项目摘要

Project Summary/Abstract Early adulthood is a significant period of risk for the development of obesity and excessive weight gain. Gender and race disparities in the prevalence of obesity become apparent in the transition between adolescence and adulthood, with young adult African American women exhibiting the highest prevalence of obesity. As behaviors established during young adult years are likely to persist in adulthood and because African American women have the highest prevalence of obesity and are at highest risk for weight gain during this time, young adulthood is a prime intervention target for establishing healthy behaviors related to weight management and preventing weight gain within this population. Social influences are an important factor in weight management behaviors. The social undermining of weight management behaviors can be defined as social interactions or events that threaten goal attainment of weight management behaviors (i.e., certain eating behaviors or physical activity), whether intentional or not. Social undermining is prevalent and may be more prevalent among young adults due to a heightened involvement in a variety of social environments and groups. Social undermining is an important intervention target as it may lead to dietary and exercise lapses, which may create energy imbalances and contribute to weight gain. However, social undermining remains under- addressed in weight management interventions. The characteristics of undermining may differ across communities, and African American women may experience different types of undermining or respond differently to undermining due to various cultural factors (e.g., body image, high cultural value of traditional foods). However, few studies have examined the experience or effects of undermining behaviors in African American women. The combination of this evidence suggests that there is a need to better understand the characteristics of social undermining related to weight management behaviors in young adult African American women who are trying to lose or maintain weight. Doing so will be a necessary first step for designing strategies for responding to social undermining in future weight loss or weight gain prevention interventions. Thus, the currently proposed study seeks to characterize the experience of and response to social undermining among African American young women, including examining associations with dietary and physical activity lapses, using a mixed-method approach combining ecological momentary assessment (EMA) methods with individual qualitative interviews.

项目概要/摘要成年早期是发生肥胖和体重过度增加的重要风险时期。性别肥胖患病率的种族差异在青春期和青春期之间变得明显成年期，年轻的非洲裔美国女性肥胖率最高。作为年轻时建立的行为很可能会持续到成年，并且因为非裔美国人女性肥胖患病率最高，并且在此期间体重增加的风险最高，年轻人成年期是建立与体重管理和健康相关的健康行为的主要干预目标防止该人群体重增加。社会影响是体重管理行为的重要因素。体重对社会的破坏管理行为可以定义为威胁体重目标实现的社交互动或事件管理行为（即某些饮食行为或体力活动），无论是有意还是无意。社会的破坏行为很普遍，并且由于更多地参与其中，在年轻人中可能更为普遍各种社会环境和群体。社会破坏是一个重要的干预目标，因为它可能导致饮食和运动失误，从而可能造成能量失衡并导致体重增加。然而，社会破坏仍然存在体重管理干预措施中得到解决。破坏的特征可能因不同的国家而异社区和非裔美国妇女可能会经历不同类型的破坏或应对与由于各种文化因素（例如身体形象、传统文化的高文化价值）而破坏不同食品）。然而，很少有研究考察非洲人破坏行为的经历或影响。美国妇女。这些证据的结合表明，有必要更好地了解与年轻非洲裔美国女性体重管理行为相关的社会破坏试图减肥或保持体重。这样做将是设计应对策略的必要的第一步未来减肥或体重增加预防干预措施中的社会破坏。因此，目前拟议的研究旨在描述非洲人遭受社会破坏的经历和应对措施美国年轻女性，包括检查与饮食和身体活动失误的关联，使用将生态瞬时评估（EMA）方法与个体方法相结合的混合方法定性访谈。
