Home visitations for delivering an early childhood obesity intervention in Denver: parent and patient navigator perspectives.
This qualitative study explored parent and patient navigator perspectives of home visitation as part of a childhood obesity program in a low-income, largely Latino population. The investigators concluded that a home visitation program delivering a pediatric obesity prevention curriculum in Denver was convenient and held families accountable, but posed scheduling difficulties and raised safety concerns.

Systematic review of natural experiments for childhood obesity prevention and control.
This article reviews the effectiveness of population-level policies and programs from natural experiments for childhood obesity prevention. A search of PubMed, CINAHL, PsycINFO, and EconLit from 2000 to 2017 sought studies about policies evaluated by natural experiments reporting childhood BMI outcomes. Interventions were classified by environmental focus and stratified by setting; risk of bias was evaluated for each study. Most of the studies evaluated took place in a school setting. The most common environmental focus in any setting was food/beverage. All four of the studies that focused on food/beverage and physical activity in schools showed decreased prevalence of overweight/obesity in the subjects. BMI decreased in all four studies in both school and community settings. The authors note that while school-based policies focusing on both food/beverage and physical activity environments showed consistent improvement in BMI, most of these studies had high risk of bias. Improved methods for the evaluation of natural experiments for childhood obesity prevention are needed.
