Social Ecological Barriers for Healthy Eating of Obese Children and Their Caregivers in Low-income Families in South Korea.

Social Ecological Barriers for Healthy Eating of Obese Children and Their Caregivers in Low-income Families in South Korea. Ecol Food Nutr. 2021 Jan 17;:1-17 Authors: Park J, Ten Hoor GA, Baek S, Baek S, Lee JY, Lee H Abstract In this qualitative study, the focus is on healthy eating in children from low-income families who visit a Community Child Care center (CCC) in South Korea. Barriers for healthy eating were identified using focus group interviews with low-income overweight and obese children and their caregivers and applying a social ecological model as well as the framework analysis for qualitative data. The need for theory- and evidence-based health promotion interventions is indicated, at the level of the family, but also at the level of collaboration among all stakeholders, as well as multi-level policy changes.
