Brief Summary:
The increasing prevalence of obesity in US children and adolescents is a major health threat to our society especially among minority and low social economic status SES populations During adolescence physical activity PA decreases and is likely an important contributor to the increasing trend in childhood obesity rates Little evidence suggests that school-based curriculum interventions lead to increases in overall PA Thus this proposal will evaluate the efficacy of an innovative motivational and behavioral skills after-school program for promoting increases PA among underserved adolescents eg minorities low SES The motivational plus behavioral skills intervention is consistent with Self-Determination Motivation Theory and Social Cognitive Theory in that it emphasizes increasing intrinsic motivation and behavioral skills for PA Adolescents in the intervention take part in developing the program selecting physical activities that generate fun and interest and generating their own coping strategies for making effective PA changes during a videotaped session Preliminary data from our group demonstrates the feasibility of the motivational plus behavioral skills PA program for increasing moderate-to-vigorous PA MVPA in underserved adolescents in South Carolina The proposed project will use a school-based nested cohort design to evaluate efficacy of a 17-week motivational plus behavioral skills program versus typical after-school program general health education only on increasing PA in underserved adolescents Twenty-four middle schools 70 6th graders per school N1680 located in South Carolina will be randomly assigned to one of two after-school programs The study employs a nested cohort design with schools rather than individuals assigned to condition and will be analyzed using repeated measures analysis of covariance techniques as outlined by Murray We will also examine psychosocial variables PA self-efficacy self-concept motivation social support and enjoyment as potential mediators of the intervention on changes in MVPA using regression and structural equation modeling techniques This study will address an important public health problem that will have implications for decreasing obesity in underserved adolescents
