建议的肥胖预防干预措施针对多个层面。需要有效的宣传来影响个人、社会、环境和政策层面的因素。本文描述了让年轻人参与肥胖预防宣传工作的基本原理，这些宣传工作旨在改变环境和政策，以改善营养和身体活动。倡导涉及教育、技能发展以及行为和态度改变，目的是说服他人或采取行动。青少年宣传已成功用于预防药物滥用，但在预防肥胖方面相对较新。提出了一个模型来指导青年肥胖预防宣传的干预和评估。该模型以青年倡导为核心构建，概述了个人、社会环境、建筑环境和政策层面的倡导投入和结果。该模型可以在青年倡导评估项目中使用和完善。通过让青年参与社区，倡导可以产生所有权、参与度和未来的参与，从而产生可持续的变化。
Recommended obesity prevention interventions target multiple levels. Effective advocacy is needed to influence factors at individual, social, environmental, and policy levels. This paper describes the rationale for engaging youth in obesity prevention advocacy efforts targeting environment and policy changes to improve nutrition and physical activity. Advocacy involves education, skill development, and behavior and attitude changes, with the goal of persuading others or taking action. Youth advocacy has been successfully used in substance use prevention, but it is relatively new in obesity prevention. A model is presented to guide intervention and evaluation in youth advocacy for obesity prevention. With youth advocacy as a central construct, the model outlines inputs and outcomes of advocacy at individual, social environment, built environment, and policy levels. The model can be used and refined in youth advocacy evaluation projects. By involving youth in their communities, advocacy can produce ownership, engagement, and future involvement yielding sustainable changes.
