DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This planning grant proposes to use a community-based participatory research (CBPR) approach to conduct a needs assessment to plan an effective, comprehensive intervention to address the health concerns centered around obesity in the affected community of Petersburg, Virginia. While Petersburg is a community that is vastly underserved and economically distressed, it is also a community with assets that can potentially be mobilized to remediate its health disparities. A key asset is the collective recognition among the City's leadership and the many neighborhood, civic, business and community organizations of the imperative to address poor health outcomes. We propose a multipronged, mixed methods approach to address the incredibly poor health outcomes by exploring the epidemic of obesity. The Petersburg Wellness Consortium will consist of the Community Health Leadership Council (CHLC) and Wellness Ambassadors (WAs). WAs are lay persons, active community residents, men and women who are committed to improving health outcomes in their community. The methods to conduct a comprehensive needs assessment include asset mapping, focus groups, and house chats that will culminate with a large town hall meeting (N=300) with a theater arts component to disseminate the data and reach consensus on the intervention. The major research questions that will drive the needs assessment are: 1) identifying the strengths and resources that is critical for addressing obesity; 2) social-cultural perceptions of obesity; and 3 identifying interventions that are family based, community wide and that can be supported City wide to increase physical fitness and improve nutritional choices. Specific aims include establishing and evaluating the effectiveness of the Petersburg Wellness Consortium to address obesity; conducting a needs assessment informed by community input from multiple sources, and third, developing and implementing a pilot intervention that will address individual, family, community, and societal factors to galvanize the community to increase physical activity and improve nutritional choices and options that will reduce obesity. RELEVANCE (See instructions): Obesity is major health disparity concern nationally as well as in the City of Petersburg. The establishment of the Petersburg Wellness Consortium, an academic-community partnership to address obesity as a springboard to many other serious health complications has strong potential to reduce health disparities.

描述（由申请人提供）：该规划拨款建议使用基于社区的参与性研究 (CBPR) 方法进行需求评估，以规划有效、全面的干预措施，以解决弗吉尼亚州彼得堡受影响社区中围绕肥胖问题的健康问题。虽然圣彼得堡是一个服务严重不足且经济陷入困境的社区，但它也是一个拥有可以调动资产来弥补健康差距的社区。一项重要资产是纽约市领导层以及许多邻里、公民、商业和社区组织的集体认识，认为必须解决不良的健康状况。我们提出了一种多管齐下、混合方法的方法，通过探索肥胖的流行病来解决极其糟糕的健康结果。圣彼得堡健康联盟将由社区健康领导委员会 (CHLC) 和健康大使 (WA) 组成。 WA 是非专业人士、活跃的社区居民、致力于改善社区健康状况的男性和女性。进行全面需求评估的方法包括资产映射、焦点小组和家庭聊天，最后将举行大型市政厅会议（N = 300），其中包括戏剧艺术部分，以传播数据并就干预措施达成共识。推动需求评估的主要研究问题是：1）确定对于解决肥胖问题至关重要的优势和资源； 2）对肥胖的社会文化认知； 3 确定以家庭为基础、社区范围内且可在全市范围内得到支持的干预措施，以增强身体健康并改善营养选择。具体目标包括建立和评估彼得堡健康联盟解决肥胖问题的有效性；根据社区多来源的意见进行需求评估，第三，制定和实施试点干预措施，解决个人、家庭、社区和社会因素，激励社区增加体育活动，改善营养选择和减少肥胖的选择。 相关性（参见说明）：肥胖是全国以及彼得堡市主要的健康差异问题。圣彼得堡健康联盟的成立是一个学术界与学术界的合作伙伴关系，旨在解决肥胖作为许多其他严重健康并发症的跳板，具有减少健康差距的巨大潜力。
