DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This Phase II SBIR application proposes the development of an interactive, web-based nutrition and physical activity (PA) program, called www.JiveforFive.com, to be offered to adolescents ages 14 to 18 through strategic distribution channels including schools, health insurers, and personal health management programs for individuals and families. This program is based on the 5-A-Day for Better Health Program and the USDA guidelines for nutrition and physical activity, as well as theories of behavior change, social learning, and adolescent development. It is well established that poor dietary intake, minimal fruit and vegetable (FandV) consumption, excessive sweetened beverage intake, and low frequency of physical activity increase the risk for obesity and serious health concerns, including cancer, diabetes, and heart disease. Obesity prevention initiatives are critical, as the percentage of overweight children has nearly quadrupled over the past three decades. Current efforts in nutrition and PA education have either met with limited success, or when successful, have involved a tremendous amount of resources. The proposed Phase II product will be tested in schools as (1) adolescents spend the majority of their day in educational settings, and (2) schools are increasingly limiting access to health and PA programs due to budget cuts and reallocation of resources. Notably, gaps in targeted education for the older adolescent and diminishing resources in high schools place the responsibility on the teen, parents or health insurers to address prevention/intervention efforts. Thus, there is a need for evidence-based nutrition and PA programs that are versatile, economical and easily integrated into the lifestyles of older adolescents. Thus, JiveforFive.com will serve as a comprehensive and convenient healthy lifestyle program for millions of adolescents across a variety of settings. The NIDDK omnibus solicitation (PA-07-280) supports the development of computerized interventions for increasing physical activity as well as assessing energy intake in the prevention of obesity. JiveforFive.com capitalizes on computer programming algorithms to personalize and tailor nutrition and PA information to meet the current needs of each adolescent, while providing developmentally appropriate and appealing content in the area of body image. Social networking and interactive games address both the importance of peers for adolescents and the high appeal of computer-based games, in an effort to engage adolescents in the learning process. JiveforFive.com will integrate the use of wireless activity monitors to further enhance motivational and self-management aspects of the web-based program and increase rates of physical activity. If JiveforFive.com demonstrates effectiveness when it is fully developed in Phase II, it is likely that teens, parents, school personnel, and health insurers would regard it as a cost-effective way to provide nutrition and PA education for high school-aged adolescents. Public Health Relevance: JiveforFive.com addresses a key public health issue of obesity prevention among adolescents ages 14-18 by focusing on nutrition education, physical activity motivation, and body image concerns through the use of a web-based program utilizing algorithms to personalize and tailor health goals.

描述（由申请人提供）：第二阶段 SBIR 申请建议开发一个交互式、基于网络的营养和体育活动 (PA) 计划，名为 www.JiveforFive.com，通过战略分发向 14 至 18 岁的青少年提供渠道包括学校、健康保险公司以及针对个人和家庭的个人健康管理计划。该计划基于“每天 5 日改善健康计划”和美国农业部营养和身体活动指南，以及行为改变、社会学习和青少年发展理论。众所周知，饮食摄入不足、水果和蔬菜 (FandV) 摄入量极少、甜饮料摄入过多以及体力活动频率低会增加肥胖和严重健康问题的风险，包括癌症、糖尿病和心脏病。肥胖预防举措至关重要，因为超重儿童的比例在过去三十年中几乎增加了四倍。目前在营养和 PA 教育方面的努力要么取得了有限的成功，要么取得了成功，需要投入大量资源。拟议的第二阶段产品将在学校进行测试，因为 (1) 青少年一天中的大部分时间都在教育环境中度过，(2) 由于预算削减和资源重新分配，学校越来越多地限制获得健康和 PA 计划。值得注意的是，针对年龄较大青少年的针对性教育方面的差距以及高中资源的不断减少，使得青少年、家长或健康保险公司有责任解决预防/干预工作。因此，需要基于证据的营养和 PA 计划，这些计划是通用的、经济的并且易于融入老年青少年的生活方式。因此，JiveforFive.com 将为数百万不同环境的青少年提供全面、便捷的健康生活方式计划。 NIDDK 综合征集 (PA-07-280) 支持开发计算机化干预措施，以增加身体活动以及评估能量摄入以预防肥胖。 JiveforFive.com 利用计算机编程算法来个性化和定制营养和 PA 信息，以满足每个青少年当前的需求，同时在身体形象领域提供适合发育且有吸引力的内容。社交网络和互动游戏既强调了青少年同伴的重要性，又强调了电脑游戏的巨大吸引力，努力让青少年参与学习过程。 JiveforFive.com 将整合无线活动监视器的使用，以进一步增强基于网络的计划的激励和自我管理方面，并提高身体活动率。如果 JiveforFive.com 在第二阶段完全开发后表现出有效性，那么青少年、家长、学校工作人员和健康保险公司可能会认为它是为高中青少年提供营养和 PA 教育的一种经济高效的方式。公共卫生相关性：JiveforFive.com 通过使用基于网络的程序，利用算法来个性化和调整营养教育、体育活动动机和身体形象问题，解决 14-18 岁青少年肥胖预防的关键公共卫生问题。定制健康目标。
