Proposed Project National Youth Physical Activity and Nutrition Study (NYPANS)—New—National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description The prevalence of obesity among adolescents aged 12 to 19 more than tripled in the past 20 years, increasing from 5% in 1980 to 17.6% in 2006. Almost two-thirds of obese young people have at least one additional risk factor for heart disease, such as high cholesterol or high blood pressure. Obese young people are more likely than children of normal weight to become overweight or obese adults, and are therefore more at risk for associated adult health problems, including heart disease, type 2 diabetes, stroke, several types of cancer, and osteoarthritis. However, healthy lifestyle habits, including healthy eating and physical activity, can lower the risk of becoming obese and developing related diseases. To help develop effective interventions to stem the increase of obesity among adolescents, it is essential to better understand the behavior and behavioral determinants of healthy eating and physical activity for youth in the U.S. Toward this end, CDC proposes to conduct a study involving a nationally representative sample of students attending public and private schools in grades 9-12. CDC plans to collect information from students in Spring 2010. The primary information collection will include a paper-and-pencil survey, a standardized protocol to measure height and weight, and telephone interviews to elicit 24-hour dietary recalls among a subsample of respondents. Information supporting the study also will be collected from school administrators and teachers. This study has multiple purposes: (1) To provide nationally representative data on behaviors and behavioral determinants related to physical activity and nutrition, including data to measure at least two national health objectives in Healthy People 2010, an initiative of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS); (2) to provide data to help improve the clarity and strengthen the validity of questions on the Youth Risk Behavior Survey (OMB No. 0920-0493, exp. 11/30/2011), which has been conducted biennially since 1991; and (3) to understand the associations among behaviors and behavioral determinants related to physical activity and nutrition, and their association with body mass index. Study results will have significant implications for policy and program development for obesity prevention programs nationwide. There are no costs to respondents except their time.
