• Preschoolers attending community-based health centers are vulnerable to obesity
• Assessment of risk for obesity should be an integral part of well-child visits.
• Parents of preschoolers can provide computer-based obesity risk information
• A visual profile of risk can provide direction for obesity prevention efforts
PurposeThis group field-tested a computer-based, parental questionnaire entitled the Childhood Obesity Risk Questionnaire 2–5 (CORQ 2–5) designed to assess obesity risk in healthy preschoolers. COR 2–5 generates a profile of seven obesity risk factors.ResultsField studies provided good internal reliability data and evidence of discriminant validity for the CORQ 2–5. Pediatric nurse clinicians found the CORQ 2–5 profile to be clinically relevant.ConclusionThe CORQ 2–5 is a promising measure of obesity risk in preschoolers who attend community-based health centers for their wellchild visits and who are not yet obese. CORQ 2–5 is intended to guide provider–parental obesity risk discussions.
