DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This Phase II SBIR will fully develop and validate the Healthy Eating Self-Monitoring Tool (HEST), a CD-ROM-mediated food record for measuring fruit and vegetable consumption among economically disadvantaged Black adolescents aged 11 though 14 years. Drawing from Phase I outcome data and current best practices in dietary assessment, Phase II will document planned revisions to the prototype HEST developed in Phase I of this research. Planned revisions will undergo review by a panel of professionals with expertise in dietary assessment and focus groups of adolescents, representative of the target population. Feedback provided by these referents will inform plans to fully develop the measure. The fully developed HEST will be programmed for CD-ROM-mediated delivery. In a randomized repeated measures control-group design, the performance of the HEST relative tactual intake and intake measured via 3-day food records will be examined. Recruited through social service agencies across greater New York City, a sample of 300 informed and consenting youths will be randomized to experimental and control study arms. Groups of participants will be served breakfast, lunch, and dinner meals over a consecutive 3-day period. Following meals, experimental-arm youths will record their fruit and vegetable consumption using the HEST. Control-arm youths will record their intakes using 3-day food records. Data provided by youths will be used to establish the criterion-related and convergent validity and test-retest reliability of the HEST. Should Phase II prove successful, Phase III will entail dissemination of the HEST to schools and social service agencies such as those participating in this research and development effort. The fully developed measure is intended for use as a self-monitoring tool in health promotion programs designed to increase fruit and vegetable consumption among economically disadvantaged Black adolescents.

描述（由申请人提供）： 这一II期SBIR将充分开发和验证健康饮食自我监控工具（HEST），这是一种CD-ROM介导的食物记录，用于测量经济不利的黑人青少年在11岁以下的经济不利的黑人青少年中，尽管14岁。从I期结果数据和饮食评估中的当前最佳实践中绘制，第二阶段将记录计划的修订对本研究第一阶段的原型HEST。计划的修订将由一群专业人士进行审查，这些专业人员在饮食评估方面具有专业知识，而焦点是青少年的焦点，代表了目标人群。这些参考人提供的反馈将告知计划以充分制定措施。完全开发的HEST将被编程用于CD-ROM介导的输送。 在随机重复的措施控制组设计中，将检查通过3天食物记录测量的Hest相对触发摄入量和摄入量的性能。通过纽约大纽约市的社会服务机构招募，将有300名知情和同意年轻人的样本随机分为实验和对照研究组。一组参与者将连续为期3天提供早餐，午餐和晚餐。饭后，实验武器青年将使用HEST记录其水果和蔬菜消费量。 Control-Arm青年将使用3天的食物记录记录其摄入量。年轻人提供的数据将用于建立HEST的标准相关和收敛的有效性和重新测试可靠性。如果第二阶段证明成功，第三阶段将使Hest将Hest传播给参与这项研究和发展工作的学校和社会服务机构。完全开发的措施旨在用作健康促进计划中的自我监控工具，旨在增加经济不利的黑人青少年的水果和蔬菜消费。
