DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The dramatic increase in the prevalence of overweight and obesity during the past two decades among adults in the United States is related to increased cardiovascular disease, hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes, and other chronic diseases. With 63.9% of working-age adults employed, worksites are targets for prevention and intervention programs to control overweight and obesity. The proposed intervention is to use elementary schools as a worksite location for such a program. The proposed intervention leverages the strengths of a school-based worksite by targeting a population that is social, has access to common physical facilities, has low annual turnover rates, and is representative of a significant part of the United States labor force. The primary aim of the proposed program, ACTION!, is to reduce mean body weight by 3.0 kg (BMI by 1.0 kg/m2). Secondary aims relate to both changes at the individual level and at the environmental level. The intervention will address the two major determinants of overweight and obesity: physical activity and diet. A School Wellness Committee at each site will be instrumental in identifying and implementing components of the intervention. Proposed programs will make use of existing resources at the school site. We will also provide additional equipment and programs to meet the recommendations of the Wellness Committees. The program will be evaluated at several levels including formative and process evaluation, collection of cardiovascular risk factor data, questionnaires, and collection of eating and physical activity data. At the conclusion of the main trial, the program will be disseminated to schools in the Greater New Orleans area, and materials will be developed to further disseminate the program to interested schools nation-wide.

描述（由申请人提供）： 过去二十年来，美国成年人超重和肥胖患病率急剧上升，这与心血管疾病、高血压、血脂异常、糖尿病和其他慢性疾病的增加有关。 63.9% 的工作年龄成年人有工作，工作场所是控制超重和肥胖的预防和干预计划的目标。 拟议的干预措施是利用小学作为此类计划的工作地点。 拟议的干预措施利用了以学校为基础的工作场所的优势，针对的是具有社交性、可以使用公共物质设施、年流动率较低且代表美国劳动力很大一部分的人群。 拟议计划“行动！”的主要目标是将平均体重减少 3.0 公斤（BMI 减少 1.0 公斤/平方米）。次要目标涉及个人层面和环境层面的变化。 该干预措施将解决超重和肥胖的两个主要决定因素：体力活动和饮食。 每个地点的学校健康委员会将有助于确定和实施干预措施的组成部分。 拟议的计划将利用学校现有的资源。我们还将提供额外的设备和计划，以满足健康委员会的建议。 该计划将在多个层面进行评估，包括形成和过程评估、心血管危险因素数据的收集、问卷调查以及饮食和身体活动数据的收集。 主要试验结束后，该计划将被传播到大新奥尔良地区的学校，并将开发材料以进一步将该计划传播到全国范围内感兴趣的学校。
