Home, family and socioeconomic influences on obesity-related behaviours [ 2011 - 2016 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Dr Adrian Cameron (Principal investigator)

Brief description Preventing obesity in children is a national health priority. Obesity promoting behaviours are established early in life, develop from childhood into adulthood, and are difficult to change. Parents play an important role in shaping the environments that either prevent or encourage obesity in children. This project aims to inform obesity prevention initiatives in Australian children and their families, and particularly among those at high risk due to their low socioeconomic position.
