DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This Phase I SBIR application proposes the development and pilot testing of an interactive, web-based nutrition program, called www.JiveforFive.com, to be offered to high school students (ages 14 to 18) through their health curriculum. This program will be based on the 5 A Day for Better Health Program, initiated by the CDC, NCI, and the fruit and vegetable (F&V) industry. The positive benefits of adequate F&V intake are well documented. Research has shown relationships between F&V consumption and the prevention of certain types of cancer and heart disease; poor eating can result in obesity and a number of serious health concerns. In general, adolescents consume only 2.8 servings of fruits or vegetables a day, which is half of the recommendation based on the Healthy People 2010 goal. A CDC survey found that 78 percent of high school students had not eaten five or more servings of fruits or vegetables per day in the previous week. For high school students, nutrition education is addressed in health classes utilizing textbooks or in physical education classes, an approach that is neither complete nor tailored to students' needs. Current efforts to increase F&V intake have either met with limited success, or when successful, have involved a tremendous amount of time and attention. Further, other health risks among youth, such as tobacco and drug use, are often higher priorities in school settings. Thus, there is a need for nutrition programs that can be easily integrated into existing school health curricula. The concept of www.JiveforFive.com is to use the Internet to achieve a tailored, psychoeducational intervention that is not currently available to high school students. The proposed program, www.JiveforFive.com, offers an online personalized education program that will provide students with empirically-based information and tailored feedback in a confidential manner. If such a program demonstrated effectiveness, school personnel would likely regard it as a cost-effective way to increase F&V consumption among high school students.

描述(由申请者提供)：这个第一阶段的SBIR申请建议开发和试点测试一个交互式的、基于网络的营养计划，名为www.JiveforFive.com，通过他们的健康课程向高中生(14至18岁)提供。该计划将基于由疾控中心、NCI和水果和蔬菜(F&V)行业发起的5A Day for Better Health计划。充分摄取F&V的积极好处是有据可查的。研究表明，食用F&V食品与预防某些类型的癌症和心脏病之间存在关系；饮食不良会导致肥胖和一系列严重的健康问题。总体而言，青少年每天只摄入2.8份水果或蔬菜，这是基于2010年健康人群目标的推荐量的一半。美国疾病控制与预防中心的一项调查发现，78%的高中生在前一周每天没有吃五份或更多的水果或蔬菜。对于高中生来说，营养教育是在利用教科书的健康课上或在体育课上进行的，这种方法既不完整，也不适合学生的需要。目前增加F&V摄入量的努力要么取得了有限的成功，要么成功了，需要投入大量的时间和精力。此外，青少年中的其他健康风险，如吸烟和吸毒，往往是学校环境中的优先事项。因此，需要能够很容易地融入现有学校健康课程的营养计划。Www.JiveforFive.com的概念是利用互联网实现目前高中生无法获得的量身定做的心理教育干预。拟议的项目www.JiveforFive.com提供了一个在线个性化教育项目，将以保密的方式为学生提供基于经验的信息和量身定做的反馈。如果这样的计划证明了有效性，学校工作人员可能会认为这是增加高中生F&V消费的一种划算的方式。
