项目摘要

inactivity contributes to health maladies including breast and colon cancers directly, and numerous other cancers indirectly, in part by contributing to obesity. Ethnic minorities report higher rates of physical inactivity and obesity. Individually-focused physical activity (PA) interventions are initially effective. Up to 50% drop out within 6 months, and maintenance continues to decline after this time. Ecological models posit that environments do not support PA impede PA maintenance. There have been few investigations testing the combined effects of supportive environments with individually focused interventions that increase PA. The purpose of the proposed study is (1) to determine whether a 24 week social cohesion intervention (SOCO) is more effective for adopting walking for leisure exercise and transport in comparison to a delayed control (CONT), (2) to determine whether walking is more effectively maintained by participants who reside in highly supportive PA areas (HIGH) in comparison to those who reside in low supportive PA areas (LOW), and (3) to determine whether this effect is transculturally replicable across 2 cultural groups from 2 cities. African American women in Houston and Hispanic women in Austin will be recruited from churches and community centers and randomized to either SOCO or CONT. Participants' neighborhoods will be classified as HIGH or LOW supportive. Participants will complete written socio demographic, walking (International Physical Activity Questionnaire), and health measures at baseline (T1), post intervention (T2), and 6 month follow-up (T3). Participants will complete accelerometer assessments as a validity check. It is hypothesized that (1) participants in SOCO will report more walking at T2 than CONT, (2) SOCO participants residing in HIGH neighborhoods will report greater minutes of walking than LOW at T3, and (3) this effect will be transculturally replicable. If supported, hypotheses will suggest that the sustained effect of SOCO strategies is moderated by environmental supports.

不活动导致了包括乳腺癌和结肠癌在内的健康疾病，直接是间接的，部分原因是有助于肥胖。少数民族报告的身体不活动和肥胖率更高。以个人为重点的体育活动（PA）干预措施最初是有效的。多达50％的人在6个月内辍学，这段时间后维护继续下降。生态模型认为，环境不支持PA阻碍PA的维护。很少有研究测试支持环境的综合效应，并具有增加PA的单独干预措施。 The purpose of the proposed study is (1) to determine whether a 24 week social cohesion intervention (SOCO) is more effective for adopting walking for leisure exercise and transport in comparison to a delayed control (CONT), (2) to determine whether walking is more effectively maintained by participants who reside in highly supportive PA areas (HIGH) in comparison to those who reside in low supportive PA areas (LOW), and (3) to determine whether this effect is transculturally replicable across 2来自两个城市的文化群体。休斯顿的非洲裔美国妇女和奥斯汀的西班牙裔妇女将从教堂和社区中心招募，并随机分为Soco或续。参与者的社区将被归类为高或低支持。参与者将在基线（T1），干预后（T2）和6个月随访（T3）时完成书面社会人口统计，步行（国际体育锻炼问卷）和健康措施。参与者将完成加速度计评估作为有效性检查。假设（1）SOCO的参与者在T2上报告的步行比续，（2）居住在高社区中的SOCO参与者将报告的步行时间比在T3处的低点，并且（3）（3）这种效果将在文化上可复制。如果得到支持，假设将表明Soco策略的持续影响会受到环境支持的调节。
