Impact of Information Education on Childhood Obesity in Parents of Obese Children

The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of information education and communication strategies in addressing childhood obesity among parents of obese children. Childhood obesity is a growing public health concern, and parents play a crucial role in shaping their child's lifestyle habits and overall health. Therefore, providing parents with accurate and relevant information is essential in combating this issue.

The research will employ a quantitative approach, utilizing surveys and assessments to measure the impact of information education and communication interventions. Parents of obese children will be targeted as the primary participants. The study will focus on assessing changes in their knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors regarding nutrition, physical activity, and healthy lifestyle choices.

Information education and communication interventions will include interactive workshops, educational materials, and counseling sessions. These interventions will be designed to enhance parents' understanding of the causes and consequences of childhood obesity, as well as provide practical strategies to promote healthy eating habits and physical activity within the family.

The study will measure the effectiveness of these interventions by comparing pre- and post-intervention data, evaluating improvements in parents' knowledge levels, adoption of healthy behaviors, and perceptions regarding childhood obesity. Additionally, the research will explore the potential influence of socio-demographic factors on intervention outcomes.

The findings of this study will contribute to the existing literature on childhood obesity prevention and provide valuable insights into the effectiveness of information education and communication strategies. Ultimately, the results will inform future interventions and policies aimed at addressing childhood obesity by targeting parents as crucial agents of change.
