DESCRIPTION FOR CENTER APPLICATION (provided by the investigator): This is an application for the Prevention Research Center (PRC) at Tulane University. The mission of the PRC is to identify and address the physical and social environmental factors influencing the obesity epidemic, with the overall goal of reducing obesity and it associated health problems. We will do this through participatory research, community engagement, communication and dissemination, local policy and advocacy, and training. The target community is the city of New Orleans, with a particular focus on low-income persons, most of whom are African-American. The PRC proposes as its core research project to conduct a neighborhood intervention trial that changes the "food environment". The specific aims of this project are to determine whether improving the types of foods available at small neighborhood "corner stores" improves the healthfulness of diet and reduces weight gain in persons living nearby. The trial will include two intervention neighborhoods and one comparison neighborhood that are matched on socio-demographics and number of "corner stores". Evaluation will include measurement of food sales in neighborhood stores and neighborhood surveys to assess diet and body weight. CENTER CRITIQUES

中心申请说明（由研究者提供）：这是杜兰大学预防研究中心（PRC）的申请。中国的使命是识别和解决影响肥胖流行的物理和社会环境因素，总体目标是减少肥胖及其相关的健康问题。我们将通过参与性研究、社区参与、沟通和传播、地方政策和宣传以及培训来做到这一点。目标社区是新奥尔良市，特别关注低收入者，其中大多数是非洲裔美国人。中华人民共和国提出的核心研究项目是进行改变“食品环境”的邻里干预试验。该项目的具体目标是确定改善小社区“街角商店”提供的食品种类是否能改善饮食的健康性并减少附近居民的体重增加。该试验将包括两个干预社区和一个比较社区，这些社区在社会人口统计学和“街角商店”数量上相匹配。评估将包括测量社区商店的食品销售和社区调查，以评估饮食和体重。 中心评论
