Parent perceptions of restrictive feeding on the relationship between youth BMI z-score and weight control behavior use in African American youth: A mediational study.

CONCLUSION: Results from the current study suggest parent restrictive feeding in African American populations may encourage health promoting youth weight management behaviors. Additional research is warranted to investigate how cultural factors may impact the relationships between parent restrictive feeding practices and youth weight control behaviors as there may be important clinical implications when working with diverse populations.
