DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal is designed to obtain the perspectives of 50 adolescents as well as 100 parents and community members about barriers to and effective community-based interventions for managing adolescent obesity. Obesity is the second leading cause of preventable disease in the United States and as such is a public health priority. Twenty-five percent of all adolescents are overweight or obese and of those seventy percent will become obese adults who are at risk for diabetes, hypertension, and cardiac disease. This proposal relies on the combined resources of Saint Paul's Missionary Baptist Church (serving a low income African American population), Ponderosa High School (a rural school serving a large number of Hispanic/Latino teens), California State University, Sacramento (CSUS, an EARDA school), and the Department of Family and Community Medicine at the University of California Davis (UCD, a research intensive school). Six focus groups aimed at identifying the causes of and solutions to adolescent obesity will be conducted. Phenomenology will be used to analyze the results of the focus groups and workshops will be designed based on those results. Nine workshops will be offered by CSUS' and UCD faculty members to promote healthy adolescent lifestyle choices and minimize obesity. A nationally known NIH funded researcher will also present a workshop on preventing and treating adolescent obesity. Subsequent focus groups will be held to evaluate the perspectives of teens, parents, and community leaders about the effectiveness of these 10 workshops as an intervention to minimize adolescent obesity. Planning groups will also be held to design a translational intervention grant targeting adolescent obesity. In summary, specific aims of the proposal include: 1) identifying and documenting adolescents', parents', and community leaders' views regarding the attitudes, beliefs, health behaviors, and lifestyle habits that influence adolescent eating and exercise habits, and 2) developing a translational intervention grant designed to minimize adolescent obesity at Saint Paul's Missionary Baptist Church and Ponderosa High School. These specific aims are planned to establish a community-academic partnership capable of reducing the health disparities associated with adolescent obesity in two low-income communities.

描述（由申请人提供）：本提案旨在获得50名青少年以及100名家长和社区成员对管理青少年肥胖的障碍和有效的社区干预措施的看法。肥胖是美国可预防疾病的第二大原因，因此是公共卫生的优先事项。25%的青少年超重或肥胖，其中70%将成为肥胖的成年人，他们有患糖尿病、高血压和心脏病的风险。这项建议依赖于圣保罗的传教士浸信会（服务于低收入的非洲裔美国人），Ponderosa高中（一所农村学校服务于大量的西班牙裔/拉丁裔青少年），加州州立大学，萨克拉门托（CSUS，EARDA学校）的综合资源，以及家庭和社区医学系在加州戴维斯大学（UCD，研究密集型学校）。将举办六个焦点小组，旨在确定青少年肥胖的原因和解决办法。现象学将用于分析焦点小组的结果，并将根据这些结果设计研讨会。九个研讨会将由CSUS'和UCD教职员工提供，以促进健康的青少年生活方式的选择，并尽量减少肥胖。一位全国知名的NIH资助的研究人员也将举办一个关于预防和治疗青少年肥胖的研讨会。随后将举行焦点小组会议，评估青少年、家长和社区领袖对这10个讲习班作为减少青少年肥胖干预措施的有效性的看法。规划小组还将举行设计针对青少年肥胖症的转化干预赠款。总之，该提案的具体目标包括：1）确定和记录家长，家长和社区领导人对影响青少年饮食和运动习惯的态度，信仰，健康行为和生活习惯的看法，以及2）开发旨在最大限度地减少圣保罗传教士浸信会和Ponderosa高中青少年肥胖的翻译干预补助金。这些具体目标计划建立一个社区-学术伙伴关系，能够减少两个低收入社区与青少年肥胖相关的健康差距。
