Summary

Arkansas and Louisiana have among the highest rates of adult obesity in the United States at 38.7% and 38.6%, respectively. Prevention and intervention efforts are needed to reduce the number of children who will become obese adults and suffer the host of negative health consequences that accompany it. This proposal will develop and test strategies to stop the use of detrimental feeding practices by early childhood educators which promote unhealthy weight trajectories, inappropriate eating behaviors and poor dietary outcomes for children.

WISE Words

WISE Words is a co-designed, multicomponent deimplementation strategy package including 6 discrete strategies. Of these, three are delivered in a standard fashion: (1) dynamic training driven by improvisation methods, (2) a peer learning collaborative, and (3) external facilitation. The additional three are tailored to each educator's preferences and goals: (4) reminders, (5) educational materials, and (6) audit and feedback. Educators are supported to set and achieve goals for one feeding practice they want to stop and one they want to start.
