Family wellness is defined as the intentional approach of pursuing a healthy state of being for the family, and is linked to children's future health status and health behaviors. In the U.S., racial and ethnic minorities have more negative health outcomes in the areas of chronic diseases or conditions such as cancer, diabetes, obesity, hypertension cardiovascular disease, HIV/AIDS, and infant mortality than their White peers. Literature suggests that African Americans have higher prevalence of hypertension, regardless of sex or educational status, higher hospitalization for strokes, and higher mortality rates from cardiovascular disease at all ages. The purpose of this dissertation is to: (1) use focus groups and quantitative surveys to examine the Family Time Initiative (FTI) program participants' general nutrition knowledge, perceptions and attitudes regarding nutrition, nutritional habits, culture, family relationships, and physical activity; and (2) utilizing that information, identify future policy initiatives to promote health and wellness in predominantly African American communities. FTI is a 10-week wellness intervention program that uses a family systems perspective and health promotion model to engage caregivers and children to participate in healthy culturally relevant activities. Based on the quantitative survey, participants reported a more adverse family environment based on their nutrition and physical activity behaviors, healthy family functioning, and low African self-consciousness. Participants discussed the challenges of scheduling (n=8), lack of adequate time (n=8), competing family members' eating practices, and availability of resources (n=3) for making healthy lifestyle choices (i.e., family meals, food choice, physical activity) for their families. Participants also discussed the shared responsibility of the family, school, and community in developing healthy environments and behaviors for children and families (n=7). Participants suggested that cultural identity and addressing socioeconomic factors in the school and community would help develop healthy families. Participants generally enjoyed participating in FTI and suggested that it be implemented in more communities and schools (n=2). Policy implications are suggested to shift towards culturally-relevant family-centered wellness programming that integrates multiple systems (i.e., education, judicial, and healthcare) and is implemented in schools.
