HENRY: development, pilot and long‐term evaluation of a programme to help practitioners work more effectively with parents of babies and pre‐school children to prevent childhood obesity

Abstract

HENRY is an innovative approach that offers some promise in tackling obesity through training community and health practitioners to work more effectively with parents of very young children. It appears to have an effect on participants' personal lives as well as professional work. A large-scale long-term study would be required to ascertain if there is the desired impact on young children's lifestyles and risk of obesity.
