DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This research will conduct an outcome evaluation on a promising web based obesity prevention program for 8-10 year old African American girls. A pilot study with 80 girls established its feasibility: recruitment goals were met; attrition rates were <10%; logon rates to the online program were 74.5%; and statistically significant increases in fruit and vegetable consumption and time spent being physically active were observed. The outcome evaluation will recruit 400 child-parent pairs to examine short and longer term effects of the program on obesity risk. It will also conduct mediation analyses to examine pathways of effect. At the end of the study, the web based program will be hosted on the CNRC web site. Although the use of the internet as a method for changing health behavior is not new, the use of an internet program alone, with no face to face interaction, is novel. This is one of the first programs to attempt this, particularly in an at-risk population. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The purpose of this project is to reduce health disparities in obesity risk among 8-10 year old African American girls using a culturally sensitive and developmentally appropriate internet-based program with no face-to-face interaction. This study will conduct an outcome evaluation to test short and longer term effects on obesity risk.

描述（由申请人提供）：这项研究将对8-10岁的非裔美国女孩的有前途的基于Web的肥胖计划进行结果评估。一项与80个女孩的试点研究确定了其可行性：实现了招聘目标；损耗率<10％；在线计划的登录率为74.5％；观察到果实和蔬菜消费量的统计学意义以及观察到体育活动所花费的时间。结果评估将招募400对儿童对，以检查该计划对肥胖风险的短期和长期影响。它还将进行调解分析以检查效果途径。在研究结束时，基于Web的程序将托管在CNRC网站上。尽管将互联网用作改变健康行为的方法并不是什么新鲜事，但仅使用互联网程序就不会面对面互动，这是新颖的。这是最早尝试此操作的计划之一，尤其是在高危人群中。 公共卫生相关性：该项目的目的是使用具有文化敏感且基于发展的基于互联网的计划，而没有面对面的互动，以减少8-10岁的非洲裔美国女孩肥胖风险的健康差异。这项研究将进行结果评估，以测试对肥胖风险的短期和长期影响。
