DOI: https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1467-9493.2009.00376.xDrawing on nation-wide dietary data from the Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS) as well as data from Canadian Family Studies (the Guelph Family Health Study), I am leading several analyses exploring factors associated with dietary quality among Canadian children. This work lays the foundation to inform future interventions aimed at ameliorating the dietary quality of Canadian children.
In recent years, the BC Government has acknowledged the negative influence that physical inactivity and obesity have on the health of children and youth in Canada. We are interested in exploring the impact that the implementation of the Active Play Standards and the use of the intervention materials have on the environment, polices, and practices in childcare settings, as well as on the health behaviours in children.
This is a multicentre, cluster-randomised, parallel-group, superiority trial of a multifaceted community-family-mother-child intervention to prevent childhood overweight and obesity.
