DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This research will conduct an outcome evaluation on a promising web based obesity prevention program for 8-10 year old African American girls. A pilot study with 80 girls established its feasibility: recruitment goals were met; attrition rates were <10%; logon rates to the online program were 74.5%; and statistically significant increases in fruit and vegetable consumption and time spent being physically active were observed. The outcome evaluation will recruit 400 child-parent pairs to examine short and longer term effects of the program on obesity risk. It will also conduct mediation analyses to examine pathways of effect. At the end of the study, the web based program will be hosted on the CNRC web site. Although the use of the internet as a method for changing health behavior is not new, the use of an internet program alone, with no face to face interaction, is novel. This is one of the first programs to attempt this, particularly in an at-risk population. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The purpose of this project is to reduce health disparities in obesity risk among 8-10 year old African American girls using a culturally sensitive and developmentally appropriate internet-based program with no face-to-face interaction. This study will conduct an outcome evaluation to test short and longer term effects on obesity risk.

描述（由申请人提供）：本研究将对一项针对 8-10 岁非洲裔美国女孩的基于网络的肥胖预防计划进行结果评估。一项针对 80 名女孩的试点研究证实了其可行性：达到了招募目标；流失率<10%；在线程序的登录率为74.5%；水果和蔬菜的摄入量以及体育活动时间的统计显着增加。结果评估将招募 400 名子女与父母对来检查该计划对肥胖风险的短期和长期影响。它还将进行中介分析以检查效果途径。研究结束时，基于网络的计划将在 CNRC 网站上托管。尽管使用互联网作为改变健康行为的方法并不新鲜，但仅使用互联网程序而不进行面对面的互动是新颖的。这是最早尝试这一项目的项目之一，特别是针对高危人群。 公共健康相关性：该项目的目的是通过文化敏感且适合发育的基于互联网的项目（无需面对面互动）来减少 8-10 岁非洲裔美国女孩肥胖风险的健康差异。这项研究将进行结果评估，以测试对肥胖风险的短期和长期影响。
