很少有研究探讨社会影响(例如，社会网络、社会支持、社会规范)与健康之间的关系，因为这与可能导致健康差距的修正因素有关。这是一项对水果和蔬菜摄入量和体力活动的横断面分析，使用了两项针对工薪阶层、多民族成年人的癌症预防研究的基线数据。在两个样本中，一些社会影响和社会背景变量与水果和蔬菜的摄入量和体力活动有关。水果和蔬菜的摄入量与社会规范和社会网络有关，尽管不同的背景变量也与两个样本的摄入量有关。体力活动与社交网络、社会规范和相互竞争的需求有关。通过研究关键的社会影响和背景中介变量如何与健康行为相关，我们可以更多地了解可能需要哪些类型的干预措施来促进该人群持续的健康行为变化。
Little research has explored the relationship between social influences (e.g., social networks, social support, social norms) and health as related to modifying factors that may contribute to health disparities. This is a cross-sectional analysis of fruit and vegetable intake and physical activity, using baseline data from two cancer prevention studies with working-class, multi-ethnic adults. Several social influence and social contextual variables were associated with fruit and vegetable intake and physical activity in both samples. Fruit and vegetable consumption was associated with social norms and social networks, although different contextual variables also were related to intake across the two samples. Physical activity was associated with social networks, social norms, and competing demands. By examining how key social influence and contextual mediating variables relate to health behaviors, we can learn more about the types of interventions that might be needed to promote sustained health behavior change in this population.
