DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): AltaMed Health Services and the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) are proposing to implement a research project aimed at understanding and identifying best practice strategies for working with low-income, Latino families on the issue of childhood obesity. The overall goal of the proposed project is to employ a Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) model in the Boyle Heights Community of Los Angeles, California that will assist residents in creating an environment that supports healthy behaviors to reduce obesity. The Community Generating Research to Prevent Obesity Project (C-GROw) will bring together residents and stakeholders to identify community perceptions about obesity, community strengths and resources, potential strategies for implementation and identify partnerships. The development of common goals and objectives will guide the work of the partnerships. Aim 1: University of California, Los Angeles School of Medicine and AltaMed Health Services Corporation will enter into an MOU establishing a partnership that will focus on engaging the community members of Boyle Heights in identifying the assets and the strategies that will prevent and reduce the prevalence of pediatric and adolescent obesity in their community. Aim 2: Leverage the working relationships between AltaMed Health Services Corporation and UCLA in the Boyle Heights community to identify and assemble advisory board members who will plan two conferences a year over the next two years. The board is made up of organizations and individuals with the willingness, mission, capacity, and cultural competency to attract and reach a diverse range of community members, from varied backgrounds, neighborhoods, and social economic statuses in order to participate in the C-GROw community based participatory research project. Aim 3: Identify and understand the community's perceived causes of, and suggested strategies to prevent and reduce the prevalence of childhood and adolescent obesity, and its impact on co- morbid conditions, as well as identify the community strengths to achieve these strategies, utilizing the community based participatory research model during the planning sessions and conferences. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The C-GROw Project targets Latinos who are at high risk for obesity and associated comorbidities. This project will add to the body of research on the perceptions of low-income Latinos about obesity and strategies for combating this epidemic at the community-level. In the long-term, the outcomes of the research will improve understanding of Latino cultural patterns around health behaviors and health beliefs to guide the development of successful obesity prevention strategies.

描述（由申请人提供）：Altamed Health Services和加利福尼亚大学洛杉矶（UCLA）提议实施一个研究项目，旨在理解和确定与低收入，拉丁裔家庭在儿童肥胖问题上合作的最佳实践策略。拟议项目的总体目标是在加利福尼亚州洛杉矶的Boyle Heights社区中采用基于社区的参与研究（CBPR）模型，该模型将帮助居民创造一个支持健康行为以减少肥胖症的环境。社区生成的研究以防止肥胖项目（C-GROW）召集居民和利益相关者，以确定社区对肥胖，社区优势和资源的看法，实施的潜在策略和确定伙伴关系。共同目标和目标的发展将指导伙伴关系的工作。 AIM 1：加利福尼亚大学，洛杉矶医学院和Altamed Health Services Corporation将建立​​一个建立合作伙伴关系的谅解备忘录，该伙伴关系将着重于吸引博伊尔高地的社区成员，以确定可以预防和降低社区中儿科和青少年肥胖症的资产和策略。 AIM 2：利用Boyle Heights社区中Altamed Health Services Corporation和UCLA之间的工作关系来识别和组装顾问委员会成员，他们将在未来两年内每年计划两次会议。董事会由具有意愿，使命，能力和文化能力的组织和个人组成，以吸引和达到各种各样的社区成员，从各种背景，社区和社会经济地位，以便参与基于C的社区的参与性研究项目。目标3：确定并理解社区的理解原因，并提出了预防和降低儿童和青少年肥胖症的盛行，并在计划会议和会议期间利用社区基于社区的参与研究模型来确定实现这些策略的社区优势。 公共卫生相关性：C-GROW项目针对的是有肥胖和相关合并症高风险的拉丁美洲人。该项目将增加对低收入拉丁美洲人对肥胖症的看法的研究，并在社区级别打击这种流行病的策略。从长远来看，研究的结果将提高对健康行为和健康信念的拉丁裔文化模式的理解，以指导成功的肥胖预防策略的发展。
