Brief Summary:
The purpose of Mobile Apps for Preschool Parents MAPP Study is to test the effectiveness of two mobile applications for parents of preschool aged children 1 an app focused on child and family nutrition and wellness and 2 an app focused on parents reading to their children
Detailed Description:
The Mobile Apps for Preschool Parents MAPP Study addresses an important gap in the scientific literature which is the need to evaluate the use of parent-targeted guided goal-setting for childhood obesity risk reduction via a mobile application specifically for parents of preschool-aged children for early intervention
Obesity is a leading cause of multiple chronic diseases including 13 types of cancer heart disease stroke and type II diabetes Major behavioral determinants of obesity are also independent risk factors for these chronic diseases including unhealthy diet lack of physical activity and poor sleep quality Childhood obesity increases risk for adult obesity and early onset of conditions such as high blood pressure high cholesterol asthma sleep apnea and joint problems Childhood obesity disproportionately affects children of lower socioeconomic status racialethnic minority groups and rural areas thus exacerbating and contributing to health disparities among obesity-related health conditions Children in low-income families that qualify for income-based public assistance programs represent a population that is at high risk for obesity These programs include the Women Infants and Children WIC Supplemental Nutrition Program Head Start preschool child care centers the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program SNAP Temporary Assistance for Needy Families TANF and Medicaid
With the Attention Control Arm the MAPP Study will also contribute valuable information about the effectiveness of using a mobile application with parent-targeted guided goal-setting for reading to preschool-aged children Previous studies have shown that adults reading to children is beneficial for child learning and development
All parentsguardians both samples and both arms will be asked to use the respective apps for an 8-week intervention period The primary outcome will be measured in the Baseline Survey and a Follow Up Survey after completing the 8-week intervention period After completion of the Follow Up Survey parentsguardians will be given the option to download and use the other app if they are interested ie information about the CHEW app for the Control Arm and information about the Control app for the Intervention Arm For both the Intervention Arm and those who choose to download the CHEW app in the Control Arm usage of the CHEW app ie app analytics will be tracked for up to 20 weeks after the date of study enrollment
