简要总结
Investigators will conduct a two-group randomized waitlist-control trial to assess the efficacy of the Wakaya: Rising Up for Choctaw Youth Health program on improving physical activity, reducing sedentary behaviors and improving healthful eating habits as well as delaying or reducing alcohol, tobacco and other drug use. Wakaya is an experiential, outdoor, nature-based program grounded in Choctaw values. It is a multi-level intervention that increases individual motivation and leadership skills to make healthy behavioral choices for behavior and exercise.
详细描述
Study participants will be recruited in staggered cohorts with those in each recruitment wave receiving individual-level random assignment to either immediate intervention or waitlist control (3 months wait to intervention) for a total of 176 Choctaw youth (ages 12-19 years) participating over 5 years.
Recruitment strategies:
The following Recruitment strategies will be used: posting flyers, posters and brochures in stores, community centers, and other locations identified by our community advisors; and posting flyers in the tribal newspaper, school newsletters, tribal gathering areas, tribal health fairs, pow wows, local boys and girls clubs, youth centers, other local news outlets, and on a study webpage.
Screening:
- Participants will mainly be screened in-person, some may be screened over phone using the same talking points.
- Youth who are screened out will be given a community resource list.
- If a person is eligible, but declines to participate, they will be given a brief one-item exit question regarding general reason for non-participation.
- Eligible youth who agree to participate will be asked to schedule their baseline assessment.

结局指标
主要结局
Change in physical activity assessed by self-report
时间窗: Baseline; Immediate post-intervention (month 3); 3 months post (month 6); and 6 months post-intervention (month 9)
Assessed by the International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form (IPAQ) for youth and young adults. Results can be reported in categories (low, moderate or high activity levels) or as a continuous variable (MET minutes a week). MET minutes represent the amount of energy expended carrying out physical activity.
Change in food and beverage habits over time
时间窗: Baseline; Immediate post-intervention (month 3); 3 months post (month 6); 6 months post-intervention (month 9)
Assessed by the Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System (YRBS) 2023.
Change in physical activity intensity associated with movement, measured by accelerometer
时间窗: Baseline and 6 months post-intervention (month 9)
An actigraph accelerometer measures vertical acceleration in counts per minute. It will be worn for 7 days. Mean counts per minute are calculated by dividing the sum of activity counts for a valid day be the number of minutes of wear time in a day for all valid days. Greater number of counts per minute indicates higher physical activity intensity. Change in mean counts per minute from baseline at 9 months will be assessed.
Change in beverage habits over time
时间窗: Baseline; post-intervention (month 3); 3 months post (month 6); 6 months post-intervention (month 9)
Assessed by the Modified Healthy Home Survey (2005- Beverages). It assesses the number of sweetened drinks consumed per week.
Change in sedentary behaviors over time
时间窗: Baseline; Immediate post-intervention (month 3); 3 months post (month 6); 6 months post-intervention (month 9)
Measured by the Youth Leisure-time Sedentary Behavior Questionnaire (YLSBQ) adapted for Choctaw Youth
次要结局
- Change in tobacco use frequency (non-ceremonial use) assessed by self-report(Baseline; Immediate post-intervention (month 3); 3 months post (month 6); 6 months post-intervention (month 9))
- Change in food addiction(Baseline; Immediate post-intervention (month 3); 3 months post (month 6); 6 months post-intervention (month 9))
- Change in alcohol use over time(Baseline; Immediate post-intervention (month 3); 3 months post (month 6); 6 months post-intervention (month 9))
- Change in marijuana use over time(Baseline; Immediate post-intervention (month 3); 3 months post (month 6); 6 months post-intervention (month 9))
- Body Mass Index (BMI) change(Baseline; Immediate post-intervention (month 3); 3 months post (month 6); 6 months post-intervention (month 9))
- Weight change assessed via digital scale(Baseline; Immediate post-intervention (month 3); 3 months post (month 6); 6 months post-intervention (month 9))
- Change in drug and alcohol refusal self-efficacy(Baseline; Immediate post-intervention (month 3) 3 months post (month 6); 6 months post-intervention (month 9))
