DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Physical activity reduces morbidity and mortality from many chronic conditions including coronary heart disease, hypertension, and diabetes. Increasing physical activity in the United States is a specific goal of Healthy People 2010. The Surgeon General's report on physical activity specified that researchers should examine correlates of physical activity among different racial/ethnic populations. Cambodian Americans experience disparities for multiple health problems that are related to lack of physical activity. Further, Asian American groups (including Cambodian Americans) have lower levels of adherence to physical activity guidelines than other racial/ethnic groups. However, there is a lack of information about factors that influence physical activity among Asians in general, and Cambodians in particular. Qualitative and quantitative methods should both be used to examine determinants of preventive health practices in Southeast Asian and other immigrant groups. The goal of this exploratory project is to provide information about physical activity among adult Cambodian Americans that could be used to develop culturally and linguistically appropriate physical activity interventions. Our primary objectives are as follows: To provide qualitative data relevant to the promotion of physical activity; and to provide quantitative data about physical activity knowledge, beliefs, and practices, as well as correlates of physical activity. A secondary objective is to assess the feasibility and acceptability of measuring actual physical activity in the Cambodian community. A premise of the proposed research is that cultural, social, and environmental factors contribute to physical activity in the Cambodian community. Our community-based participatory research project will be conducted in the Seattle metropolitan area of Western Washington. An existing coalition of Cambodian community leaders will serve as the community advisory board for the proposed research. The study will use the theoretical perspective of the Health Behavior Framework. Our qualitative and quantitative study phases will be conducted sequentially. We will complete 20 in-person qualitative interviews and four focus groups addressing physical activity in the Cambodian community. Our qualitative data findings will be used to guide the development of a quantitative survey instrument. A community-based telephone survey of 250 Cambodian adults will be completed. Physical activity will be objectively measured in a sub- sample of 50 survey participants. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: This exploratory project will provide qualitative and quantitative information about physical activity among adult Cambodian Americans. The information could be used to develop culturally and linguistically appropriate physical activity educational materials and intervention programs.

描述（由申请人提供）：体育活动可降低许多慢性病，包括冠心病，高血压和糖尿病的发病率和死亡率。在美国的体育锻炼增加是2010年健康人的特定目标。外科医生关于体育活动的报告指定研究人员应检查不同种族/族裔人群之间体育活动的相关性。柬埔寨美国人因缺乏体育锻炼而导致多种健康问题的差异。此外，与其他种族/族裔群体相比，亚裔美国人（包括柬埔寨美国人）对体育活动指南的遵守水平较低。但是，缺乏有关影响一般亚洲人的体育活动的因素，尤其是柬埔寨人。定性和定量方法均应用于检查东南亚和其他移民群体中预防健康实践的决定因素。该探索性项目的目的是提供有关成年柬埔寨美国人体育活动的信息，这些信息可用于在文化和语言上适当的体育锻炼干预措施。我们的主要目标如下：提供与促进体育活动有关的定性数据；并提供有关身体活动知识，信念和实践以及体育锻炼相关的定量数据。次要目标是评估测量柬埔寨社区实际体育活动的可行性和可接受性。拟议的研究的前提是，文化，社会和环境因素有助于柬埔寨社区的体育活动。我们的社区参与研究项目将在华盛顿西部的西雅图大都会地区进行。现有的柬埔寨社区领导人联盟将担任拟议研究的社区顾问委员会。该研究将使用健康行为框架的理论观点。我们的定性和定量研究阶段将依次进行。我们将完成20次面对面的定性访谈和四个焦点小组，以解决柬埔寨社区的体育活动。我们的定性数据发现将用于指导定量调查工具的开发。将完成对250名柬埔寨成年人的基于社区的电话调查。体育活动将在50名调查参与者的子样本中客观地衡量。公共卫生相关性：这个探索性项目将提供有关成年柬埔寨美国人体育活动的定性和定量信息。该信息可用于在文化和语言上发展适当的体育活动教育材料和干预计划。
