[Preventing Obesity in Children: Which Factors Impede and Which Facilitate the Parental Access to Prevention Programmes?]. / Prävention kindlicher Adipositas: Was verhindert und erleichtert Eltern den Zugang zu Präventionsangeboten?

ABSTRACT

Preschool children of deprived obese parents are a risk group for the development of childhood obesity. The risk sensitiveness, perceived courses of action and barriers as well as motivational aspects of these patients for the participation in a prevention programme were analysed using focused interviews and questionnaires. Based upon the results, a target group-specific parent training was designed. A pilot evaluation study showed promising results.
