Study design (if review, criteria of inclusion for studies)

non randomized trial

Participants

young children with cystic fibrosis

Interventions

The 5-week treatment included nutrition counseling and child behavioral management training for parents

Outcome measures

energy intake measured by diet diaries

Main results

Energy intake changed at each meal, only when treatment was introduced (week 1: snacks, 420 to 691; week 2: breakfast, 325 to 443; week 4: lunch, 350 to 443; and week 5: dinner, 373 to 460 calories per day). Total daily intake increased in a systematic fashion that exceeded the criterion set each week during treatment.

Authors' conclusions

Toddlers and preschoolers with CF meet energy intake recommendations as a result of behavioral intervention. Single-subject research designs are important methodologies for advancing clinical investigation in pediatric psychology.
