简要总结
To evaluate a park-level intervention to increase child moderate/vigorous physical activity (MVPA), and decrease sedentary time among low-income racially/ethnically diverse children ages 6-12 yrs. Neighborhood parks (n=20) from Minneapolis (n=8) and Saint Paul (n=12) park systems will be randomized for a 2-year period to one of two arms: 1) Intensive Park Outreach and Youth Sports Program Fee Waiver (n=10); or 2) Youth Sports Program Fee Waiver Only (n=10). The evaluation cohort will consist of 432 children ages 6-12 yrs who reside in one of the 20 randomized park neighborhoods. Measurements from evaluation cohort-enrolled individual children will be collected at baseline, 6, 12, and 24 months.
详细描述
This research evaluates the effects of a park-level intervention to increase child moderate/vigorous physical activity (MVPA), and decrease sedentary time among low-income racially/ethnically diverse children ages 6-12 yrs. Neighborhood parks (n=20) from Minneapolis (n=8) and Saint Paul (n=12) park systems will be randomized for a 2-year period to one of two arms: 1) Intensive Park Outreach and Youth Sports Program Fee Waiver (n=10); or 2) Youth Sports Program Fee Waiver Only (n=10). In the Intensive Park Outreach and Youth Sports Program Fee Waiver condition, Community Advisory Boards (CABs) will be created to develop partner networks that will publicize the free youth park programs offered at the local park and recreation center. CABs will engage in program recruitment activities throughout the study to directly engage parents to support their child's PA through enrollment and participation in youth sports park programs. Parents will be supported through CAB outreach activities that address cultural and communication barriers, and financial barriers will be addressed through the fee waiver program. The Youth Sports Program Fee Waiver Only will consist of financial supports through the fee waiver, but will not include additional outreach beyond usual park outreach activities. The evaluation cohort will consist of 432 children ages 6-12 yrs who reside in one of the 20 randomized park neighborhoods. Measurements from evaluation cohort-enrolled individual children will be collected at baseline, 6, 12, and 24 months.
The Specific Aims of this research are:
Specific Aim 1: To evaluate the effects of a park-level intervention on changes in child MVPA over 6, 12 and 24 months.
Specific Aim 2: To evaluate the effects of a park-level intervention on changes in child sedentary behavior over 6, 12 and 24 months.
Exploratory Aim 3: To evaluate the effects of a park-level intervention on changes in parent light and sedentary activity over 6, 12 and 24 months.
