AN INTEGRATIVE, INTERACTIVE OVERWEIGHT AND OBESITY PREVENTION PROGRAM ALABAMA BLACK BELT COUNTIES
NON-TECHNICAL SUMMARY: Two-third of the American population is either overweight or obese and the rate among adults is not relenting. Childhood obesity is increasing in prevalence and influenced by factors such as socio-economic, racial, genetic, life-style, and nutrition, specifically, in the African-American communities. The goal of this project is to use the "peer" adult & child concept (based on background and economic status) and community-based participatory research model in combating the problem of obesity among parents/adults and childrenwith the objectives of using an integrative, interactive nutrition education and physical activity program for parents and children in the prevention and reduction of overweight obesity; and to observe the effectiveness of the integrative, interactive nutrition education and physical activity program by examining the
relationship of demographics, knowledge of obesity, dietary behaviors, and selected anthropometric (height, weight, BMI, and waist circumference) and non-invasive biomarkers (systolic and diastolic pressure, Total cholesterol). Projected benefits for participants include weight loss, reduced blood pressure, and increased health promoting knowledge, and obesity-focused publications.
