Children in the US are on a pathway to live shorter lives due to the increased prevalence of lifestyle factors associated with obesity. Intervention programs implemented to reduce this trend do not adequately address the importance of parental involvement. The purpose of this study was to examine the relative effectiveness of a child-only versus a child-plus-parent nutritional education program in reducing risk factors associated with childhood obesity. The health belief model and the social ecological model served as the theoretical foundation of this study. Four risk factors associated with childhood obesity were examined: knowledge of nutrition, dietary behavior, physical activity behavior, and sense of self-efficacy. A modified classic experimental design was used to compare the relative effectiveness between the two nutritional education programs. A convenience sample of 176 second and third grade students from a school in a western US state participated in the study. Repeated-measure analysis of variance was used for data analysis. Results from the study show that nutrition knowledge, dietary habits, and self-efficacy all improved for participants in both nutritional education programs. Physical activities, however, did not change from pretest to posttest for participants in either program. There was no significant difference in the improvement of nutrition knowledge and dietary habits between the child-only group and the child-plus-parent group. Self-efficacy increased significantly for the child-plus-parent group over the child-only group. The implication for positive social change is that programs designed to increase youth self-efficacy could play a role in attenuating childhood obesity and its attendant societal costs.
