本研究在評估涵蓋家長教育之教學設計對國小高年級學童降低脂肪攝取營養教育成效的影響。以台北市三所國小之五年級各兩班學童（N=167）及家長（N=108）為研究對象。研究設計分三組教育介入，課堂教學組（E）的為實施每週一次，共八次的學童降低脂肪營養教育課堂教學；家長教育組（PI）除了學童課堂教學外，還包括家長簡訊及座談會；控制組（C）則無任何相關的營養教育活動。在介入前、後一週分別對三組學童及家長進行前、後測評量，並在介入結束後第六週對PI組及E組學童進行後後測評量。研究結果發現：介入後，PI組及E組學童之知識均顯著較控制組增加，但只有PI組之學童態度、飲食行為及自我效能顯著較控制組進步。以PI組來看，除了對低度家長參與的學童成效較差外，對不同性別、體型、學業成績及家庭社經地位的學童幾乎都有成效；另外，PI組之家長的飲食行為也顯著較控制組家長進步。本研究證實，家長參與對學童飲食營養教育介入計畫成效有重要的影響。
