AB  - BACKGROUND: Mothers play a key role in shaping the dietary intake of their young 
      children through their own dietary intake and the foods they make available at 
      home. Therefore, understanding the mechanisms underlying maternal food choices is 
      crucial. Cognitions about the self as a healthy eater, referred to as 
      healthy-eater self-schema (HESS), predict dietary intake in diverse samples, but 
      the linkage has not been investigated in mothers and their feeding behaviors. 
      This study examined the relationship between a maternal HESS, maternal and child 
      intake of fruits, vegetables, saturated fat, and added sugar, and home food 
      availability. METHODS: A cross-sectional, descriptive design was used with 
      mothers and their 2-5 year old children (N = 124 dyads). Kendzierski's 
      Healthy-Eater Self-Schema questionnaire was used to measure HESS. Block Food 
      Frequency Screeners were used to measure diets (mother and child) and the Home 
      Environment Survey was used to measure home availability of fruits/vegetables and 
      fats/sweets. Multiple regression and multiple mediation analyses were performed. 
      RESULTS: Maternal HESS was positively associated with maternal intake of fruits 
      and vegetables, and negatively associated with intake of added sugar. Maternal 
      HESS was not directly associated with child dietary intake, but was indirectly 
      associated with child intake of fruits, vegetables, and added sugar through 
      maternal intake of the same foods. Home food availability was not significantly 
      associated with HESS. CONCLUSION: This study found that a mother's HESS was 
      positively associated with her diet, which was subsequently associated with 
      aspects of her child's diet. Interventions to foster development of HESS in 
      mothers may be an effective means to promote healthy dietary intake in mothers 
      and their young children.
