Participant characteristics and intervention processes associated with reductions in television viewing in the High Five for Kids study . OBJECTIVE To evaluate the High Five for Kids intervention effect on television within subgroups , examine participant characteristics associated with process measures and assess perceived helpfulness of television intervention components . METHOD High Five ( randomized controlled trial of 445 overweight/obese 2-7 year-olds in Massachusetts [ 2006-2008 ] ) reduced television by 0.36 h/day . 1-year effects on television viewing , stratified by subgroup , were assessed using linear regression . Among intervention participants ( n=253 ) , associations of intervention component helpfulness with television reduction were examined using linear regression and associations of participant characteristics with processes linked to television reduction ( choosing television and completing intervention visits ) were examined using logistic regression . RESULTS High Five reduced television across subgroups . Parents of Latino ( versus white ) children had lower odds of completing ≥2 study visits ( Odds Ratio : 0.39 [ 95 % Confidence Interval : 0.18 , 0.84 ] ) . Parents of black ( versus white ) children had higher odds of choosing television ( Odds Ratio : 2.23 [ 95 % Confidence Interval : 1.08 , 4.59 ] ) , as did parents of obese ( versus overweight ) children and children watching ≥2 h/day ( versus < 2 ) at baseline . Greater perceived helpfulness was associated with greater television reduction . CONCLUSION Clinic-based motivational interviewing reduces television viewing in children . Low cost education approaches ( e.g. , printed materials ) may be well-received . Parents of children at higher obesity risk could be more motivated to reduce television .
