In our investigated target group of parents with children with overweight or obesity, the new instrument to assess parental motivation for change proved to be a practicable, valid, and time-efficient short measure. The new instrument will enable more specific motivational stage-directed interventions that promise higher effectiveness of family-based interventions to fight childhood obesity. However, the subscale precontemplation seemed not fully suitable for the population investigated here and needs to be applied very carefully in future studies.
