MethodsThe video, developed in 2010–2011, for use with children and adolescents, was filmed with the GT1M monitor, but is applicable to the newer GT3X models. The IRB at Baylor College of Medicine approved the protocol. Participants (aged 14–17 years) were recruited from the USDA/ARS Children's Nutrition Research Center (CNRC) recruitment database; they provided written parental consent and assent prior to participation. Youth were not eligible if they had previously worn an activity monitor.ResultsThe expert panel (n= 12) provided favorable comments regarding setting and content. Suggested changes included adding graphics and modifying music. Interviews/observations with adolescents (n= 10; four female, six male; three black, two white, five Hispanic) indicated that most (n= 8) correctly identified the purpose of the monitor and rated the video very easy (n= 8) or a little easy (n= 2) to understand. All (n= 10) correctly attached and detached the monitor without assistance and accuratelyDiscussionEvidence suggests that the online video is a feasible and effective method for conveying how to wear an activity monitor. Using widely available technology, such as the Internet, can enhance the research process by providing a convenient means of instruction on how to attach the monitor, and it also ensures consistency in instruction. The videos can be viewed online in English and Spanish at www. ajpmonline. org (doi: 10.1016/j. amepre. 2011.10. 024).
