The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility of a culturally adapted version of the program for Hispanic families, Papás Saludables Niños Saludables. Methods: A randomized waitlist controlled trial with a process evaluation was conducted to assess the feasibility of Papás Saludables Niños Saludables(NCT03532048). Fathers, their partner (mother), and one to three children were enrolled. A priori feasibility criteria were: (1) recruit 40 Hispanic fathers and their families in ≤4 months; (2) retain 80% of participants for pre- and postassessments; (3) maintain ≥70% attendance to the 10 sessions; (4) obtain 80% “excellent” or “good” satisfaction from participants; and (5) collect anthropometric and behavioral data on ≥75% of participants at baseline and follow-up. Results: The study enrolled 90% (n = 36) of the goal from one local pediatric clinic between May and August 2018; retained 75% of participants for postassessment; maintained 72% attendance among those who started the program; and achieved 100% “excellent/good” satisfaction ratings among the participating fathers and mothers. One hundred percent of participants had most anthropometric and behavioral data at baseline and 72% at follow-up. Conclusions: With oversampling and improvements in the recruitment strategies, Papás Saludables Niños Saludables is feasible for a randomized controlled clinical trial to address whether a father-targeted lifestyle program is efficacious among low-income Hispanic men and their children.]]> Wed 14 Dec 2022 16:03:05 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:4652 Wed 11 Apr 2018 16:14:19 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:4667 Wed 11 Apr 2018 15:23:27 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:14180 Wed 11 Apr 2018 15:03:10 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:13620 Wed 11 Apr 2018 14:53:43 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:4668 Wed 11 Apr 2018 14:31:43 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:19045 Wed 11 Apr 2018 12:30:20 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:12455 Wed 11 Apr 2018 11:49:23 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:10628 Wed 11 Apr 2018 11:31:55 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:21655 Wed 11 Apr 2018 11:28:32 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:6532 Wed 11 Apr 2018 11:23:30 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:12182 Wed 11 Apr 2018 09:56:24 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:14745 Wed 11 Apr 2018 09:30:00 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:39228 Wed 10 Aug 2022 08:45:34 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:30381 Wed 09 Feb 2022 15:55:43 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:36823 Wed 08 Jul 2020 14:09:42 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:42614 Wed 06 Mar 2024 15:15:48 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:41445 Wed 03 Aug 2022 14:54:20 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:54055 2 to lose weight and positively influence physical activity and dietary behaviors of their children. There is a need to better understand the broader impact of father-focused, healthy lifestyle programs from the perspectives of other family members. This qualitative study explored the impact of a HDHK by gathering insights from the family unit (fathers, mothers/partners and children). Fathers and children who participated in the HDHK dissemination trial from the Maitland local government area (New South Wales, Australia) (n = 33) and all mothers/partners of participating HDHK were invited to take part in this qualitative study. Eleven focus groups were undertaken with 25 fathers (41.9 ± 6.3 years, 32.4 ± 5.1 kg/m2), 15 mothers/partners’ (38.1 ± 6.6 years), and 41 children (51% male, 8.2 ± 2.1 years). Audio recordings were transcribed and analyzed by an independent researcher using a standard general inductive approach to qualitative analysis with thematic analysis applied. Three key themes emerged, demonstrating several personal and family program impacts. These included a positive impact on: (i) the father-child relationship, (ii) new family habits (e.g., lifestyle changes within the family unit) and (iii) fathers’ involvement and parenting practices (e.g., increase in fathers’ household responsibilities). Improving the knowledge and skills of fathers and children through evidence-based strategies may be a useful approach to strengthen their relationship, enhance parenting strategies, and optimize health behaviors. Notably, findings showed the changes made by the fathers and children positively impacted the wider family unit.]]> Tue 30 Jan 2024 13:58:30 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51139 Tue 22 Aug 2023 15:58:19 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:40869 Tue 19 Jul 2022 14:17:21 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:31993 Tue 17 Apr 2018 14:06:48 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:53802 Tue 16 Jan 2024 14:51:48 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:55150 Tue 16 Apr 2024 15:25:36 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:54239 Tue 13 Feb 2024 13:18:09 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:39906 SD) age: 41.4 (4.8) years) participated in semi-structured telephone interviews. Audio recordings were transcribed and analyzed by an independent researcher using a mixed inductive and deductive thematic approach. Seven themes were identified highlighting improvements in: (i) daughters’ social-emotional well-being, (ii) father involvement and engagement with their daughter, (iii) fathers’ parenting skills, (iv) the father–daughter relationship, (v) co-parenting, (vi) family relationship dynamics, and (vii) knowledge and understanding of gender stereotypes and gender bias. A number of strategies were also identified as to how the program improved these outcomes.

Conclusion:: The Run Daddy Run intervention was able to improve co-PA, MPA of fathers and LPA of children, and decreasing their SB. Inverse intervention effects were however found for MPA and VPA of children. These results are unique given their magnitude and clinical relevance. Targeting fathers together with their children might be a novel and potential intervention strategy to improve overall physical activity levels, however, further efforts should however be made to target children’s MPA and VPA. Last, replicating these findings in a randomized controlled trial (RCT) is recommended for future research.

Several barriers to father engagement surfaced, including lack of time due to work schedules, physically demanding jobs, concerns of caring for children without mother, fathers’ current fitness/weight, and lack of knowledge of how to eat more healthfully. The reading level of the HDHK materials was too high for some parents.

Methods: Linear mixed models estimated group-by-time effects for all dietary outcomes, measured by food frequency questionnaires. Cohen's d determined effect sizes, while correlation tests determined associations in father-child dietary intakes. Results: For children, medium group-by-time effects sizes were identified at 10 weeks for sodium intake (d = 0.38) and percentage energy from core foods (d = 0.43), energy-dense, nutrient-poor (EDNP) foods (d = 0.43) and prepacked snacks (d = 0.45). These findings were sustained at 9 months follow-up. For fathers, medium to large, group-by-time effect sizes were identified at 10 weeks for energy intake (d = 0.55), sodium intake (d = 0.64) and percentage energy from core foods (d = 0.49), EDNP foods (d = 0.49), and confectionary (d = 0.36). For all of these dietary variables, except sodium, effects were sustained at 9 months. Moderate to strong associations existed in father-child dietary intakes for some of the dietary variables. Conclusions: Although further research is required, this study provides preliminary support for targeting fathers as agents of change to improve dietary intakes in their preschool-aged children.]]> Fri 25 Mar 2022 15:52:33 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:48631 Fri 24 Mar 2023 10:35:38 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:40356 Fri 22 Jul 2022 15:05:21 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:40591 Fri 15 Jul 2022 11:00:15 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:32418 Fri 01 Jun 2018 12:37:12 AEST ]]>
