DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal is designed to obtain the perspectives of 50 adolescents as well as 100 parents and community members about barriers to and effective community-based interventions for managing adolescent obesity. Obesity is the second leading cause of preventable disease in the United States and as such is a public health priority. Twenty-five percent of all adolescents are overweight or obese and of those seventy percent will become obese adults who are at risk for diabetes, hypertension, and cardiac disease. This proposal relies on the combined resources of Saint Paul's Missionary Baptist Church (serving a low income African American population), Ponderosa High School (a rural school serving a large number of Hispanic/Latino teens), California State University, Sacramento (CSUS, an EARDA school), and the Department of Family and Community Medicine at the University of California Davis (UCD, a research intensive school). Six focus groups aimed at identifying the causes of and solutions to adolescent obesity will be conducted. Phenomenology will be used to analyze the results of the focus groups and workshops will be designed based on those results. Nine workshops will be offered by CSUS' and UCD faculty members to promote healthy adolescent lifestyle choices and minimize obesity. A nationally known NIH funded researcher will also present a workshop on preventing and treating adolescent obesity. Subsequent focus groups will be held to evaluate the perspectives of teens, parents, and community leaders about the effectiveness of these 10 workshops as an intervention to minimize adolescent obesity. Planning groups will also be held to design a translational intervention grant targeting adolescent obesity. In summary, specific aims of the proposal include: 1) identifying and documenting adolescents', parents', and community leaders' views regarding the attitudes, beliefs, health behaviors, and lifestyle habits that influence adolescent eating and exercise habits, and 2) developing a translational intervention grant designed to minimize adolescent obesity at Saint Paul's Missionary Baptist Church and Ponderosa High School. These specific aims are planned to establish a community-academic partnership capable of reducing the health disparities associated with adolescent obesity in two low-income communities.

描述（由申请人提供）：该提案旨在获得50名青少年以及100名父母和社区成员的观点，以了解管理青少年肥胖症的障碍和有效的基于社区的干预措施。肥胖是美国可预防疾病的第二大原因，因此是公共卫生的重点。在所有青少年中，有25％的人超重或肥胖，其中70％的青少年将成为有糖尿病，高血压和心脏病风险的肥胖成年人。该提议依赖于圣保罗传教士浸信会教堂（为低收入的非洲裔美国人口服务），Ponderosa高中（一所乡村学校，为大量西班牙裔/拉丁裔青少年提供服务），加利福尼亚州立大学，萨克拉曼多大学，CSUS，CSUS，EARDA学校，EARDA学校），earda学校和加利福尼亚州的家庭和社区医学。旨在确定青少年肥胖症的原因和解决方案的六个焦点小组将进行。现象学将根据这些结果设计现象学分析焦点小组和研讨会的结果。 CSUS和UCD教职员工将提供九个研讨会，以促进健康的青少年生活方式选择并最大程度地减少肥胖症。全国知名的NIH资助研究人员还将举办一个关于预防和治疗青少年肥胖症的研讨会。随后的焦点小组将被举行，以评估这10个研讨会的有效性，以评估青少年，父母和社区领袖的观点，以减少青少年肥胖症的干预措施。计划小组还将举行针对青少年肥胖的转化干预赠款。总而言之，该提案的具体目的包括：1）确定和记录青少年“，父母”和社区领袖关于影响青少年饮食和运动习惯的态度，信念，健康行为以及生活方式习惯的观点，以及2）开发旨在最大程度地减少Saint Pail Pail Pail Pail Pail Pail的教育和Ponsary Paptist的transforational式干预授予。计划这些具体目标建立一个社区学术伙伴关系，能够减少两个低收入社区中与青少年肥胖相关的健康差异。
