Fit 5 Kids Screen Time Reduction Curriculum for Latino Preschoolers
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Obesity, Childhood, Physical Activity, Nutrition
In brief
Childhood obesity and metabolic risk are at record high levels in the US, and Latino children are at very high risk. This project will test an intervention called Fit 5 Kids, designed for Latino preschoolers to decrease their screen time in order to promote physical activity and healthy eating, and to prevent obesity. Ultimately, this line of research has the potential to provide an effective program to reduce risk of obesity for Latinos in the Head Start program and other preschool-based settings.
