Methods: Baseline and 3-month dietary intake and social cognitive theory (SCT) constructs were collected in 51 children, mean age 9 years, 61% female. McNemar tests were used for comparison of proportions between categorical variables. Cohen's d was used to compare effect sizes across different measures. Results: Consumption of one or more fruit servings per day significantly increased from 41% to 67% (P = 0.02, d = 0.13) and there was a trend for increasing the weekly variety of fruit and vegetables. The SCT constructs assessed within the current study improved significantly (P < 0.05), with moderate to large effect sizes (d = 0.33-0.78). Conclusion: This study documents that a previous efficacious healthy lifestyle program can be adapted for use as an obesity prevention program addressing improvements in vegetable and fruit intakes in a low income community with a relatively high indigenous population.]]> Wed 11 Apr 2018 14:37:06 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:37259 Tue 15 Sep 2020 10:45:18 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:21017 bad/good anti-fat bias (ß=3.97, p=.002) and implicit bias on the stupid/smart scale (ß=2.983, p=.016) of the IAT. Beliefs that obese children were less healthy, more self-conscious, and less satisfied with themselves were strongly endorsed by the majority of participants. HPE specialists were found to have significantly lower expectations for obese children in regard to "reasoning" (mean difference=0.21, p=.0107) and "cooperation" skills (mean difference=0.25, p=.0354) compared to nonspecialist trainees. Conclusions: This study is the first to document the strong anti-fat bias of both preservice nonspecialist and HPE specialist teachers. It is also the first to find that preservice HPE specialist teachers have stronger anti-fat biases and differential expectations regarding particular abilities of obese children, compared to nonspecialists.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:50:32 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:18525 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:50:20 AEDT ]]>
