Research project on obesity

Search this in share y multistate research projectsmultistate research projects are funded through hatch formula grants that are awarded on a competitive basis through regional research offices. The process calls for a consensus on the problem or issue to be addressed, and it brings together the institutions, disciplines, and functions necessary to address the problem within a set following are examples of multistate projects relating to ing and addressing individual and environmental factors that influence eating behavior of young adults (nc-1193, formerly nc-1028, nc-219r, nc-219, and nc-200). Research is needed to explain the combination of individual and environmental factors associated with unhealthy weight gain among college integrated approach to prevention of obesity in high risk families (w-1005). Project focuses on developing behaviors that lead to resilience to weight gain in children from low-income families. Families find themselves living within an environment that tends to cause obesity; they are exposed to television advertising, large food portions, frequent eating away from home experiences, limited physical activity, etc. Project focuses on parental and household factors and their influence on calcium intake of preadolescent children (11-12 years old). Although individuals make food choices, this project assumes that the food environment and foodways (what people eat and why they eat it) are collectively constructed. The project will also study the effects of the social organization of food systems, including local and regional distribution patterns, alternative food sources, and formal and informal food exchange patterns on diets and y prevention & healthy weight programs obesity multistate research ed results and ncbi web site requires javascript to tionresourcesall resourceschemicals & bioassaysbiosystemspubchem bioassaypubchem compoundpubchem structure searchpubchem substanceall chemicals & bioassays resources...

This article describes a comprehensive evaluation plan to determine the extent to which the cord model is associated with changes in behavior, body weight, bmi, quality of life, and healthcare satisfaction in children 2-12 years of /methods: the cord evaluation center (ec-cord) will analyze the pooled data from three independent demonstration projects that each integrate public health and primary care childhood obesity interventions. An extensive set of common measures at the family, facility, and community levels were defined by consensus among the cord projects and ec-cord.

Impact evaluation will use a mixed linear models approach to account for heterogeneity among project-site populations and interventions. Finally, cost analyses will assess how much benefit can potentially be gained per dollar invested in programs based on the cord sions: the keys to combining and analyzing data across multiple projects include the cord model framework and common measures for the behavioral and health outcomes along with important covariates at the individual, setting, and community levels. 0061 [indexed for medline] free pmc articleshareimages from this all images (1)free textfigure ood obesity research demonstration project evaluation logic model.

This article introduces the structure of a multidisciplinary team approach used to support and guide the multisite, multisector interventions implemented as part of the childhood obesity research demonstration (cord) project. This article will describe the function, roles, and lessons learned from the cdc-cord approach to project s: the cord project works across multisectors and multilevels in three demonstration communities. Working with principal investigators and their research teams who are engaging multiple stakeholder groups, including community organizations, schools and child care centers, health departments, and healthcare providers, can be a complex endeavor. To best support the community-based research project, scientific and programmatic expertise in a wide range of areas was required.

The team was configured based on the skill sets needed to interact with the various levels of staff working with the sions: by thoughtful development of the team and processes, an efficient system for supporting the multisite, multisector intervention project sites was developed. The team approach will be formally evaluated at the end of the project uctionthe prevention and reduction of childhood obesity is a public health priority. Children with lower socioeconomic status may be at increased risk for obesity owing to a number of factors,2 there is a need to address childhood obesity in high-risk populations to improve health and reduce disparities. Thus, obesity prevention efforts targeting the chip population have the potential to decrease obesity in an underserved population, as well as possibly reducing costs of related institute of medicine put forth a framework of the socioecological model (sem) to address obesity that details the reciprocal relationship between individuals and their environments. By connecting and reinforcing interventions in public health, healthcare, and the community at large, msml approaches have the potential to assist all children and families in communities by addressing obesity through both prevention and treatment approaches in key settings. The msml approach is also supported by the obesity chronic care model,9 which postulates that system-level changes within healthcare and other settings can reinforce individual self-management of obesity-related sthe childhood obesity research demonstration (cord) project is a cooperative agreement with four grantees funded and supported by the cdc. The cord grant sought applications for interventions designed to address obesity among children 2–12 years of age who are eligible for medicaid or chip or who live in low-income areas where 50% or more of students are eligible for the national school lunch program. The grant also supported an additional grantee to design and implement an objective, rigorous evaluation of the overall uses a comprehensive model for reducing childhood obesity among underserved children, including those eligible for chip, and includes three demonstration sites and one evaluation center. This article describes the multidisciplinary management and administrative efforts designed to ensure the success of the cord program and how this approach may be valuable in planning program administration for future public health science has become an important area in translational research. Further details, including grantee information, creation of common measures, and timeline of the project, are described in other articles in this issue of childhood formation and initial planningthe process that the division of nutrition, physical activity, and obesity used to form a team to oversee the cord project was built on team science, as well as the realization that working with grantees and their community partners requires different levels of expertise. Working with principal investigators (pis) and their research teams who are integrating many stakeholder groups, such as community organizations, health departments, and healthcare providers, can be a complex endeavor. Project officers (pos) are commonly used to help manage and oversee federally awarded grants and cooperative agreements.

Project managers often oversee the day-to-day operations of research grants and, as such, need to work with someone who can help them with work-plan development, budgets, and developing staffing requirements. However, owing to the unique and complex nature of the cord project, it was decided that a team approach would be beneficial to this project given that it would bring specialized expertise for different project areas. Each of these individuals would help oversee the project for at least 25–50% of their of the cord team members brought a specialized background to the cord project and the team. The team includes two pediatricians with federal- and local-level public health experience and academic research training, a nurse with public health experience, and a po with public health and health education experience. The roles of each cord team member are described senior subject matter expert oversees the cord team and coordinates the national steering committee (sc) of federal partners, which has an interest in the outcome of the project. It is important for this person to be a subject matter expert in the obesity prevention and treatment areas to build partnerships with the sc and the demonstration sites. The sc meets with the senior subject matter expert on a regular quarterly schedule to stay connected with the activities of the project and provide input into the scientific methods, interventions chosen, the evaluation plan, the data collected, and other research scientific collaborator serves as the main contact in working with the demonstration sites and the evaluation center researchers on the analytic design, sample selection, interventions, review of protocols, and strategies for building and strengthening the evaluation and design elements within and across the sites. Other activities include reviewing and providing input on research proposals, providing scientific and framework guidance for development of measures, and providing input across the evaluation plans, including impact, process, and behavioral scientist evaluator helps the demonstration grantees and the evaluation center develop and implement their respective evaluation plans. Provides additional levels of support to the project with all members of the cord team being involved in working with the grantees on a regular basis. Provides an opportunity to maintain institutional memory about the project in the event that one person leaves the cord team before the cooperative agreement is complete. Childhood obesity research demonstration (cord) project was designed to have a cdc-cord team that provides scientific, evaluation, and management support to the grantees. Managementthe cord project team developed several procedures that were put into place to make cord a successful research project.

Before work began with the grantees, the cdc-cord team was involved in several preparatory projects to ensure that the team had the knowledge and background needed to provide technical assistance. This included reviewing existing interventions as the evidence base to draw from, creating a framework for the model, and creating common measure requirements for the grantees that facilitated the start of year 1 grant-planning r important aspect was the establishment of a monthly call schedule with each grantee that included the whole cdc-cord team, so that updates related to evaluation, data, and research questions could be discussed on each call. These meetings also provided opportunities to problem solve issues and build collaboration and trust between the project cord team worked closely with the evaluation center to provide technical assistance as they developed their cross-site evaluation plan. The team also worked with the evaluation center to create the evaluation framework, advise on inclusion/exclusion criteria, review and enhance recruitment strategies, determine how to categorize information, and work collaboratively on reviewing the sionthe project is still in progress, but several important lessons have already been learned. It was also important that cdc-cord team members ensure that all members of the team participate on a regular basis and dedicate adequate time to the project.
