DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This Phase II SBIR will fully develop and validate the Healthy Eating Self-Monitoring Tool (HEST), a CD-ROM-mediated food record for measuring fruit and vegetable consumption among economically disadvantaged Black adolescents aged 11 though 14 years. Drawing from Phase I outcome data and current best practices in dietary assessment, Phase II will document planned revisions to the prototype HEST developed in Phase I of this research. Planned revisions will undergo review by a panel of professionals with expertise in dietary assessment and focus groups of adolescents, representative of the target population. Feedback provided by these referents will inform plans to fully develop the measure. The fully developed HEST will be programmed for CD-ROM-mediated delivery. In a randomized repeated measures control-group design, the performance of the HEST relative tactual intake and intake measured via 3-day food records will be examined. Recruited through social service agencies across greater New York City, a sample of 300 informed and consenting youths will be randomized to experimental and control study arms. Groups of participants will be served breakfast, lunch, and dinner meals over a consecutive 3-day period. Following meals, experimental-arm youths will record their fruit and vegetable consumption using the HEST. Control-arm youths will record their intakes using 3-day food records. Data provided by youths will be used to establish the criterion-related and convergent validity and test-retest reliability of the HEST. Should Phase II prove successful, Phase III will entail dissemination of the HEST to schools and social service agencies such as those participating in this research and development effort. The fully developed measure is intended for use as a self-monitoring tool in health promotion programs designed to increase fruit and vegetable consumption among economically disadvantaged Black adolescents.

描述（由申请人提供）： 第二阶段SBIR将充分开发和验证健康饮食自我监测工具（HEST），这是一个以光盘为媒介的食物记录，用于测量11至14岁经济困难的黑人青少年的水果和蔬菜消费量。根据第一阶段的结果数据和目前饮食评估的最佳实践，第二阶段将记录对本研究第一阶段开发的原型HEST的计划修订。计划的修订将由一个具有膳食评估专门知识的专业人员小组和代表目标人口的青少年重点小组进行审查。这些参考提供的反馈将为全面制定该措施的计划提供信息。完全开发的HEST将被编程为CD-ROM介导的交付。 在随机重复测量对照组设计中，将检查HEST相对触觉摄入量和通过3天食物记录测量的摄入量的性能。通过大纽约市的社会服务机构招募，300名知情同意的年轻人将被随机分为实验组和对照组。将在连续3天内为各组参与者提供早餐、午餐和晚餐。饭后，实验组的年轻人将使用HEST记录他们的水果和蔬菜摄入量。控制臂青年将使用3天的食物记录来记录他们的摄入量。由青少年提供的资料将被用来建立标准相关和收敛效度和重测信度的HEST。如果第二阶段成功，第三阶段将向学校和社会服务机构，如参与这项研究和发展工作的机构，传播健康教育和技能培训计划。这一充分制定的措施旨在作为健康促进方案中的自我监测工具，旨在增加经济上处于不利地位的黑人青少年的水果和蔬菜消费。
