THE HEROS STUDY (HEALTHY ENVIRONMENTS STUDY) IS AN INTEGRATED RESEARCH, EXTENSION, AND EDUCATION PROJECT TARGETING PRESCHOOLERS AND THEIR FAMILIES WITH A LONG-TERM GOAL OF REDUCING CHILDHOOD OBESITY RISK (PROGRAM FOCUS AREA: CHILDHOOD OBESITY). IT ADDRESSES TWO CENTRAL ENVIRONMENTS FOR YOUNG CHILDREN, HOME AND PRESCHOOL, VIA DEVELOPMENTALLY APPROPRIATE, EVIDENCE-BASED, AND INNOVATIVE SOCIAL MARKETING STRATEGIES. BUILDING UPON OUR CURRENT LONGITUDINAL STUDY WITH PRESCHOOLERS (THE LEAP STUDY), HEROS SEEKS TO IMPACT YOUNG CHILDREN'S HEALTHY BEHAVIORS BY INCORPORATING OUR SUCCESSES IN IMPROVING WILLINGNESS TO TRY NEW FOODS AND MOTOR PERFORMANCE IN PRESCHOOL, AND AMPLIFYING THESE EFFECTS BY ADDING A POWERFUL FAMILY COMPONENT. WE WILL TARGET LOW INCOME AND LATINO FAMILIES LIVING IN RURAL COLORADO, WITH THE HIGHEST PREVALENCE OF OBESITY AND HEALTH DISPARITIES. THE PROJECT WILL DEVELOP TECHNOLOGY-BASED MOBILE APPLICATIONS TO IMPROVE PARENT-CHILD INTERACTIONS RELATED TO HEALTHY EATING AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY. IN A QUASI-EXPERIMENTAL CONTROLLED DESIGN, THE IMPACT OF THE ESTABLISHED FOOD FRIENDS PRESCHOOL PROGRAMS (CONTROL) AND THE COMBINED PRESCHOOL AND FAMILY-BASED PROGRAMS (INTERVENTION) WILL BE COMPARED TO DETERMINE EFFECTS ON: 1) CHILDREN'S WILLINGNESS TO TRY NEW FOODS AND DIETARY INTAKE; 2) CHILDREN'S MOTOR PERFORMANCE AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY; 3) QUALITY OF PARENT-CHILD INTERACTIONS RELATED TO EATING AND ACTIVITY; AND 4) THE HOME ENVIRONMENT. UNIVERSITY STUDENTS WILL GAIN VALUABLE RESEARCH EXPERIENCE AND FUTURE EDUCATORS, HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS AND EXTENSION AGENTS, WILL RECEIVE CHILDHOOD OBESITY PREVENTION TRAINING. THE PROJECT'S LONG TERM GOAL IS CONSISTENT WITH USDA'S GOAL OF IMPROVING THE NATION'S NUTRITION AND HEALTH BY PROMOTING THE DEVELOPMENT OF HEALTHY EATING AND ACTIVITY HABITS IN CHILDREN.

ECONOMIC AND RACIAL/ETHNIC DISPARITIES IN EARLY OBESITY ARE CONSEQUENTIAL BECAUSE THEY STRONGLY PREDICT ADULT OBESITY AND ASSOCIATED CO-MORBIDITIES, SUCH AS DIABETES AND CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE, AND CONTRIBUTE TO DECREASED SOCIOECONOMIC ACHIEVEMENT ACROSS THE LIFE-COURSE. PREGNANCY AND INFANCY REPRESENT CRITICAL PERIODS IN WHICH OBESITY-PROMOTING FEEDING STYLES AND PRACTICES DEVELOP. THE STARTING EARLY PROGRAM (STEP) WAS DESIGNED TO TARGET THESE PRACTICES SPECIFICALLY FOR LOW-INCOME FAMILIES AT HIGH RISK, AND TO DELIVER COMPREHENSIVE OBESITY PREVENTION FROM PREGNANCY THROUGH EARLY CHILDHOOD UTILIZING PRIMARY CARE. THE STEP INTERVENTION HAS SIGNIFICANTLY IMPROVED MATERNAL NUTRITION KNOWLEDGE AND CHILD FEEDING PRACTICES, AND SIGNIFICANTLY IMPROVED CHILD WEIGHT OUTCOMES AT AGE 2 YEARS. UNDERSTANDING PRENATAL AND EARLY LIFE PREDICTORS OF DIET, WEIGHT, ADIPOSITY, AND CARDIOVASCULAR HEALTH LATER IN CHILDHOOD AND WHETHER EARLY PREVENTIVE INTERVENTIONS SUCH AS STEP CAN IMPACT THESE OUTCOMES ISA CRITICAL NEXT STEP.THIS PROPOSAL IS AN INTEGRATED PROJECT INCLUDING RESEARCH TO STUDY PRENATAL AND EARLY LIFE PREDICTORS OF DIET, WEIGHT, ADIPOSITY, AND CARDIOVASCULAR HEALTH AND LONG-TERM INTERVENTION IMPACTS IN A UNIQUE COHORT OF SCHOOL-AGED CHILDREN. THE PROPOSAL INTEGRATES RESEARCH WITH EDUCATION OF FAMILIES, NUTRITION AND HEALTH SCIENCE TRAINEES AND PROVIDERS, AND EXTENSION INTO NYU GRADUATE AND UNDERGRADUATE CURRICULA, PRIMARY HEALTH CARE NETWORKS, COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS, CORNELL UNIVERSITY COOPERATIVE EXTENSION, AND THE AMERICAN ACADEMY OF PEDIATRICS. THE STEP COHORT IS THE ONLY EXISTING LARGE COHORT OF LOW-INCOME HISPANIC MOTHER-CHILD PAIRS FOLLOWED LONGITUDINALLY SINCE PREGNANCY. FINDINGS WILL FILL CRITICAL KNOWLEDGE GAPS REGARDING DISPARITIES IN OBESITY AND CARDIOVASCULAR RISK, BUILD EDUCATIONAL CAPACITY, AND EXTEND AND DISSEMINATE THE INNOVATIVE STEP PREVENTION APPROACH.
