Limited information exists regarding the effectiveness of school-based BMI screening programs. The purpose of this study was to determine if BMI health report cards affected parents\u2019 knowledge or actions regarding their child\u2019s health and to determine the accuracy of parents\u2019 perceptions of their child as underweight, normal weight, or overweight according to their child\u2019s BMI. A questionnaire was developed with the help of physical educators, pediatricians, and exercise scientists to determine parents\u2019 perceptions and behaviors regarding BMI report cards. The questionnaire was distributed to parents\/guardians of children who sought medical care at two pediatrician\u2019s offices in Arkansas. Based on responses to survey questions, parents are not making changes to their child\u2019s diet and exercise habits if their child is classified as \u201cat risk\u201d or \u201coverweight.\u201d However, parents did report that BMI health report cards are influencing their knowledge about their child\u2019s health. The majority of parents in the study (approximately 66%) did not accurately perceive their child\u2019s BMI category.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1524839917749489","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,2,1]],"date-time":"2018-02-01T06:07:45Z","timestamp":1517465265000},"page":"896-904","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["BMI Health Report Cards: Parents\u2019 Perceptions and Reactions"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"19","author":[{"given":"Marla","family":"Jones","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Missouri Western State University, St. Joseph, MO, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Cassie","family":"Huffer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Arkansas State University, Jonesboro, AR, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tom","family":"Adams","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Arkansas State University, Jonesboro, AR, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Logan","family":"Jones","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Missouri Western State University, St. Joseph, MO, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bryan","family":"Church","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Arkansas State University, Jonesboro, AR, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,2,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-1524839917749489","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.numecd.2011.09.006"},{"key":"bibr2-1524839917749489","unstructured":"Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
