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. Background: The prevalence of overweight among children has tripled over the last 20 years. Recent studies have shown the prevalence of overweight is even higher in Hawaii, especially among Native Hawaiian and other Pacific Island children (Baruffi, 2005, Okihiro 2004). This is worrisome because Native Hawaiians and other Pacific Islander adults already suffer disproportionately from obesity-related illnesses including diabetes, cardiovascular disease and cancer (Dept. of Health 2005, CDC 2005). Programs and studies of childhood obesity and prevention programs have shown little success. One of the factors involved in the high prevalence of overweight in Hawaiians and other Pacific Islanders may be an acceptance of large body size. Other factors and barriers to healthy lifestyles in teens are unknown. But these factors and barriers to a healthy lifestyle are important because few studies published to date have shown significant impact to weight status (Cochrane 2005). Specific Aims: Our aim is to compare and explore perspectives about body size, food-related behavior, and exercise attitudes among teens. Methods: This is a descriptive, cross-sectional study of teens in Hawaii, ages 12 to 19 years. The study will be conducted using an anonymous survey exploring perceptions about weight, body image, healthy lifestyles, and eating behavior. The survey takes about 5 minutes to complete. The survey instrument was created by combining pertinent questions from several different validated instruments including the national and the WHO's (World Health Organization's) cross national survey, Health Behavior in School-Aged Children (HBSC). Recruitment: Adolescents will be recruited from Oahu high schools that have given us a letter of support for our project.

该子项目是利用该技术的众多研究子项目之一 资源由 NIH/NCRR 资助的中心拨款提供。子项目和 研究者 (PI) 可能已从 NIH 的另一个来源获得主要资金， 因此可以在其他 CRISP 条目中表示。列出的机构是 对于中心来说，它不一定是研究者的机构。 背景： 过去 20 年来，儿童超重的患病率增加了两倍。 最近的研究表明，夏威夷的超重患病率甚至更高，尤其是夏威夷原住民和其他太平洋岛屿儿童（Baruffi，2005，Okihiro 2004）。 这是令人担忧的，因为夏威夷原住民和其他太平洋岛民成年人已经不成比例地患有与肥胖相关的疾病，包括糖尿病、心血管疾病和癌症（Dept. of Health 2005，CDC 2005）。 儿童肥胖和预防计划的计划和研究收效甚微。 夏威夷人和其他太平洋岛民超重率高的因素之一可能是对大体型的接受。 青少年健康生活方式的其他因素和障碍尚不清楚。 但这些因素和健康生活方式的障碍很重要，因为迄今为止发表的研究很少表明对体重状况有重大影响（Cochrane 2005）。 具体目标： 我们的目的是比较和探索青少年对身体尺寸、食物相关行为和运动态度的看法。 方法： 这是一项针对夏威夷 12 至 19 岁青少年的描述性横断面研究。 该研究将采用匿名调查的方式进行，探讨人们对体重、身体形象、健康生活方式和饮食行为的看法。 该调查大约需要 5 分钟才能完成。 该调查工具是通过结合来自几个不同的经过验证的工具的相关问题而创建的，包括国家和世界卫生组织（WHO）的跨国家调查学龄儿童健康行为（HBSC）。 招聘： 将从向我们提供项目支持信的欧胡岛高中招募青少年。
