心血管疾病的预防如果在生命的早期就开始是更有效的，但是在年轻人中促进健康生活方式习惯的现有干预措施是无效的。特别是冲动已被证明是青年采取健康行为的重要障碍。观察证据表明，正念干预可以减少冲动，改善饮食和身体活动。我们假设，正念训练在辅助传统的健康教育将改善饮食习惯和体育活动的青少年减少冲动行为和提高规划skills.Methods/designThe承诺得到适合的研究是一个试点集群随机对照试验的可行性，学校的可接受性和初步效能-在传统健康教育的基础上进行正念训练，以促进青少年的健康饮食和体育活动。马萨诸塞州中部的两所学校（每所学校30名学生）将随机接受正念训练加标准健康教育（HE-M）或注意力控制干预加标准健康教育（HE-AC）。将在基线、干预完成（2个月）和8个月时进行评估。主要结果是可行性和可接受性。次要成果包括体力活动，饮食，冲动，情绪，身体质量指数，和quality of life.ConclusionsThis study will provide important information about practical and preliminary estimates of efficacy of a school-delivered mindfulness and health education intervention to promote healthy dietary and physical activity behaviors among adolescents.我们的研究结果将提供有关正念训练可能有助于行为改变的可能机制的重要见解，并为这一重要领域的未来研究提供信息。
IntroductionCardiovascular prevention is more effective if started early in life, but available interventions to promote healthy lifestyle habits among youth have been ineffective. Impulsivity in particular has proven to be an important barrier to the adoption of healthy behaviors in youth. Observational evidence suggests that mindfulness interventions may reduce impulsivity and improve diet and physical activity. We hypothesize that mindfulness training in adjunct to traditional health education will improve dietary habits and physical activity among teenagers by reducing impulsive behavior and improving planning skills.Methods/designThe Commit to Get Fit study is a pilot cluster randomized controlled trial examining the feasibility, acceptability and preliminary efficacy of school-based mindfulness training in adjunct to traditional health education for promotion of a healthy diet and physical activity among adolescents. Two schools in central Massachusetts (30 students per school) will be randomized to receive mindfulness training plus standard health education (HE-M) or an attention-control intervention plus standard health education (HE-AC). Assessments will be conducted at baseline, intervention completion (2 months), and 8 months. Primary outcomes are feasibility and acceptability. Secondary outcomes include physical activity, diet, impulsivity, mood, body mass index, and quality of life.ConclusionsThis study will provide important information about feasibility and preliminary estimates of efficacy of a school-delivered mindfulness and health education intervention to promote healthy dietary and physical activity behaviors among adolescents. Our findings will provide important insights about the possible mechanisms by which mindfulness training may contribute to behavioral change and inform future research in this important area.
