Effects of a Pediatric Weight Management Intervention on Parental Stress.

ABSTRACT: Background: Few studies have examined the associations of pediatric weight management interventions (PWMIs) with reduction in parental stress. We sought to examine the extent to which a PWMI reduces parental stress and whether changes in parental healthful feeding practices and support for physical activity are associated with reduction in parental stress. Methods: We analyzed data from the Clinic and Community Approaches to Healthy Weight randomized controlled trial (RCT). Parental stress change over 12 months was analyzed using a multivariate mixed linear model. We then examined associations of changes in healthful feeding practices and support for physical activity over 12 months with changes in stress using a multivariate linear model. Results:
