ABSTRACTIntroductionLittle is known about how early (e.g., commencing antenatally or in the first 12 months after birth) obesity prevention interventions seek to change behaviour and which components are or are not effective. This study aims to 1) characterise early obesity prevention interventions in terms of target behaviours, delivery features, and behaviour change techniques (BCTs), 2) explore similarities and differences in BCTs used to target behaviours, and 3) explore effectiveness of intervention components in preventing childhood obesity.Methods and analysisAnnual comprehensive systematic searches will be performed in Epub Ahead of Print/MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane (CENTRAL), CINAHL, PsycINFO, as well as clinical trial registries. Eligible randomised controlled trials of behavioural interventions to prevent childhood obesity commencing antenatally or in the first year after birth will be invited to join the TOPCHILD Collaboration. Standard ontologies will be used to code target behaviours, delivery features and BCTs in both published and unpublished intervention materials provided by trialists. Narrative syntheses will be performed to summarise intervention components and compare applied BCTs by types of target behaviours. Exploratory analyses will be undertaken to assess effectiveness of intervention components.Ethics and disseminationThe study has been approved by The University of Sydney Human Research Ethics Committee (project no. 2020/273) and Flinders University Social and Behavioural Research Ethics Committee (project no. HREC CIA2133-1). The study’s findings will be disseminated through peer-reviewed publications, conference presentations, and targeted communication with key stakeholders.DiscussionOur study will provide an in depth understanding of behavioural components and delivery features used in obesity prevention interventions starting antenatally or in the first 12 months after birth. Understanding common intervention approaches in a systematic way will provide much needed insight to advance the design of early obesity prevention interventions and provide the opportunity to undertake future quantitative predictive modelling.RegistrationPROSPERO registration no. CRD42020177408STRENGTHS AND LIMITATIONS OF THIS STUDYThis study provides an understanding of behaviours targeted, behaviour change techniques and delivery features used in early childhood obesity prevention trials identified in a systematic review as being eligible for inclusion in the Transforming Obesity Prevention in CHILDren (TOPCHILD) Collaboration.Extends previous methods by coding behaviour change techniques in published and unpublished intervention materials and performing cross validation with trialists through the TOPCHILD Collaboration.Using standardised coding taxonomies will allow for comparisons across studies, and we will pilot test new ontologies from the Human Behaviour Change Project.Explores the complex area of targeting parent and caregivers’ behaviours to impact child outcomes across four key obesity prevention behavioural domains (relating to infant feeding practices, food provision and parent feeding practices, movement practices, sleep health practices).This study will provide preliminary results regarding the examination of intervention components’ effectiveness based on exploratory analysis. Yet, the internationally unique database this project creates will further our understanding of effective intervention components in future research.To date we already have 38 out of 65 eligible trials agreeing to share data, since not all trials may provide unpublished material we may perform sensitivity analyses comparing trials that have shared data to trials that have not shared materials.

Young children with and without disabilities who are bilingual or in the process of learning multiple languages have many strengths; however, educational policies and bias related to bilingualism for children from linguistically minoritized groups have typically included deficit-based views. The purpose of this systematic review was to identify how researchers describe these children and their caregivers. Thirty research studies were included in the review. Each study was published in Infants and Young Children, Journal of Early Intervention, or Topics in Early Childhood Special Education between 1988 and 2020. Studies were coded to determine participant characteristics and whether deficit- or strength-based descriptions of participants were used. Although researchers’ descriptions of participants’ linguistic backgrounds varied, most were English-centric, and deficit-based descriptions of bilingualism were more prevalent than strength-based descriptions. Preliminary recommendations are provided for describing children and families from linguistically minoritized communities and including strength-based language in research and practice.
