This study aimed to identify individual and socio-ecological barriers in managing healthy eating among low-income children from the perspective of community childcare (CCC) center workers (n = 18) through focus group interviews. They perceived the increase in obesity among low-income children. The interviews revealed that the child’s eating habits are affected by not only individual determinants including self-regulation and risk awareness but also environmental factors such as family, CCC centers, policy and social structure. To enhance children’s health and behavior, it is necessary to consider the interactions among systems at a variety of levels, for example, local community and health care policies.

这项研究的目的是通过焦点小组访谈从社区托儿中心（CCC）中心工作人员（n = 18）的角度确定低收入儿童健康饮食管理的个人和社会生态障碍。他们意识到低收入儿童肥胖症的增加。访谈显示，孩子的饮食习惯不仅受到个人决定因素的影响，包括自我调节和风险意识，还受到家庭，CCC中心，政策和社会结构等环境因素的影响。为了增强儿童的健康和行为，有必要考虑各个级别系统之间的相互作用，例如，当地社区和医疗政策。
