Problem and Its Significance. The incidence of childhood and adolescent obesity continues to increase at an alarming rate. According to the American Academy of Pediatricians (AAP, 2019), early death rates in adulthood have been linked to excess weight in the younger ages. This chronic health problem disproportionately affects minority children and adolescents, and interventions are needed to counter this negative trend. Purpose and Population, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome (PICOT) Question. This quality improvement project was developed as an initial step toward obesity prevention among children and adolescents. The education presented provided parents the guidelines for forestalling obesity among minority children using a family- and school-based approach. Without intervention, children and adolescents are at risk of developing serious and long-term health complications that are directly or indirectly linked to obesity (AAP, 2019). Methods. A pre- and post-education nutrition knowledge survey design was used with participating parents acting as their own control. Bilingual education was presented virtually for 5 weeks for parents of children at Azusa High School using an online forum. This mode of intervention was based on the PICOT question, "Among parents of children and adolescents who participate in the Azusa High School parents' forum, will a 1-hour weekly session providing introduction and understanding of food classification, food portion, food calories, how to read food labels, and preparation of healthy snacks for 5 weeks lead to increased knowledge and understanding of different kinds of healthy foods, what quantity to eat, and making better choices for the family?" The author hypothesized that nutrition education might lead to improved nutrition literacy, tendency to make healthier food choices, changing the family eating habits, and increased consumption of fruits and vegetables. At least 14 English speaking and 34 Spanish-speaking parents of high school students were recruited to participate in a free, 5-week, bilingual, virtual nutrition education program. The Nutrition Literacy Assessment Instrument (NLit) was used for online pre- and post-education survey to assess the parents' knowledge of nutrition before and after the education. Using the Harvard School of Public Health nutrition education curriculum, bilingual nutrition education was presented in an online parents' forum 1 hour weekly for 5 weeks. Data Analysis. Paired t-test in SPSS was used to analyze project data to determine if there was a significant difference between the means of the same group pre and post education. There was no significant pre/post difference in the Spanish language group (P = .307). Likewise for the English group, there was no significant difference noted between the pre- and post-intervention assessment (P = .114). Implications. The absence of statistically significant differences between the parents' knowledge of nutrition pre and post education in this project does not negate the importance of educating these parents on proper nutrition for their children. Education is necessary but not sufficient to produce the desired change.
