Reviewed Focus Group Results (Jennifer Roy-Walsh) 8 states did on-line focus groups. Maine did a face-to-face focus group. On average there were 5 participants per group. Additional points discussed: " Media literacy " How to balance between anorexia and overweight " Overt negative feelings toward overweight/obesity " Unexplored issues of sexual orientation " Difference between cultural acceptance of weight and body image " Disordered eating with sports " Possible need to focus on improving health through increasing social wellness " Life balance- stress, sleep, spirituality, healthy relationships, sexual health, physical activity, Wellness Wheel- " Spirituality, physical, emotional, financial, work, personal and family relationships, and social network, " WebHealth showed that people wanted a more personalized plan and that also came out in focus groups " Drugs/alcohol need to be addressed in the intervention Key Informant Interviews (Tanya Horacek) Seven states sent in (5 college, 2 non-college populations) total of 44 key informant interviews. Interviews from Rhode Island, Wisconsin, Michigan, Iowa, Kansas will be coming soon. Interviews included students and student leaders, health professional, resident life professionals, other professionals. Community Partnerships Committee (Geoff Greene) Community partner and contacts information should be kept and will act as a running documentation of contacts and interaction. Each state should have a group of community partners that function as a steering committee/advisory board. The steering committee/advisory board may or may not include the key informants who participated in interviews. The steering committee/advisory board would most likely need to meet face-to-face a few at least a few times a year and then communication may also be made by conference call and email. Procedures Committee (Tanya Horacek) Broadened objectives are needed to frame the NC1028 intervention. Suggested objectives/outcomes to improve students quality of life by enhancing young adults life balance and issues that affect life balance may include: " Relationships, feeling connected, stress management, academic success, body image, financial burdens, alcohol consumption Potential avenues for enhancing sense of balance include- " Mindfulness, technology, planning and intentionality Students health and well being affected by " Maintaining a healthy weight, preventing weight gain, normalizing their weight perceptions, enhancing their stress management, and enhancing their sleep schedule Other health issues that should be addressed and are also potential avenues for reaching students: Depression, anxiety, sexual health Most of the survey from WebHealth in the 3rd stage of the process can inform NC1028 intervention decisions. Information from the American College Health Survey may also be used. Jeffrey Arnett- Jeffrey Arnett spoke on emerging adults. 3/26/08 Focus group update Three focus groups still need to be conducted (Kansas, Iowa, Nebraska) Focus groups are due by April 15th in order to be included in the grant. Webpage Priorities and the projects Roots and Shoots system or tracking small group projects and analyses were discussed. Roster was circulated and updated. NRI Grant (Kendra Kattleman) The grant content was discussed and budgets were determined. Proposed Chart of Overall Design would include the following- Each site has an advisory board with representatives from all existing community groups and other key stakeholders. The Advisory board will hold monthly meetings. A series of town hall meetings are to be held with the local community and all group meetings will include discussions to address- 1. the problem 2. behavioral factors 3. educational factors 4. environmental factors 5. predisposing factors (KABP) 6. reinforcing factors (rewards and external feedback) 7. intervention strategies 8. recruitment, incentives, evaluation strategies 9. data analysis and interpretation 10. dissemination strategies Possible outcomes from the meetings- " Problems list " Intervention strategies " Recruitment methods " Incentive programs " Evaluation methods " Dissemination strategies Ad-hoc Grant committee assignments 1.

Accomplishments Overview: This is the second year of a 5-year NC1028 multi-state project that will focus on college and non-college populations. Contributions will be directed toward young adults (including low-income participants) participating in the community-based programs well as on university campuses populations. The long-range goal is to develop a Community Based Participatory Research (CBPR) model that integrates research, extension, and communities of the targeted population. Using the PRECEDE-PROCEED model of participatory research will help us to work with our target population to identify and prioritize the problems of significance to them, i.e. quality of life (Social Diagnosis); health/environmental/behavioral determinants (Health, Behavioral and Environmental Diagnosis); and predisposing, enabling and reinforcing factors (Educational and Ecological Diagnosis) which can then be connected to the most appropriate nutrition issues. By using a participatory research model, we hope to develop an intervention desired by the target population and thus one that is sustainable. Objective l: Enhance skills in participatory research techniques and build partnerships among researcher, extension and outreach educators, and populations of young adults to develop cooperative intervention programs. Objective 2: Use participatory research techniques to assess, prioritize, and connect: a) young adults quality of life issues and needs (Social Diagnosis); b) young adults perceived health issues and the behavioral and environmental health determinants (Health, Behavioral and Environmental Diagnosis); c) young adults specific predisposing, reinforcing, and enabling factors determining their health and quality of life (Educational and Ecological Diagnosis). Objective 3: Address needs by compiling and evaluating evidence-based methods and material for promoting healthful eating and /or prevention of weight gain in young adult (Administrative and Policy Diagnosis). Objective 4: Develop community-based applications that can be refined and evaluated in future projects. Activities and Accomplishments. The research team(s) accomplishments in the second year of the five-year NC1028 multi-state project has focused on 1) nurturing and expanding community partnerships in each state and 2) developing a research agenda in collaboration with community partners. 3) completed phases 1 and 2 of the PRECEDE PROCEED process. - A grant proposal to support NC1028 goals was submitted to the USDA. - Team members participated in a training presentation on assessing the needs of emerging adults led by Jeffrey Arnett at the 2008 annual meeting. - State team members participated in committee activities to define CBPR and to review of selected research-based publications on use of CBPR in settings relevant to this projects goals. An Evidence Based Analysis system was developed to provide a system to evaluate articles related to CBPR longitudinally. - Meetings to build partnerships were conducted by team members with partners in each state to initiate contact for formation of a community partnership research groups. - Team members assisted in writing/editing of manuscripts and poster abstracts. - Team members have participated in monthly teleconferences. The work of this group continues to be augmented by research grants - Obesity Prevention in Young Adults. USDA/NRI Integrated Project, Geoffrey Greene, P.I., with subcontracts to NY, AL, MI, WI, SD, PA, and ME. Total Award: $1,127,707. Team members from 13 states participated in the qualitative assessment of attitudes towards healthful eating, exercise and body size acceptance in conjunction with the NRI grant Behavior Change for Obesity Prevention in Young Adults. This involved the development of on line focus group research instrumentation and implementation.
