Together We Inspire Smart Eating: A preschool curriculum for obesity prevention in low-income families

Description:

The intervention, WISE, was designed to establish healthy early eating habits for children 3 to 8 years old. The intervention includes 3 key components: (a) a classroom curriculum, (b) educator training, and (c) parent education using materials for outreach. This report presents a brief summary of the development of the components of WISE. Change in nutrition knowledge of educators across time was examined. Sustainable knowledge is critical given that knowledge and awareness are necessary prerequisites for adoption of new behaviors. This report provides the foundation for later, more detailed process and impact evaluations of WISE. All activities in the project were approved by the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences institutional review board. (author abstract)
