What is Quantifying Parent Engagement in Fuel for Fun Identified Design Considerations and BMI Relationships about?

## Abstract BackgroundParent participation in children’s health interventions is insufficiently defined and measured. This project quantified and examined parent participation and its association with outcomes in an intervention focused on 4th graders and their families.MethodsIndices were developed to measure type (Parent Participation Profile; PPP) and intensity (Parent Engagement Intensity; PEI) of engagement in Fuel for Fun (FFF), an asymmetric school-and family-based intervention for 4th graders. Study arm-specific participation opportunities were catalogued and summed to calculate the PPP. An algorithm considered frequency, effort, convenience, and invasiveness of each activity to calculate PEI. Indices were standardized (0-100%) using study arm-specific divisors to address asymmetric engagement opportunities. Parents who completed \(\ge\)75% of the PPP were defined as Positive Deviants. Youth height and weight were measured. Youth BMI percentile change was compared with parent Positive Deviant status using general linear modeling with repeated measures that included the participation indices.ResultsOf 1435 youth, 777 (54%) had parent participation in at least one activity.
