Digital and Blended Lifestyle Interventions for Preschool-Aged Children and Families With a Low Socioeconomic Position and the General Population: Scoping Review
To provide a comprehensive overview of existing digital and blended lifestyle interventions for preschool-aged children, focusing on both the general population and families with a lower socioeconomic position (SEP), highlighting the unique challenges faced by each group.
Key Findings:
Unhealthy lifestyle behaviors are prevalent in preschool-aged children, particularly among those from low SEP families, indicating a need for targeted interventions.
Limited knowledge exists on the characteristics and effectiveness of interventions targeting preschool-aged children, suggesting a gap in research.
Digital and blended interventions may help overcome barriers faced by low SEP families, offering a potential pathway to improve health outcomes.
Interpretation:
The review aims to identify patterns and gaps in intervention characteristics and effectiveness, particularly for low SEP families, to guide future intervention development and ensure they are tailored to meet the specific needs of these populations.
Limitations:
No protocol was registered for this scoping review, which may limit transparency and reproducibility.
Language criteria restricted inclusion to studies published in English, potentially omitting relevant research in other languages.
Conclusion:
The review seeks to clarify the characteristics of existing interventions and effectiveness patterns to inform future research and intervention design, particularly emphasizing the need to address the unique challenges faced by low SEP families.
A prespecified exploratory analysis of the FIND-CKD clinical trial examined kidney function, albuminuria, and kidney failure outcomes in 903 patients with glomerular diseases.
