Primary outcome
Changing dietary and physical activity behaviour in children The differences (between the intervention group and the control group) in changes in dietary and physical activity behaviour of children between baseline and t=1 and t=2. These dietary and physical activity behaviours are measured by questionnaires filled out by children and their parents. Variables are: having breakfast, eating fruit, eating vegetable, drinking sugar sweetened beverages, hours being physical active, hours of screen-time activities.
Secondary outcome
1. Authoritative parentingstyle (general parenting);
2. Parenting practices measured by: to set rules, modelling and monitoring of healthy eating and physical (in)activity;
3. Parental selfefficacy.
Background summary
The purpose of this cluster randomized controlled study is to investigate whether the dietary and physical activity behaviors of children between 9 and 12 years at the school participate in the intervention 'KERNgezond' is healthier if the parents of these children follow the E-learning “Making a healthy deal with your
child”, compared to children whose parents only receive a folder about healthy diet and physical activity.
In the E-learning we teach parents how they can encourage their child to have healthier dietary and physical activity behaviors and solving conflicts about these topics by using parenting skills and practices.
Study objective
We hypothesized that 5 and 12 months after baseline measurements were collected, the children of parents
who received the e-learning program would i) have a healthier diet (e.g., they eat more vegetables and fruits, have breakfast more often, and drink fewer sweetened
beverages); ii) be less sedentary (e.g., will engage in a lower amount of screen-viewing time); and iii) have a
higher level of physical activity compared to both their baseline values and the control group.
Other objectives of the e-learning program include strengthening parenting styles (parents use more often an authoritive parenting style), improving parenting practices (parents sets more rules regarding healthy diet and physical activity, are better role models and monitor better dietary and physical activity behaviours of their child), and increasing parental self-efficacy.
Study design
1. Baseline mearurements September-October 2015;
2. End of the intervention March-April 2016;
3. 6 Months after the intervention: September 2016.
