确定高中期间与少数民族青年追求健康科学的动机相关的可修改的促进策略（暴露）。样本（N = 116）的少数民族（73%的非洲裔美国人/黑人，21%的西班牙裔/拉丁美洲人）12年级的6所高中在较低的社会经济领域接壤华盛顿，完成了自我管理的调查。路径模型被用来检查：1）暴露：高中科学课程，课外科学活动，个人健康经历，和成人鼓励预测计划行为理论（TPB）的结构，包括态度，主观规范，和感知行为控制，和2）TPB结构预测的结果，意图追求大学健康科学。路径模型表明，成人鼓励与态度（p < .001），主观规范（p < .001）和感知行为控制（p < .001）相关;个人健康经历与态度（p < .001）相关。态度和主观规范与意图相关（p <0.001）。激励少数民族高中生从低社会经济领域，通过成人的鼓励和个人健康的经验，重视健康科学家，并认为其他人支持他们追求健康科学可能是促进他们的意图，以追求大学健康科学的途径。
To identify modifiable facilitation strategies (exposures) during high school that are associated with motivation for minority youth pursuit of health science. A sample (N = 116) of minority (73% African American/Black, 21% Hispanic/Latino) 12th graders from 6 high schools in a lower socioeconomic area bordering Washington, DC completed a self-administered survey. Path modeling was used to examine whether: 1) exposures: high school science courses, extra-curricular science activities, personal health experiences, and adult encouragement predict Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) constructs including Attitude, Subjective Norm, and Perceived Behavioral Control, and 2) TPB constructs predict the outcome of Intent to pursue college health science. The path model indicated that adult encouragement was associated with Attitude (p < .001), Subjective Norm (p < .001), and Perceived Behavioral Control (p < .001); and personal health experiences were associated with Attitude (p < .001). Attitude and Subjective Norm were associated with Intent (p < .001). Motivating minority high schoolers from low socioeconomic areas through adult encouragement and personal health experiences to value health scientists and to perceive that others support their pursuit of health science may be pathways for facilitating their intention to pursue college health science.
