The Role of Women in the Prevention of Childhood Obesity Elena Bastida, Ph.D. Department of Health Promotion Florida International University Miami, Florida

Understanding the Changing Roles of women within the Family In order to understand the role of women in childhood obesity it behooves us to place women as daughters, mothers and grandmothers within the changing roles of women in society. In order to understand these changes it is important to embed these roles within the social structure.

Possible Topics for Discussion Social Structural Change (Social Determinants) In order to understand social determinants, we need to situate these within much broader changes in the social structure of modern societies. Social Structural Changes: Family (Life Course and reproductive) Economic (Major changes in economic production, advanced technology, increased consumption, changes in the structure of work, segmentation of labor markets, increased inclusion of women in the economy) Demographic Environmental/Economic: Increases in Levels of energy availability (fat and sugar availability)

Parallel Changes in the Normative Structure of Society As the Social Structure Changes, the cultural system also changes: modifies, adapts, improvises. Cultural norms evolve and the Life Course evolves as well. Notions of Family Regulation, Self Regulation also evolve. All these elements must be recognized when designing and implementing Interventions that aim at Behavior Modification, whether individual or group.

The Role of the Family in the Prevention of Childhood Obesity Family Regulatory Role: Is there a Breakdown that impedes regulation? Has the Status of Childhood Changed? Is there an increased in Childhood Autonomy?

Social Change and the Family Changes in Filial Norms Changes in Gender Norms Changes in Family Roles Changes in Gender Roles Changes in Parental Roles Changes in Children’s Roles
