Product Description:

ABSTRACT Background/Objective: The authors present a novel concept analysis of low nutritional literacy in parents and its association with childhood obesity. Methods: The concept analysis method developed by Walker and Avant was followed and will provide the reader with a comprehensive understanding of nutritional literacy. Determinants of health such as income, education, and culture that disproportionally impact minorities are considered. Results: This paper will add to the resources health professionals can use to develop strategies that will aid in closing the gap in nutritional literacy. Discussion/Conclusions: Expanding research to examine the association between childhood obesity and low nutritional literacy among parents may provide insights and links to mitigating childhood obesity.
