项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This Phase II application proposes the development of an interactive, school-based multimedia program that addresses body dissatisfaction in adolescents (BDIA). Using a self-esteem approach to improve body image, nutrition, and physical activity, the program is designed for early adolescents (ages 11 to 12) when maturation and body concerns are highly salient. BDIA is considered one of the most robust risk factors in the onset of eating disorders, and is implicated as a risk factor in the initiation of substance use and depression. Further, increasing rates of BDIA and the early initiation of dieting behaviors parallels the rising rates of childhood obesity. The CD-ROM program goals will be delivered through a mystery game format; responses to a risk factor assessment tailor program messages to the individual user. The six learning modules will cover puberty, nutrition, physical activity, self-esteem, relational esteem, and media literacy. The Phase I pilot study established the demonstration program's feasibility and indicated a significant increase in puberty-related knowledge, i.e., students significantly improved their knowledge and awareness of puberty issues after using the program, (t32=-5.55, p<.0001 ), suggesting that the program effectively changed at least one important dimension related to BDIA. Proposed Commercial Applications: With about 90 percent of children and adolescents using computers today and over 80 percent using computers at school, computer technology represents the next generation for public health prevention initiatives. This program is intended to be offered in schools, but can be readily used in other settings (e.g., primary care offices, youth centers, or at home). If such a program demonstrated effectiveness in reducing risk behaviors over traditional education approaches, school administrators and health educators would likely view it as a desirable, cost effective way to offer BDIA education and prevention to young adolescents.

描述（由申请人提供）：这第二阶段的应用程序提出了一个互动的，以学校为基础的多媒体程序，解决身体不满的青少年（BDIA）的发展。使用自尊的方法来改善身体形象，营养和体育活动，该计划是专为青少年早期（11至12岁）时，成熟和身体的关注是非常突出的。BDIA被认为是饮食失调发作中最强大的风险因素之一，并被认为是开始使用物质和抑郁症的风险因素。此外，BDIA和早期开始节食行为的比率增加与儿童肥胖率的上升相平行。CD-ROM程序目标将通过神秘游戏的形式提供;对风险因素评估的响应将程序信息定制到个人用户。六个学习模块将涵盖青春期，营养，体育活动，自尊，关系尊重和媒体素养。第一阶段试点研究确定了示范项目的可行性，并表明与青春期有关的知识有了显著增加，即，在使用该程序后，学生对青春期问题的知识和意识显著提高（t32=-5.55，p <.0001），表明该程序有效地改变了与BDIA相关的至少一个重要维度。建议的商业应用：今天，大约90%的儿童和青少年使用计算机，80%以上的儿童和青少年在学校使用计算机，计算机技术代表了下一代公共卫生预防措施。该计划旨在在学校提供，但可以很容易地在其他环境中使用（例如，初级保健办公室、青年中心或家中）。如果这样的计划证明在减少危险行为的传统教育方法的有效性，学校管理人员和健康教育工作者可能会认为这是一个可取的，成本效益的方式提供BDIA教育和预防青少年。
