Abstract

Interventions in community settings, where children spend substantial out of school time, may enhance access to evidence-based lifestyle interventions. The Boys and Girls Club of Lawrence (BGCL) and New Balance Foundation Obesity Prevention Center at Boston Children's Hospital partnered to revise, enact, and evaluate BGCL's existing Healthy Living Club and then flexibly expand the program to increase access. The BGCL is within walking distance of three public housing communities and easily accessible to members, of whom 90% identify as Hispanic. The interventions comprised nutrition sessions and either fitness activity sessions (N+FA Cycle 1, n = 63, 26 hours; N+FA Cycle 2, n = 94, 27 hours) or academic basketball practices (N+AB Cycle 2, n = 99, 72-80 hours), leveraging time already in the schedule where fitness could be intentionally promoted by coaches. Among children aged 8-15 years, mean [95% confidence interval (CI)] changes (beginning to end) in percentage above the BMI median were significant [N+FA Cycle 1: -2.4 (-4.1, -0.8); N+FA Cycle 2: -4.3 (-5.4, -3.1); N+AB Cycle 2: -5.5 (-6.9, -4.1)]. Lifestyle interventions, implemented with flexibility in existing programs, had beneficial impact, indicating potential of community-academic partnerships.

校外健康生活俱乐部的建立、评估和扩展:社区与学术界的合作。
在社区环境中进行干预(儿童在社区环境中度过了大量的校外时间),可以增加获得循证生活方式干预措施的机会。劳伦斯男孩女孩俱乐部(BGCL)与波士顿儿童医院的新百伦基金会肥胖预防中心合作,对 BGCL 现有的健康生活俱乐部进行了修订、颁布和评估,然后灵活地扩展该计划,以增加参与机会。BGCL 位于三个公共住房社区的步行范围内,便于会员使用,其中 90% 的会员为西班牙裔。干预措施包括营养课程和健身活动课程(N+FA 周期 1,n=63,26 小时;N+FA 周期 2,n=94,27 小时)或学术篮球练习(N+AB 周期 2,n=99,72-80 小时),利用时间表中已有的时间,由教练有意识地促进健身。在 8-15 岁的儿童中,BMI 中位数以上百分比的平均值[95% 置信区间 (CI)]变化(从开始到结束)显著[N+FA 循环 1:-2.4 (-4.1, -0.8);N+FA 循环 2:-4.3 (-5.4, -3.1);N+AB 循环 2:-5.5 (-6.9, -4.1)]。在现有计划中灵活实施的生活方式干预措施产生了有益的影响,表明社区与学术界的合作具有潜力。

Health disparities and cultural sensitivities are addressed, and plans and protocols are recommended to effect change at the family, school, and community level. The Journal also reports on the problem of access to effective healthcare and delivers evidence-based solutions to overcome these barriers.
