DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Despite the increase in overweight and obesity in adolescents, there are few evidence-based clinical treatment programs that address weight loss and healthy weight maintenance in this population. Researchers associated with the San Diego Center for Health Interventions, LLC have over 12 years experience designing and testing interventions to improve physical activity and eating behaviors, and have created computer and web-based programs to deliver individually-tailored interventions to a variety of populations, including overweight adolescents. The purpose of this Phase I SBIR project is to finalize the development of a weight control intervention that physicians can offer their adolescent patients - PACEi-OK (Internet PACE for Overweight Kids). This intervention integrates: a) brief on-line instruction for health care providers about how to use and "prescribe" PACEi-OK; and b) an individualized, web-based weight control program they can offer to their adolescent patients and their parents. PACEi- OK enables physicians to offer a specific service to their overweight patients and then engages adolescents for a full year in specific weight control activities they and their parents can take as they follow their doctor's advice to lose excess weight and maintain a healthy weight through adolescence. We will perform two sets of activities over a 6-month period of time: 1) adapting existing paper-based provider training materials to a web-based format and integrating this with our current web-based programs addressing weight related behaviors of physical activity and diet in adolescents and their families; and 2) two rounds of formative work, first with 3 focus groups of 8 healthcare providers to provide input on the provider training component; second, beta testing the combined PACEi-OK product with 4 physicians, each learning about PACEi-OK via the system and then using it with two of their patients. Input from this formative research will then guide creation of the final product to be tested for effectiveness in Phase II. The PACEi-OK intervention is particularly innovative because its components--standardized online training for providers, web assessment and behavior change planning for patients and their parents, and the ongoing web-based intervention- are unified through a common theoretical and behavioral framework.

描述（由申请人提供）：尽管青少年超重和肥胖的增加，但很少有基于证据的临床治疗计划可以解决该人群中体重减轻和健康体重的维持。与圣地亚哥卫生干预中心有限责任公司有关的研究人员拥有超过12年的设计和测试干预措施以改善体育锻炼和饮食行为的经验，并创建了基于计算机和网络的计划，以向包括超重青少年在内的各种人群提供单独计算的干预措施。 I阶段SBIR项目的目的是最终确定医生可以为青少年患者提供体重控制干预措施的开发-Pacei -OK（超重儿童的互联网节奏）。此干预措施整合：a）有关医疗保健提供者的简短在线指导，以了解如何使用和“开处方” PACEI-OK； b）他们可以为青少年患者及其父母提供的个性化的，基于网络的体重控制程序。 Pacei-Ok使医生能够为超重患者提供特定的服务，然后让青少年整整一年参加他们和父母可以接受的特定体重控制活动，因为他们遵循医生的建议，以减轻体重，并通过青少年保持健康的体重。 我们将在6个月的时间内执行两组活动：1）将现有的基于纸张的提供商培训材料调整为基于Web的格式，并将其与当前基于Web的程序相结合，以解决青少年及其家人的体育活动和饮食与体重相关的行为； 2）两轮形成性工作，首先是3个焦点小组，由8个医疗保健提供者提供，以提供有关提供者培训部分的意见；其次，Beta测试了与4位医生一起测试合并的PACEI-OK产品，每个医生都通过系统学习了有关Pacei-OK的研究，然后与两名患者一起使用。然后，这项形成性研究的输入将指导创建最终产品，以测试II期有效性。 PACEI OK干预尤其是创新的，因为其组件（用于提供者的标准在线培训，针对患者及其父母的网络评估和行为改变计划以及持续的基于Web的干预措施）是通过共同的理论和行为框架统一的。
