Proposed Project
Translation and Dissemination of Promising Community Interventions
for Preventing Obesity--New--Division of Nutrition, Physical Activity
and Obesity (DNPAO), National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and
Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The need for prevention and reduction of overweight and obesity is
compelling. In the U.S., 65% of adults are overweight or obese. Obesity
contributes to chronic conditions such as hypertension, Type 2
diabetes, stroke, coronary heart disease, and osteoarthritis. Beyond
the human costs, economic costs are extreme and are climbing. A report
on prevention of childhood obesity, prepared by the Institute of
Medicine in 2007, concluded that there are insufficient studies to
generate recommendations for best practices in obesity prevention.
Instead, the report compiles promising practices, including those set
in communities.
CDC plans to apply methodology recommended by the CDC Task Force on
Community Preventive Services to improve the translation and
dissemination of promising practices into community-based obesity
prevention programs. Information necessary to this purpose will be
collected from the general public. Information will be collected
concerning respondents' knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs about obesity
and physical activity; the need for community leaders to encourage
healthier diets and more physical activity; and opportunities for
leveraging current community efforts.
Two hundred fifty respondents will be recruited to participate in a
series of four, small-group discussions using Voice over Internet
Protocol. In preparation for the initial discussion, respondents will
be asked to review a set of briefing materials and a guide to on-line
discussion groups. In addition, these respondents will complete an on-
line questionnaire on two occasions. The questionnaire is designed to
measure the relative importance of various proposals for policy and
environmental change, and whether change has occurred in perceptions of
roles and responsibilities for obesity prevention. The baseline or
``pre-test'' questionnaire will be administered before the initial
discussion group, and the ``post-test'' questionnaire will be
administered after all discussion groups have been completed.
[[Page 57960]]
Information will also be collected from a comparison group of 700
respondents who will complete pre- and post-intervention
questionnaires, but will not participate in the discussion groups or
review the briefing materials.
The goal is to identify key issues for community obesity prevention
programs, to refine promising obesity prevention practices for targeted
communities, and to facilitate the dissemination of promising practices
for obesity prevention. OMB approval is requested for one year. There
are no costs to respondents other than their time. The total estimated
annualized burden hours are 2,034.
