Parenting at Mealtime and Playtime - Ohio Chapter, American Academy of Pediatrics

EDUCATION / CME / MOC II

Parenting at Mealtime and Playtime (PMP) Program provides tools used during routine well child visits including developmentally age- and behavior- appropriate counseling strategies and resources, such as trainings, handouts and a toolkit related to nutrition and physical activity. 1/3 of Ohio’s children are overweight or obese and activity and nutrition in many families is compromised. The program helps providers work with families to help children achieve optimal health and prevent obesity.

General Information

Childhood obesity in the United States continues to rise and there is a direct risk of being overweight or obese into adulthood
The first 1000 days (first two years of life) represent a sensitive period or “window of opportunity” for humans to learn to eat healthy, nutritious diets that, among other things, help protect against the risk of childhood- from birth to 2 years of age – are critical for childhood obesity prevention
A key aspect of this sensitive period is that it lays the foundation for the development of flavor preferences through life. Because humans are born with an innate taste preference for sweet, and a rejection of sour and bitter (e.g., vegetable) tastes, the first 1,000 days of life represent a very important period for facilitating the acceptance of the bitter flavors that characterize most vegetables and offering a variety of foods as well as repeated exposures helps shape their food preferences and prevent obesity

History

The Parenting at Mealtime and Playtime (PMP) program transitioned from a Quality Improvement (QI) project to an education-based model. The impact of the program continues as new resources are developed, trainings are enhanced, and additional opportunities for collaboration continue. Amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, PMP still had an impact on families throughout Ohio. Ohio AAP, with the guidance of the PMP Advisory Committee, launched a new online toolkit, 8 new live trainings, 2 recorded trainings, and new PMP resources for families and providers.
There was a total of 383 primary care providers, nurses, home visitors, community health workers, and other allied health professionals trained through 8 (4 well child support and 4 practice management) trainings. There were 30 pediatricians trained through a CME/MOC part II session titled Panel of Emerging Science in Play, Hunger Cues, and Food Allergies at the Ohio Chapter, American Academy of Pediatrics (Ohio AAP) Annual Meeting in November 2020. In addition to the educational seminars, the Ohio AAP piloted an interdisciplinary training for primary care office staff and trained 5 primary care offices on PMP. The report describes a summary of the items listed in the contract.
93 primary care providers and allied health professionals have registered for the PMP toolkit
5 primary care offices participated in the PMP interdisciplinary training
100% of interdisciplinary training participants were “satisfied” or “very satisfied” with the training
30 people registered for the PMP Journal Club learning activity for CME/MOC credit
