HOW TO MOTIVATE PARENTS TO PROMOTE INTAKE OF CALCIUM RICH FOODS AMONG EARLY
ADOLESCENTS (FROM W1003)
NON-TECHNICAL SUMMARY: Successful completion of the proposed Multistate Research project will have three
important immediate impacts. These impacts are all based on four parental factors shown to be associated with
intake of CRF by early adolescents in W-1003 (availability, role modeling, encouragement and expectations): 1)
Subgroups based on the four parental factors will be identified from data previously collected as part of W-1003. The
descriptive characteristics of these subgroups related to the four parental factors will serve as a basis for the
development of tailored messages to motivate parents to promote intake of CRF. 2) The underlying motivations
driving the four parental factors will be determined with population groups at risk for developing osteoporosis as older
adults - Asian, Hispanic and non-Hispanic whites, and 3) Messages based on the four parental factors will be
identified and pretested with selected subgroups of the target audience. Longer term impacts include the use of
messages which met evaluation criteria for potential relevance in future osteoporosis prevention programs for
parents. The results of the proposed project should provide a strong basis from which to compete for further funding.
OBJECTIVES: Objectives: 1. Segment parents into homogenous subgroups based on promotion of CRF to early
adolescents. 2. Explore motivations and/or perceived benefits and barriers underlying parental factors which include
making CRF available, encouraging intake of CRF, setting expectations for beverage consumption, and role modeling
intake of CRF to early adolescents. 3. Identify relevant messages and delivery methods that will motivate parents to
promote CRF to early adolescents. Outputs: 1) The project team along with marketing consultants will segment
parents based on survey data collected as part of W-1003 to identify subgroup characteristics for message tailoring.
Publications reporting results of this work will be prepared and submitted for publication. 2) Each state will collect
focus group and/or individual interview data from parents regarding underlying motivations driving parenting factors
associated with CRF intake of early adolescents and transcribe into verbatim transcripts. Interview data will be
evaluated and summarized by teams including researchers from several states. States will communicate through
conference calls and will prepare a summary report for the annual meeting. Publications reporting results of
qualitative work will be prepared and submitted for publication. 3) Each state will participate in message development
through conference calls and work at annual meetings. Each state will collect focus group and/or individual interview
data to test messages and strategies for relevance, acceptance, comprehension and potential impact. A summary
report will be prepared for the annual meeting. Publications reporting results of the qualitative formative evaluation
will be prepared and submitted for publication. 4) A report will define how the messages could be incorporated into
future parent educational interventions. 5) Each state will participate in a review of qualitative research methodology
at an annual meeting including the use of projective techniques/exercises to complement qualitative data collection
methods. States will communicate through conference calls and will prepare a summary report for the annual
meeting.
APPROACH: Milestones: Objective 1. Segment parents into homogenous subgroups based on promotion of CRF to
early adolescents. Timeline: October, 2008 - September 2009 Steps: Conduct segmentation analysis, interpret
results, and prepare narrative description of segments for use in message development, present overview of process
to multistate partners at the annual meeting Objective 2. Explore motivations and/or perceived benefits and barriers
underlying parental factors which include making CRF available, encouraging intake of CRF, setting expectations for
beverage consumption, and role modeling intake of CRF to early adolescents. Timeline: October, 2008- September,
2011 Steps: Conduct exploratory focus group interviews with parents of early adolescent Asian, Hispanic and non-
Hispanic white children, analyze and write manuscript(s). Objective 3. Identify relevant messages and delivery
methods that will motivate parents to promote CRF to early adolescents. Timeline: October, 2010- September, 2012
Steps: Develop messages based on preferred delivery methods and evaluation criteria. Timeline: October, 2013-
September, 2014 Steps: Conduct individual and focus group interviews with parents to pretest messages, analyze
results, revise messages as appropriate. Continue manuscript and grant proposal development. Plan future
intervention components in cooperation with state partners. Indiana will contribute to all three project objectives.

A DYADIC STUDY OF PATIENTS' AND SPOUSES' DAILY DIET QUALITY AND
DIABETES MANAGEMENT
PROGRESS: 2010/10 TO 2015/09
Target Audience:Our research was accepted for presentation at health and aging
focused conferences during this reporting period. The target audience reached by our
efforts includes the members and conference attendees of these organizations such as
The Gerontological Society of America. Changes/Problems: Nothing Reported What
opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided?
Throughout the project period, several undergraduate and graduate students have
gained experience with developing research ideas and presenting research findings
through involvement with our Relationships and Healthcare lab. How have the results
been disseminated to communities of interest?Our results have been disseminated to
communities of interest through conference presentations, book chapters, and peer-
reviewed journal articles across the project period. What do you plan to do during the
next reporting period to accomplish the goals? Nothing Reported
IMPACT: 2010/10 TO 2015/09
What was accomplished under these goals? We have contributed findings to the
literature on spouse involvement in chronic disease management of ill partners. Our
findings help to distinguish how spouses' interactions can sometimes facilitate
behavioral adherence of patients, but at other times, can interfere with patients'
adherence. Our findings also demonstrate that spouses' use of health-related control
can detract from the emotional well-being of the partner with diabetes, and from their
own well-being. Additionally, our work has addressed couples' interactions in the
medical setting and associations with their day-to-day health-related interactions. These
findings may inform healthcare professionals of available support for patients managing
chronic illness. These projects and related papers and presentations have provided pilot
work for the development of an intervention project designed to promote increases in
physical activity among older adult couples. The communication of couples about health
behaivor change is a central component of this physical activity intervention.
