Attention parents of children between the ages of 6 and 11 years old:

We live in a world that makes it very difficult to choose healthy food options and maintain an active lifestyle, and the Laboratory for the Study of Eating, Appearance, and Health (LEAH) understands how challenging it can be for parents to know if they are on the"right track" in keeping themselves and their family healthy. That is why LEAH is committed to conducting research to develop the most effective ways to help families in their efforts toward achieving a healthy lifestyle.

As part of a current research study, we are offering you the opportunity to receive free personalized feedback regarding your family's eating behavior, activity level, and other health-related behaviors.

This study will be conducted completely online, and you will be asked to complete several questionnaires related to eating behavior, activity level, and parenting. Participation will take approximately 60 minutes. You also will be asked to participate again in 30 days for an additional 60 minutes. To participate, your child should reside with you full-time and fall within the age range of 6-11 years old. Only one parent per family is eligible to participate.

The results of the study may help researchers, parents, physicians, and educators better understand the factors that help families adopt healthy lifestyle behaviors associated with decreased risk for the development of obesity.

All information obtained, including identities, will remain completely confidential. This study has been approved by University of Central Florida's Institutional Review Board (407-823-2901; IRB@ mail.ucf.edu) and will be conducted by Sharon Hayes (407-823-3578; shayes@knights.ucf.edu), a Clinical Psychology Doctoral Student, under the supervision of Dr. Stacey Tantleff Dunn (407-823-3578; sdunn@mail.ucf.edu), an Associate Professor of Psychology.
