国家、州和地方政策旨在改变学校环境，以防止儿童肥胖。基于社区的参与性研究(CBPR)可以有效地将公共卫生政策转化为实践。我们描述了在加利福尼亚州洛杉矶使用CBPR开发和试点测试以中学为基础的肥胖预防干预措施的经验教训。我们在洛杉矶联合学区和加州大学洛杉矶分校/兰德青少年健康促进中心之间建立了社区-学术合作伙伴关系，以确定解决青少年肥胖问题的社区需求和优先事项，并开发和试行基于学校的干预措施。学术合作伙伴需要精通组织结构和政策。伙伴关系应该建立在信任关系、共同愿景和相互能力建设的基础上，并在多个层面上真正让社区参与。这些经验教训不仅对于与学校合作预防肥胖至关重要，而且对于在其他社区环境和其他健康问题上开展工作也是如此。
National, state, and local policies aim to change school environments to prevent child obesity. Community-based participatory research (CBPR) can be effective in translating public health policy into practice. We describe lessons learned from developing and pilot testing a middle school-based obesity prevention intervention using CBPR in Los Angeles, California. We formed a community–academic partnership between the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) and the UCLA/RAND Center for Adolescent Health Promotion to identify community needs and priorities for addressing adolescent obesity and to develop and pilot test a school-based intervention. Academic partners need to be well-versed in organizational structures and policies. Partnerships should be built on relationships of trust, shared vision, and mutual capacity building, with genuine community engagement at multiple levels. These lessons are critical, not only for partnering with schools on obesity prevention, but also for working in other community settings and on other health issues.
