DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The applicant's long-term career goal is to conduct a program of clinical community-based participatory research aimed at prevention of chronic disease through the promotion of physical activity with underserved and disenfranchised populations. Historically, these populations have been omitted from clinical research and are at high risk for chronic illness. Immediate goals are to expand current research skills, incorporate a community-based participatory research approach, and work with a Latino community. To achieve these goals, a focused career development plan is proposed to1) acquire advanced theoretical knowledge and practical experience with conducting community-based participatory research aimed at physical activity promotion in Latino youth, 2) gain literacy in Latino culture, Spanish language, and knowledge of Latino health issues, and 3) gain advanced skills and mentored experience in designing and implementing interventions aimed at physical activity promotion. Research to be conducted will use a community-based participatory approach to address the lack of physical activity in Latino adolescents, which is a major risk factor for coronary heart disease (CHO), the leading cause of death in the US. Latinos comprise 13% of the population of the US and are the fastest growing minority group. Latino youth bear a greater burden of CHD risk factors, compared with white non-Hispanic youth. In order to improve long-term cardiovascular outcomes for Latino youth, we must address risk factors early in adolescence. Increasing physical activity is one way to reduce CHD risk in Latino youth. There is a paucity of research directed toward promoting physical activity among Latino youth and this study addresses this critical gap. Thus, the specific aims of the proposed study are to 1) assess and evaluate community resources for physical activity, and 2) develop and assess the feasibility of a culturally appropriate physical activity intervention for middle school Latino adolescents. Qualitative and quantitative data will be collected for the community assessment. Based on the analysis of the community assessment data, the physical activity intervention will be finalized in partnership with the community. Both qualitative and quantitative data will be collected for the feasibility assessment. The feasibility assessment will include a process evaluation, identification of barriers to participation by the adolescents in the intervention, and an outcomes evaluation.

描述（由申请人提供）：申请人的长期职业目标是进行一项以临床社区为基础的参与性研究计划，旨在通过促进服务不足和被剥夺权利的人群的体育活动来预防慢性病。从历史上看，这些人群一直被临床研究忽略，并且处于慢性疾病的高风险之中。近期目标是扩大当前的研究技能，纳入以社区为基础的参与式研究方法，并与拉丁美洲社区合作。为了实现这些目标，提出了一个有重点的职业发展计划，以1）获得先进的理论知识和实践经验，进行以社区为基础的参与性研究，旨在促进拉丁美洲青年的体育活动，2）获得拉丁美洲文化，西班牙语和拉丁美洲健康问题的知识识字，以及3）在设计和实施旨在促进身体活动的干预措施方面获得先进的技能和指导经验。将进行的研究将使用基于社区的参与式方法来解决拉丁美洲青少年缺乏体育活动的问题，这是美国主要死亡原因冠心病（CHO）的主要风险因素。拉丁裔占美国人口的13%，是增长最快的少数民族。与非西班牙裔的白色青年相比，拉丁裔青年的冠心病危险因素负担更大。为了改善拉丁美洲青年的长期心血管结局，我们必须在青春期早期解决风险因素。增加体力活动是降低拉丁美洲青年冠心病风险的一种方法。有一个针对促进拉丁美洲青年体育活动的研究很少，这项研究解决了这个关键的差距。因此，拟议的研究的具体目标是1）评估和评估社区资源的体育活动，2）制定和评估的可行性，文化上适当的体育活动干预中学拉丁美洲青少年。将为社区评估收集定性和定量数据。根据对社区评估数据的分析，将与社区合作最后确定体育活动干预措施。将为可行性评估收集定性和定量数据。可行性评估将包括过程评价、确定青少年参与干预的障碍以及结果评价。
