PROJECT SUMMARY 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.

项目概要 这项研究将对基于网络的肥胖预防方法进行结果评估 为 8-10 岁非裔美国女孩开设的项目。一项对 80 名女孩进行的试点研究表明， 可行性：达到招聘目标；流失率<10%；在线登录率 计划为74.5%；水果和蔬菜消费量在统计上显着增加 观察身体活动所花费的时间。成果评价将招募400名 儿童与父母配对，检查该计划对肥胖风险的短期和长期影响。它将 还进行中介分析以检查效果途径。研究结束时， 基于网络的程序将在 CNRC 网站上托管。尽管使用互联网作为 改变健康行为的方法并不新鲜，仅使用互联网程序，无需 面对面的互动，很新颖。这是第一个尝试这样做的项目，特别是在 高危人群。
