Background: Pacific Islanders, including the Marshallese, face higher rates of obesity and obesity-related chronic conditions. Early-life interventions targeting eating patterns during the first 1000 days of life are essential to promote proper nutrition and growth. Marshallese mothers and caregivers are important decision-makers for feeding practices that could affect childhood obesity rates in Marshallese children. However, little is known about dietary patterns and practices of Marshallese families from birth to 12 months. Culturally-adapted approaches using community-based assets and Pacific Islander cultural values/practices have demonstrated effectiveness in reducing obesity but have not been developed for children. Methods: This article describes the protocol for a study to culturally adapt the Centering Parenting intervention for Marshallese mothers in Arkansas. Conclusion: This will be the first study to culturally adapt and implement Centering Parenting with Marshallese women in the United States. This study will be an important first step to assess the feasibility and acceptability of an abbreviated parenting intervention to reduce childhood obesity in Marshallese communities. |
