Abstract One in three youth in the United States are overweight, and 85% of all overweight youth have at least one Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) risk factor that increases their chance of developing cardiovascular disease. Comprehensive school- and evidence-based interventions (EBIs) that focus on students’ physical activity and fruit and vegetable consumption can reduce a school’s prevalence of overweight students by up to 8%. Additionally, multi-level interventions that target school health environments may be more effective than interventions that focus on individuals alone. Currently, there is an absence of multi-level EBIs for middle school students that address both physical activity and healthy eating behaviors and environments. Strong Teens for Healthy Schools Change Club (STHS-CC) is a novel, multi-level, and theory-based civic engagement program that equips and supports middle school students in racially/ethnically diverse, Title 1 middle schools to make a positive food and physical activity environmental change and personally engage in physical activity and healthy eating behaviors to reduce their MetS risk. This study utilizes a community advisory board to engage Cooperative Extension agents, 4-H staff, school administrators, teachers, and students in the refinement of STHS-CC for the middle school setting. Once refined, the community advisory board oversees the delivery and testing of STHS-CC using traditional and collaborative data analysis processes (e.g., Photovoice) in a pilot cluster-randomized controlled trial (n=20 schools; 20-25 participants per school). At the individual level, this study tests STHS-CC’s effectiveness for improving students’ MetS risk factors and positive youth development outcomes (i.e., competence, confidence, character, connection, and caring). At the social level, this study evaluates peers’ support for and participation in physical activity and healthy eating behaviors. At the environmental level, this study evaluates the physical, situational, and policy aspects of schools’ physical activity and nutrition environments. Long-term, the goal of this body of work is to motivate middle school students to improve their physical activity and nutrition behaviors and environments through a student led EBI that is part of a collection of comprehensive school-based health promotion programs. If effective, STHSCC has the potential to be disseminated through schools, Cooperative Extension networks, and 4-H organizations statewide and nationally.

抽象的 美国三分之一的青少年超重，85% 的超重青少年至少有一个 代谢综合征 (MetS) 危险因素会增加患心血管疾病的风险。 全面的学校和基于证据的干预措施 (EBI)，重点关注学生的身体活动和 食用水果和蔬菜可以将学校超重学生的比例降低高达 8%。 此外，针对学校健康环境的多层次干预措施可能比 仅关注个人的干预措施。目前，中产阶级缺乏多层次的 EBI。 学生既要关注体育活动，又要关注健康的饮食行为和环境。强的 青少年健康学校变革俱乐部 (STHS-CC) 是一个新颖的、多层次的、基于理论的公民参与 为种族/民族多元化、Title 1 中学的中学生提供装备和支持的计划 做出积极的食物和身体活动环境改变并亲自参与身体活动 和健康的饮食行为，以降低代谢综合征风险。本研究利用社区咨询委员会来 让合作推广代理、4-H 工作人员、学校管理人员、教师和学生参与到 针对中学环境完善 STHS-CC。一旦完善，社区咨询委员会将进行监督 使用传统和协作数据分析流程（例如， Photovoice）在一项试点整群随机对照试验中（n=20 所学校；每所学校 20-25 名参与者）。在 在个人层面，本研究测试了 STHS-CC 在改善学生 MetS 风险因素和积极影响方面的有效性 青年发展成果（即能力、信心、性格、联系和关怀）。在社会上 该研究评估了同龄人对体育活动和健康饮食行为的支持和参与。 在环境层面，本研究评估了学校物理环境的物理、情境和政策方面。 活动和营养环境。从长远来看，这项工作的目标是激励中学 学生通过学生主导的方式改善他们的身体活动和营养行为和环境 EBI 是一系列基于学校的综合健康促进计划的一部分。如果有效，STHS CC 有可能通过学校、合作推广网络和 4-H 进行传播 全州和全国范围内的组织。
