 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The NIMHD Strategic Plan proposes a critical focus on studying underlying factors contributing to health disparities, such as obesity, among racial/ethnic minorities. The proposed Ruth L. Kirschstein NRSA is a two-year program of research and training focused on uncovering the underlying associations among environmental, cognitive, and behavioral factors that contribute to obesity health disparities among African American (AA) adolescent girls. Rates of overweight/obesity and related comorbidities among AA adolescent girls are much higher than rates in other racial/ethnic groups, highlighting a critical health disparity. AAs who are obese are more likely to remain obese through adulthood and develop health consequences, such as type 2 diabetes and hypertension. Therefore, preventing overweight/obesity in this group is critical. Yet, prevention and intervention efforts must account for the multiple systems that influence obesity risk, specifically individual and environmental factors. AA individuals may be more vulnerable to environmental factors, such as food marketing, compared to other groups. Obese AA adolescents may be more prone to over-attention toward food-related stimuli (i.e., attentional biases [ABs]) increasing the potential rol of food marketing. Together, these factors may lead to unhealthy eating behaviors and increase obesity risk. Among 120 AA obese (n=60) and non-overweight (n=60) adolescent girls, the proposed project will examine the effect of food marketing and ABs on eating behaviors. Food cue ABs will be examined using an attention bias visual dot probe task. Afterwards, AA girls will view a video clip embedded with either a food commercial or a neutral/non-food commercial. Eating behavior will be assessed using a laboratory test meal. This study will evaluate the hypotheses that food marketing and ABs individually impact food consumption among AA adolescent girls. Further, we expect that girls who view the food commercial and have high ABs will consume more overall food. Findings from the proposed study will elucidate the associations among environmental, cognitive, and behavioral factors that may contribute to obesity risk in AA adolescent girls. If successful, this project may assist in identifying individual and environmenta targets for obesity prevention, such as attentional retraining and limits on youth-targeted food marketing, respectively. Data have the potential to build scientific support towards important regulatory policies to encourage alignment of marketing with nutritional guidelines and limits on food marketing towards youth and racial/ethnic minorities. The proposed NRSA will provide conceptual, technical, and professional skills training in understanding socio-ecological factors within health disparities research, psychological theories that drive marketing techniques, ABs, and ways to disseminate research to inform policy. The innovative integration of food marketing, an ABs paradigm, and a laboratory test meal will elucidate how the current food environment, food-related cognitions, and eating behaviors interact to contribute to the development and maintenance of obesity risk in AA girls, a vulnerable group.

 描述（由适用提供）：NIMHD战略计划提案的关注关注于研究在种族/族裔少数群体中导致健康差异（例如肥胖）的潜在因素。拟议的Ruth L. Kirschstein NRSA是一项为期两年的研究和培训计划，重点是揭示环境，认知和行为因素之间的基本关联，这些关联导致非洲裔美国人（AA）青少年女孩的肥胖健康差异。 AA青春期女孩的超重/肥胖和相关合并症的速度远高于其他种族/族裔群体的比率，强调了严重的健康差异。肥胖的AA更有可能在成年后保持肥胖并发展健康后果，例如2型糖尿病和高血压。因此，防止该组中的超重/肥胖至关重要。但是，预防和干预工作必须考虑影响肥胖风险的多个系统，尤其是个人和环境因素。与其他群体相比，AA个人可能更容易受到环境因素的影响，例如食品营销。肥胖的AA青少年可能更容易过度注意与食物相关的刺激（即注意偏见[ABS]），从而增加了食品营销的潜在作用。这些因素一起可能导致不健康的饮食行为并增加肥胖风险。在120个AA肥胖（n = 60）和非重量（n = 60）青少年女孩中，该项目将研究食品营销和ABS对饮食行为的影响。食品提示ABS将使用注意力偏置视觉点探测任务进行检查。之后，AA女孩将观看带有食品广告或中性/非食品广告的视频剪辑。饮食行为将使用实验室测试餐进行评估。这项研究将评估食品营销和ABS在AA青春期女孩中的食物消耗的假设。此外，我们预计观看食物广告并拥有高腹肌的女孩将消耗更多的整体食物。拟议研究的发现将阐明可能导致AA青少年女孩肥胖风险的环境，认知和行为因素之间的关联。如果成功的话，该项目可能会帮助确定个人和环境预防的个人和环境目标，例如注意力再培训和限制以青年为目标的食品营销。数据有可能为重要的监管政策提供科学支持，以鼓励营销与营养准则保持一致，并限制食品营销对青年和种族/种族少数群体的限制。拟议的NRSA将提供概念，技术和专业技能培训，以了解健康差异研究中的社会生态因素，推动营销技术，ABS的心理学理论，ABS以及分散研究以告知政策的方法。食品营销，ABS范式和实验室测试餐的创新融合将阐明当前的食物环境，与食物有关的认知和饮食行为如何相互作用，从而有助于促进和维持肥胖风险，即脆弱的群体AA Girls。
