项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Team COOL (Controlling Overweight and Obesity for Life) Pilot Study is an exploratory study that aims to develop and test the acceptability and feasibility of an innovative school-based intervention to prevent further weight gain and/or promote weight loss among a sample of ethnically and economically diverse adolescents attending alternative high schools. Alternative high schools are public or private schools that offer a nontraditional educational experience for at-risk students, such as dropouts, expelled students, truants and hard to reach learners who have not succeeded in regular school systems. Although low levels of physical activity and unhealthy dietary practices, behaviors regarded as a primary cause of the overweight/obesity epidemic among youth, are prevalent among teens attending alternative schools, school-based programs targeting these behaviors have not been tested and evaluated. The proposed pilot study will involve a group-randomized trial of six alternative high schools in the Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area and compare an innovative intervention to a minimal intervention/comparison condition. Social Cognitive Theory and ecological theory will provide the theoretical basis for the multi-component intervention, which will include 1) a classroom-based experiential curriculum that incorporates school, family and community-linked activities to promote physical activity, healthy eating and limited television viewing, 2) environmental modifications of food and beverage offerings and physical activity opportunities at school and 3) a teacher-guided, youth-directed health advisory council to promote and support physical activity, healthy eating and limited television viewing. Student and school-level measurements will be taken at baseline, 6 months post randomization and at the completion of the 18 month intervention. Student-level measures will include a self-administered survey, the 3-day Previous Day Physical Activity Report and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity levels of students as measured by an Actigraph accelerometer. School-level measures will assess the availability of physical activity opportunities and healthy foods at school. Process data, which will include participation levels of students, parents/guardians, school staff and community persons, receptivity to the intervention and fidelity of the implementation, will be collected at intervention completion. It is hypothesized that adolescents attending alternative high schools and their parents and school staff who receive the Team COOL intervention will report high participation rates and a high degree of satisfaction.

描述（由申请人提供）：团队冷静（控制人生的超重和肥胖症）是一项探索性研究，旨在开发和测试创新的基于学校的干预措施的可接受性和可行性，以防止体重增加和/或促进在人种和经济上多样化的少年同种班级的替代高中生的样本中的体重减轻。替代高中是公立或私立学校，为高危学生提供非传统的教育经验，例如辍学，被驱逐的学生，逃学和难以接触未在常规学校系统中取得成功的学习者。尽管体育锻炼水平较低和不健康的饮食习惯，但被认为是年轻人超重/肥胖流行的主要原因的行为，在就读替代学校的青少年中普遍存在，但针对这些行为的学校计划尚未得到测试和评估。拟议的试点研究将涉及对明尼阿波利斯-ST六个替代高中的群体随机试验。保罗大都会区，并将创新干预与最小干预/比较条件进行比较。 Social Cognitive Theory and ecological theory will provide the theoretical basis for the multi-component intervention, which will include 1) a classroom-based experiential curriculum that incorporates school, family and community-linked activities to promote physical activity, healthy eating and limited television viewing, 2) environmental modifications of food and beverage offerings and physical activity opportunities at school and 3) a teacher-guided, youth-directed health advisory council to promote and support physical activity, healthy eating and limited电视查看。学生和学校级别的测量将在基线，随机分组后6个月以及完成18个月的干预时进行。学生级别的措施将包括一项自我管理的调查，前一天的体育活动报告以及通过Actigraph加速度计衡量的学生的中度到剧烈的体育活动水平。学校级别的措施将评估学校体育活动机会和健康食品的可用性。流程数据将包括在干预完成时收集学生，父母/监护人，学校工作人员和社区人员的参与水平，对实施的干预和忠诚度的接受。假设参加替代高中的青少年及其接受团队酷干预的父母和学校工作人员将报告高度参与率和高度满意。
