- W330860852 abstract "The Effects of Barriers Toward Fighting Childhood Obesity Within Head Start by Vanessa Chaney MBA, University of Phoenix, 2005 BA, University of North Carolina at Charlotte, 2002 Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Public Health Walden University February 2015 Abstract Childhood obesity is associated with significant morbidity and mortality and poses a health care burden. Child care facilities serve at the forefront in fighting childhood obesity among preschoolers. Since 2009, a significant shift has occurred in studying child care settings among children aged 3–5 in North Carolina and South Carolina in response to the rising rates of obesity in this population. Some of the hypothesized determinants of childhood obesity among preschoolers in North Carolina and South Carolina are outdoor activity, staff behavior, center’s size and location. The purpose of this study was to investigate if significant relationships exist between childhood obesity and each one of these variables. This study was conducted within the framework of social cognitive theory within the contexts of the process of self-efficacy for realizing goals. A quantitative correlational design was used, while data were collected through Survey Monkey administering a closed end survey. Multiple linear regression was used to examine the associations between childhood obesity and center size, location, outdoor activity and staff behavior. The Power analysis determined total of 110 participants (N=100) who worked in North and South Carolina Head Start facilities of preschoolChildhood obesity is associated with significant morbidity and mortality and poses a health care burden.

Multiple linear regression was used to examine the associations between childhood obesity and center size, location, outdoor activity and staff behavior. The Power analysis determined total of 110 participants (N=100) who worked in North and South Carolina Head Start facilities of preschool children aged 3–5. The multiple regression indicated significant contributions of the center size (β = .32, p = .001), the location (β = -.28, p = .002), the outdoor activity (β = .25, p = .005), and staff behavior (β = .27, p = .008). Therefore, the overall null hypotheses were rejected. This study may help to effect positive social change through identifying the important barriers to minimizing the risk of obesity among preschool children, which in turn would help to inform policy for developing and implementing strategies to reduce risks of preschoolers' obesity.

It is through these blessings that I have been able to complete this educational journey. I pray as I have been blessed abundantly, that I may be a blessing to others with the knowledge I have acquired through education. While this journey was a long one, I was fortunate to have wonderful people helping me along the way. I thank my committee chairperson Dr. Ji Shen and committee member Dr. Cheryl Cullen. It is through their dedication that I navigated successfully in completing my dissertation. Through the mentoring efforts of Tom Granoff, I was able to understand how to make data useful. I would also like to thank Toni Williams for editing my dissertation, while offering encouraging tips on how to write more concisely. Lastly, I would like to thank my family for all of their love and support over the many years as I completed my doctoral degree. My greatest regret is that my grandmother, Mrs. Edna L. Bright did not live to see my accomplishment." @default.
