Web-based 5 A Day Education for College Campuses

描述（由申请人提供）：需要新的方法来帮助大学生发展终身健康行为，以降低他们患癌症的风险。在美国，大学生使用互联网的人数比其他任何人都多，使交互式网络技术成为向这一目标群体提供健康教育的一个有希望的来源。这个第二阶段项目的目的是为大学适龄学生制作和评估一个互动的基于网络的5 A Day营养和体育活动计划，并为学生健康专业人员提供资源工具。校园网络计划的5天将与大学学生健康服务提供的网络计划相结合，以激励特殊的饮食和体育活动行为。Klein Escherdel，Inc. (KB)将根据对第一阶段所作原型的评估设计和制作程序。具体目标是：制作一个基于网络的营养教育计划，包括健康促进培训、营养教育资源和针对大学卫生专业人员的互动功能，以及在线膳食评估、5A日营养教育模块和针对大学生的互动功能;并在四所大学校园招募700多名学生参加随机对照预测试/后测试验，以评估该计划在增加水果和蔬菜消费和增加体力活动方面的有效性。这项研究将评估在线计划的能力，以增加用户的知识，良好的态度，以及关于吃更多的水果和蔬菜，并参与提高身体活动水平的感知规范。该试验将评估该计划是否对用户的水果和蔬菜消费以及参与体育活动产生积极影响。该试验将由KB与亚利桑那大学、科罗拉多州立大学、科罗拉多大学、圣地亚哥州立大学、更好健康基金会和Bacchus & Gamma同伴教育网络合作领导。5 A Day on Campus将建立在KB的5 A Day at Work基于网络的工作场所营养计划的计划设计基础上。需要新的项目来帮助大学生培养健康的行为，这将降低他们在以后的生活中患癌症和心脏病等疾病的风险。5校园一天将与大学学生健康服务提供的网络计划相结合，以激励从家庭到大学过渡期间的特殊饮食和体育活动行为。该基于网络的计划将包括a）在线评估、营养教育和体育活动模块、本地化资源、目标设定和行为改变指导，以及针对大学生（尤其是新生）的互动工具和功能; B）在线营养和体育活动教育资源以及针对大学生健康专业人员的互动交流功能。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): New approaches are needed to help college students develop lifelong health behaviors to decrease their risk of cancer. College students use the Internet more than any other population in the U.S., making interactive web technology a promising source for delivering health education to this target group. The purpose of this Phase II project is to produce and evaluate an interactive web-based 5 A Day nutrition and physical activity program for college-aged students and to provide resource tools for student health professionals. The 5 A Day on Campus web program will be integrated with the web programs offered by university Student Health Services to motivate exceptional dietary and physical activity behavior. Klein Buendel, Inc. (KB) will design and produce the program based on the evaluation of prototypes authored in Phase I. The specific aims are to: produce a web-based nutrition education program with health promotion training, nutrition education resources and interactive features for college health professionals and online dietary assessments, 5 A Day nutrition education modules, and interactive features for college students; and recruit 700+ students on four university campuses to participate in a randomized controlled pretest/posttest trial to evaluate the effectiveness of the program at increasing consumption of fruits and vegetables and increasing physical activity. This study will evaluate the ability of the online program to increase users' knowledge of, favorable attitudes towards, and perceived norms regarding eating more fruits and vegetables and participating in enhanced levels of physical activity. The trial will assess whether the program had a positive impact on users' consumption of fruits and vegetables and participation in physical activity. The trial will be led by KB in partnership with University of Arizona, Colorado State University, University of Colorado, San Diego State University, The Produce for Better Health Foundation and the Bacchus & Gamma Peer Education Network. 5 A Day on Campus will build upon the program design of KB's 5 A Day at Work web-based workplace nutrition program. New programs are needed to help college students develop health behaviors which will lower their risk of developing diseases such as cancer and heart disease later in life. 5 A Day on Campus will be integrated with web programs offered by university Student Health Services to motivate exceptional dietary and physical activity behavior during the transition from home to college. The web-based program will include a) online assessments, nutrition education and physical activity modules, localized resources, goal-setting and behavior change guidance, and interactive tools and features for college students, particularly freshman; b) online nutrition and physical activity education resources and interactive communication features for university student health professionals.
