项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This U13 application responds to NICHD PAR-09-092 in the broad focus area of child, adolescent, and adult obesity. Interventions that impact upon obesity in African American children and youth, especially females, are critically needed given the steeper than average trajectory of increase and high obesity prevalence in African American children and youth, especially females. The domain of obesity research is defined here to include determinants of food, physical activity, and weight control at both environmental and individual levels and their relationships to obesity and related morbidity and mortality. This broad domain has intrinsic connections to a spectrum of potential community issues and priorities. Activities will be designed to identify the community's perceived areas of interest for addressing disparities related to obesity, with a particular focus on youth engagement. These activities will be undertaken under the rubric of the African American Collaborative Obesity Research Network (AACORN), a national organization based at the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA. Funds requested in this application would support engagement of youth and adult community members in planning and implementing two community-focused, national workshops, in 2010 and 2012, reflecting community priorities for social change activities related to childhood obesity prevention. Specific aims are to: 1) Implement creative new methods of enabling youth partners to share their perspectives, become more informed, and identify priorities about issues related to eating, physical activity, and body weight; 2) Create an advisory board that will stimulate dialogue among youth and adult community members and academic researchers about issues and priorities in these focus areas; 3)Identify and engage, through a memorandum of understanding, at least one youth focused, community organization as a community based participatory research (CBPR) partner; 4) With community partners and the advisory board, plan and implement a specific component of AACORN's 2010 and 2012 workshops that will provide for conjoint community and academic researcher capacity building and establish a foundation for planning longer term cross-learning and CBPR activities. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The need to increase the direct involvement of African American community members and organizations in the generation of endogenous solutions to obesity and related health and quality of life issues is great. Interventions that impact upon obesity in African American children and youth, especially females, are critically needed given a steeper than average rise in obesity prevalence.

描述（由申请人提供）：此 U13 申请响应 NICHD PAR-09-092 在儿童、青少年和成人肥胖的广泛关注领域。鉴于非裔美国儿童和青少年（尤其是女性）肥胖率的增长轨迹比平均水平更陡峭且肥胖患病率较高，因此迫切需要对非裔美国儿童和青少年（尤其是女性）的肥胖产生影响。肥胖研究的领域在此定义为包括环境和个人水平上食物、体力活动和体重控制的决定因素及其与肥胖和相关发病率和死亡率的关系。这个广泛的领域与一系列潜在的社区问题和优先事项有着内在的联系。活动的目的是确定社区对解决与肥胖相关的差异感兴趣的领域，特别关注青年的参与。这些活动将在非裔美国人肥胖协作研究网络 (AACORN) 的框架下进行，该网络是一个位于宾夕法尼亚州费城宾夕法尼亚大学的全国性组织。本申请中要求的资金将支持青年和成人社区成员参与规划和实施 2010 年和 2012 年两次以社区为重点的国家研讨会，反映与预防儿童肥胖相关的社会变革活动的社区优先事项。具体目标是： 1) 实施创造性的新方法，使青年伙伴能够分享他们的观点，获得更多信息，并确定与饮食、身体活动和体重相关的问题的优先事项； 2) 建立一个咨询委员会，促进青年和成人社区成员以及学术研究人员就这些重点领域的问题和优先事项进行对话； 3) 通过一份谅解备忘录，确定并聘请至少一个以青年为中心的社区组织作为基于社区的参与性研究 (CBPR) 合作伙伴； 4) 与社区合作伙伴和咨询委员会一起，规划和实施 AACORN 2010 年和 2012 年研讨会的具体部分，该部分将提供联合社区和学术研究人员的能力建设，并为规划长期交叉学习和 CBPR 活动奠定基础。公共卫生相关性：非常需要增加非裔美国人社区成员和组织的直接参与，以产生肥胖及相关健康和生活质量问题的内源性解决方案。鉴于肥胖患病率的上升幅度高于平均水平，迫切需要针对非裔美国儿童和青少年（尤其是女性）的肥胖问题采取干预措施。
