背景：年轻人有体重增加的风险。很少有人知道如何设计体重控制计划，以满足年轻人的需求，很少有理论为基础的干预措施进行了评估，在随机对照试验。在大学环境和设置中选择健康选项（选择）研究的资助是为两年制社区大学生创建一个基于技术的计划，以帮助防止不健康的体重增加。本文的目的是（1）提供一个简短的背景下，体重相关的干预措施，在年轻人;（2）描述的研究设计的选择，概念模型指导的研究和选择的干预;（3）讨论这项研究的健康教育工作者的意义。翻译到健康教育实践：我们从选择研究中获得的经验将有助于提出其他基于理论的模型和干预策略，这些模型和策略可能有助于预防年轻人不健康的体重增加。此外，本文还讨论了与2年制大学合作开展这种类型的健康促进工作的重要考虑因素。
Background: Young adults are at risk for weight gain. Little is known about how to design weight control programs to meet the needs of young adults and few theory-based interventions have been evaluated in a randomized control trial. The Choosing Healthy Options in College Environments and Settings (CHOICES) study was funded to create a technology-based program for 2-year community college students to help prevent unhealthy weight gain. The purpose of this article is to (1) provide a brief background on weight-related interventions in young adults; (2) describe the study design for the CHOICES study, the conceptual model guiding the research and the CHOICES intervention; and (3) discuss implications of this research for health educators. Translation to Health Education Practice: Our experiences from the CHOICES study will be useful in suggesting other theory-based models and intervention strategies that might be helpful in programs attempting to prevent unhealthy weight gain in young adults. In addition, this article discusses important considerations for working with 2-year colleges on this type of health promotion work.
