缺乏身体活动、营养不良和长期压力威胁着城市环境中非裔美国青年的健康。夏季,由于健康食品和安全体育活动场所的减少,情况往往会恶化。公私合作伙伴关系成立,以开发和评估名为“Mission Thrive Summer”(MTS)的综合健康干预措施。 MTS 的环境是马里兰州巴尔的摩低收入社区的一个城市农场和邻近的学校。干预措施包括农业、营养教育、烹饪、体育活动、瑜伽、正念和就业。进行了混合方法结果评估。定量测量包括加速度测量和自我报告的健康行为,使用儿童和青少年正念测量、感知压力量表、青少年体力活动问卷 (PAQA)、CDC 青少年风险行为调查和 Block Kids Food Screener (BKFS)。使用配对 t 检验比较干预前后的结果。定性评估基于参与者和家长的访谈。共有 36 名非裔美国 9 年级和 10 年级学生加入 MTS(2013 年 17 名,2014 年 26 名,两年都有 7 名)。总共有 88% 的参与者完成了 MTS。加速测量显示,参与者在 MTS 期间每天走了 7158 步,燃烧了 544 卡路里。参与者在自我报告的身体活动(PAQA)和饮食习惯(BKFS)方面经历了统计上显着的改善。调查没有发现压力或正念的变化(P > .05)。定性数据证明了新的知识和技能、自我效能感的提高、健康行为的改变以及项目的乐趣。 MTS 在巴尔的摩的非洲裔美国高中生中是可行的。混合方法结果评估提供了夏季和随访期间健康行为变化的初步证据。
Physical inactivity, poor nutrition, and chronic stress threaten the health of African-American youth in urban environments. Conditions often worsen in summer with diminished access to healthy foods and safe venues for physical activity. A public–private partnership was formed to develop and evaluate an integrative health intervention entitled “Mission Thrive Summer” (MTS). The MTS setting was an urban farm and adjacent school in a low-income community in Baltimore, Maryland. The intervention included farming, nutrition education, cooking, physical activity, yoga, mindfulness, and employment. Mixed-methods outcomes evaluation was conducted. Quantitative measures included accelerometry and self-reported health behaviors, using the Child and Adolescent Mindfulness Measure, Perceived Stress Scale, Physical Activity Questionnaire for Adolescents (PAQA), CDC Youth Risk Behavior Survey, and Block Kids Food Screener (BKFS). Outcomes were compared pre- and post-intervention using paired t-tests. Qualitative evaluation was based on participant and parent interviews. In total, 36 African-American 9th- and 10th-grade students joined MTS (17 in 2013, 26 in 2014, and 7 participating both years). In total, 88% of participants completed MTS. Accelerometry revealed that participants took 7158 steps and burned 544 calories per day during MTS. Participants experienced statistically significant improvements in self-reported physical activity (PAQA) and dietary habits (BKFS). Surveys did not detect changes in stress or mindfulness (P > .05). Qualitative data demonstrated new knowledge and skills, increased self-efficacy, health behavior change, and program enjoyment. MTS was feasible among African-American high school students in Baltimore. Mixed-methods outcomes evaluation provided preliminary evidence of health behavior change during the summer and at follow-up.
