The effects of parental influence on their children’s eye health behavior through the preschool eye health education intervention program were examined. The Health Belief Model was used to develop parental involvement strategy and eye health curriculum. The study was conducted in a large public preschool with five branches in Beijing, China. A total of 248 parent–child pairs participated in the baseline and follow-up surveys, of which 129 were in the intervention group and 119 were in the comparison group. The generalized estimating equation analysis results indicated that parental involvement in preschool-based eye health intervention on screen uses had positive influence on parents’ eye health knowledge, cues to action, and parenting efficacy. The intervention program also had positive effects on the increasing level of children’s eye health knowledge, beliefs, cues to action, self-efficacy, and behaviors. The results supported the implementation of a preschool-based eye health intervention program with parental involvement, which could potentially enhance children’s and parents’ eye health beliefs and practices.Shu-Mei LiuFong-Ching ChangCheng-Yu ChenShu-Fang ShihBo MengEric NgChia-Hsuan HsuYi-Te ChiangXiao-Jie MaoMing-Yan YiBen LePageWei-Ta FangMDPI AGarticleeye healthscreen usechildrenpreschoolparent involvementMedicineRENInternational Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, Vol 18, Iss 11330, p 11330 (2021)
