Abstract
(type = abstract)
Programs using a Home Visitation model hold great promise for childhood obesity prevention, however, little is known about Home Visitation staff in relation to their psychographic characteristics and attitudes towards select parenting practices. Therefore, 55 Home Visitors (HV) were trained to recruit and retain families to participate in HomeStyles, a childhood obesity prevention program, disseminated by HV The HV completed an online survey to assess psychographic characteristics and attitudes towards select parenting practices. The HV were 100% non- nutrition professionals (paraprofessionals), 95% female, 41% white/36% Latina/20%Black/3% other, aged 33.98±6.47SD years, and 93% had completed at least some college. Psychographic scale scores indicated that the HV were friendly/ extroverted, flexible/ adaptable, able to learn, conscientious, motivated and interested in helping people. HV who successfully recruited families (n=15) had significantly higher education levels, were younger (31.00±8.26SD vs 39.90±8.23SD years), and had significantly higher psychographic scale scores for cultural awareness, need for cognition/enjoyment of thinking, disinhibited eating, and dietary restraint than those who had not recruited families (n=40). Attitudes toward parent feeding practices also differed significantly, with those who successfully recruited families were more likely to feel parents should avoid using rewards of food or non-food to get children to eat specific foods. Attitudes toward screen time practices also differed significantly. Those who successfully recruited families were more likely to feel parents should limit children’s TV viewing to programs made for kids and limit children’s exposure to TV advertisements. Identification of characteristics and learning needs associated with recruitment success of families into obesity prevention programs may aid in the development of effective training programs that strengthen attitudes towards weight- related parenting practices. Identification of characteristics may also be beneficial in the recruitment and hiring process of HV and other paraprofessional staff.
