BACKGROUND Latino fathers may play important roles in adolescents' physical activity and screen time. However, informant discrepancies regarding paternal activity parenting practices may challenge studies supporting evidence-based applications. This study examined Latino adolescent-father discrepancies in reporting paternal activity parenting practices, types of discrepancies by participant characteristics, and associations between discrepancy types and adolescents' physical activity and screen time. METHODS The sample for this cross-sectional study included Latino early adolescents and their fathers (n = 138 dyads) from baseline data collected for a family-centered, healthy lifestyle intervention in a metropolitan area. In parallel measures, Latino adolescents and fathers reported paternal activity parenting practices related to expectation or allowance, behavioral modeling, and providing opportunities for physical activity or screen time. Level of agreement and discrepancies were examined using the percentage of agreement, weighted kappa statistics, Pearson correlation coefficients, and paired-sample t-tests. Undesirable discrepancy types included adolescents reporting lower scores for paternal physical activity parenting practices or higher scores for paternal screen time parenting practices than fathers. Participants' sociodemographic characteristics and weight status were compared by discrepancy type using between-group t-tests or Chi-square tests. Associations between discrepancy type and adolescents' physical activity and screen time were examined using multivariate regression analyses. RESULTS The study sample was low-income with a high prevalence of overweight and obesity. Adolescent and paternal reports of activity parenting practices had poor agreement (percentages of agreement: 22.2-34.3%, weighted kappa statistics: < 0.2, and correlation coefficients: 0.06-0.25). An undesirable discrepancy type for certain parenting practices was more likely to be observed among fathers without full-time employment, girls, older adolescents, and adolescents and fathers within overweight or obese BMI categories. Discrepancies in paternal expectation regarding physical activity and allowance of screen time had adverse associations with adolescents' physical activity (β = - 0.18, p = 0.008) and screen time (β = 0.51, p <  0.001). CONCLUSION AND IMPLICATIONS Discrepancies in reporting activity parenting practices were evident between Latino adolescents and their fathers, especially among certain sociodemographic and weight status groups. Adolescents' perceptions on paternal parenting practices tended to be better indicators of their activity levels than fathers' reports.

拉丁美洲裔青少年-父亲在报告活动育儿习惯以及与青少年身体活动和放映时间的关联方面存在差异。

背景技术拉丁裔父亲可能在青少年的体育活动和放映时间中起重要作用。但是，关于家长活动育儿习惯的知情差异可能会挑战支持循证应用的研究。这项研究调查了拉丁裔青少年-父亲的差异，该差异在报告家长活动育儿习惯，参与者特征方面的差异类型以及差异类型与青少年的身体活动和筛查时间之间的关联。方法该横断面研究的样本包括拉丁美洲人的早期青少年和他们的父亲（n = 138个双胞胎），这些数据是从以大城市地区以家庭为中心的健康生活方式干预措施收集的基线数据中得出的。同时采取措施 拉丁裔青少年和父亲报告了与期望或津贴，行为模型有关的父母活动育儿习惯，并提供了进行体育活动或放映时间的机会。使用一致性百分比，加权Kappa统计量，Pearson相关系数和配对样本t检验检查一致性和差异水平。不良的差异类型包括：青少年报告的父亲参加体育锻炼父母的行为得分较低，或父母的筛查时间育儿行为的得分高于父亲。使用组间t检验或卡方检验按差异类型比较参与者的社会人口统计学特征和体重状况。差异类型与青少年之间的关联 使用多元回归分析检查身体活动和筛查时间。结果研究样本为低收入人群，超重和肥胖患病率较高。青少年和家长关于活动养育方式的报告相符度较低（相符度：22.2-34.3％，加权κ统计：<0.2，相关系数：0.06-0.25）。在没有全职工作的父亲，女孩，年龄较大的青少年以及体重和肥胖BMI类别中的青少年和父亲中，某些育儿习惯的不良类型更可能被观察到。父母对身体活动的期望差异和筛查时间的允许与青少年的体力活动（β=-0.18，p = 0.008）和筛查时间（β= 0.51，p <0.001）呈负相关。结论和启示在拉丁美洲青少年及其父亲之间，特别是在某些社会人口统计学和体重状况群体中，报告活动育儿行为的差异很明显。与父亲的报告相比，青少年对父母教养方式的看法往往是他们活动水平的更好指标。
