This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The lOO Black Men evaluation study will assess the effectiveness of a health promotion activity initiated by the lOO Black Men civic organization. The project titled, "The 100 Black Men Health Challenge" seeks to increase healthy lifestyle behaviors among members of the 100 Black Men and through mentoring these positive health behaviors promote healthy lifestyle behaviors in others within the African American community. A critical component of the health promotion project is to first pilot the healthy lifestyle activities in select local chapters, assess the activity's effectiveness, and then expand the health promotion program nationally. The pilot program will begin with a model to be operationalized by the metropolitan Atlanta chapters (e.g. Atlanta and DeKalb ). Each participant in the healthy lifestyle program will establish a personalized nutrition and physical activity plan based on recommended guidelines for good nutrition and physical activity. Participants will also be instructed on the benefits of not smoking and the importance of establishing a relationship with a primary care provider. The participants will then role model and mentor these healthy lifestyle behaviors to youths within the community. The 100 Black Men civic organization does not have the expertise or infrastructure to carry out a systematic evaluation of the health promotion project or the impact of the health promotion project on participant quality of life, attitudes, or behaviors. Therefore, the Morehouse School of Medicine (MSM) National Center for Primary Care (NCPC) has agreed to lend its expertise to the 100 Black Men by establishing collaboration with the civic organization to improve the health of men of color. MSM NCPC/CRC will conduct a systematic evaluation of the impact of self-reported increased physical activity and increased consumption of fruit and vegetables on the perceptions of quality of life, attitudes, and behaviors ofmembers of the 100 Black Men. Ideally, evaluative methods seek to functionally establish the most salient variables operating in the natural settings of a program, and provide data to decision- makers that can be used to improve program performance. Therefore, this method is not constrained to hypothesis testing. Investigators expect to see a significant difference in: 1. Participant outcomes between participants who engage in the physical activity, nutrition, smoking cessation, securing primary care provider, and mentoring components of the Health Challenge and those who do not. 2. Participant retention and recidivism in each program component (physical activity, nutrition, smoking cessation, securing primary care provider and mentoring). 3. Program implementation effectiveness between programming for groups (teamwork) and programming for those individuals who do not participate as a team member . 4. Attitudes regarding physical activity, nutrition, smoking, primary care providers, and mentoring before and after the program implementation.

该子项目是利用 NIH/NCRR 资助的中心拨款提供的资源的众多研究子项目之一。子项目和研究者 (PI) 可能已从另一个 NIH 来源获得主要资金，因此可以在其他 CRISP 条目中得到体现。列出的机构是中心的机构，不一定是研究者的机构。第100个黑人评估研究将评估第100个黑人民间组织发起的健康促进活动的有效性。该项目名为“100 名黑人健康挑战”，旨在提高 100 名黑人成员的健康生活方式行为，并通过指导这些积极的健康行为，促进非裔美国人社区内其他人的健康生活方式行为。健康促进项目的一个重要组成部分是首先在选定的地方分会试点健康生活方式活动，评估活动的有效性，然后将健康促进计划扩展到全国。该试点计划将从亚特兰大大都会分会（例如亚特兰大和迪卡尔布）实施的模型开始。健康生活方式计划的每位参与者将根据良好营养和身体活动的推荐指南制定个性化的营养和身体活动计划。参与者还将了解不吸烟的好处以及与初级保健提供者建立关系的重要性。然后，参与者将为社区内的年轻人树立榜样并指导这些健康的生活方式行为。 100 Black Men 民间组织没有专业知识或基础设施来对健康促进项目或健康促进项目对参与者生活质量、态度或行为的影响进行系统评估。因此，莫尔豪斯医学院 (MSM) 国家初级保健中心 (NCPC) 同意与民间组织建立合作，向 100 名黑人提供其专业知识，以改善有色人种男性的健康。 MSM NCPC/CRC 将系统评估 100 名黑人成员自我报告的身体活动增加以及水果和蔬菜消费增加对生活质量、态度和行为的影响。理想情况下，评估方法寻求在功能上建立在程序的自然设置中运行的最显着的变量，并向决策者提供可用于提高程序性能的数据。因此，该方法不受假设检验的限制。研究人员期望看到以下方面的显着差异： 1. 参与健康挑战的体育活动、营养、戒烟、确保初级保健提供者和指导部分的参与者与未参与的参与者之间的参与者结果。 2. 每个计划组成部分（身体活动、营养、戒烟、确保初级保健提供者和指导）的参与者保留率和累犯率。 3. 针对团体（团队合作）的规划和针对不作为团队成员参与的个人的规划之间的规划实施有效性。 4. 计划实施前后对身体活动、营养、吸烟、初级保健提供者和指导的态度。
