has been associated with undesirable dietary habits. 20,21 Limitations of this study include its small sample, limited geographic variability, and self-reported height/weight from mothers.…”

Background: Mothers often serve as the ''gatekeepers'' of food and the eating experience for young children in the home. Children of different ethnic/racial groups have different obesity prevalence rates, but little is known about how mothers of these groups interpret or implement common childhood obesity prevention messages. The purpose of this mixed methods pilot study was to explore comprehension and implementation of common childhood obesity prevention messages and to identify feeding styles among low-income mothers of young children.Methods: White, black, and Hispanic low-income mothers (n = 30) of children ages 3-10 were recruited from Indiana. Mothers were interviewed individually regarding the perception and implementation of eight commonly used nutrition and/or physical activity messages. Other outcomes included the results of the Caregiver Feeding Styles Questionnaire and self-reported weight of mothers and child(ren). Interviews were analyzed using thematic analysis to find common themes among the different ethnic/racial groups.Results: Childhood obesity prevention messages were often interpreted or implemented differently among the different ethnic/ racial groups. For example, white mothers cited control as a means to manage a child's weight more often compared to the other racial/ethnic groups, whereas black and Hispanic mothers reported catering to a child's preference more frequently compared to white mothers.Conclusion: The pilot study provides evidence that it may be prudent to tailor nutrition messages to mothers of different ethnic/ racial backgrounds during nutrition education.

“…Eneli rejoint Satter en évoquant la division des responsabilités qu'elle explique sous le thème d'un modèle basé sur la confiance entre le parent et son enfant (Eneli et al, 2008). Par ailleurs, le concept de division des responsabilités ne fait guère l'unanimité chez les parents (White et al, 2011 Enfin, le parent doit réaliser le modèle qu'il représente pour son enfant. Ainsi, seulement 8,6 % des parents à l'étude ont mentionné exercer leur rôle de modèle en donnant l'exemple pour favoriser la saine alimentation de leur enfant.…”

Les attitudes et comportements alimentaires développés pendant la petite enfance influencent grandement la relation future du mangeur à l’égard des aliments. Le parent s’avère en ce sens des plus déterminants. Cette étude vise à connaître les pratiques observées et les attitudes adoptées par les parents québécois d’enfants d’âge préscolaire pour favoriser le « bien manger ». La collecte de données a été effectuée à l’aide de cartes postales distribuées dans les centres de la petite enfance du Québec pour ensuite être remises aux parents. L’analyse des réponses à la question ouverte figurant sur la carte postale a été réalisée sur la base du modèle des prises alimentaires de Jean-Pierre Poulain. 1257 cartes postales ont été retenues aux fins d’analyses. Les données recueillies permettent dans un premier temps de connaître la perception des parents quant à la notion de « manger bien ». Les notions de qualité et de quantité, diamétralement opposées, se démarquent. Cette étude permet de constater la variété des stratégies employées par les parents québécois au moment du repas. D’une grande pertinence pour la santé publique, ces données permettront de cibler les messages clés à promouvoir auprès de ces acteurs d’influence dans le développement des habitudes alimentaires des tout-petits.

Genetic Addiction Risk Score (GARS): Molecular Neurogenetic Evidence for Predisposition to Reward Deficiency Syndrome (RDS)

et al. 2014

We have published extensively on the neurogenetics of brain reward systems with reference to the genes related to dopaminergic function in particular. In 1996, we coined “Reward Deficiency Syndrome” (RDS), to portray behaviors found to have gene-based association with hypodopaminergic function. RDS as a useful concept has been embraced in many subsequent studies, to increase our understanding of Substance Use Disorder (SUD), addictions, and other obsessive, compulsive, and impulsive behaviors. Interestingly, albeit others, in one published study, we were able to describe lifetime RDS behaviors in a recovering addict (17 years sober) blindly by assessing resultant Genetic Addiction Risk Score (GARS™) data only. We hypothesize that genetic testing at an early age may be an effective preventive strategy to reduce or eliminate pathological substance and behavioral seeking activity. Here, we consider a select number of genes, their polymorphisms, and associated risks for RDS whereby, utilizing GWAS, there is evidence for convergence to reward candidate genes. The evidence presented serves as a plausible brain-print providing relevant genetic information that will reinforce targeted therapies, to improve recovery and prevent relapse on an individualized basis. The primary driver of RDS is a hypodopaminergic trait (genes) as well as epigenetic states (methylation and deacetylation on chromatin structure). We now have entered a new era in addiction medicine that embraces the neuroscience of addiction and RDS as a pathological condition in brain reward circuitry that calls for appropriate evidence-based therapy and early genetic diagnosis and that requires further intensive investigation.
