The Trial of Activity for Adolescent Girls (TAAG) is a randomized, multicenter field trial in middle schools that aims to reduce the decline of physical activity in adolescent girls. To inform the development of the TAAG intervention, two phases of formative research are conducted to gain information on school structure and environment and on the conduct of physical education classes. Principals and designated staff at 64 eligible middle schools were interviewed using the School Survey during Phase 1. The following year (Phase 2), physical education department heads of the 36 schools selected into TAAG were interviewed. Responses were examined to design a standardized, multicomponent physical activity intervention for six regions of the United States. This article describes the contribution of formative research to the development of the physical education intervention component and summarizes the alignment of current school policies and practices with national and state standards.
少女活动试验（TAAG）是一项在中学进行的随机多中心现场试验，旨在减少少女身体活动的下降。为了为TAAG干预措施的制定提供信息，开展了两个阶段的形成性研究，以获取有关学校结构和环境以及体育课开展情况的信息。在第一阶段，使用学校调查问卷对64所符合条件的中学的校长和指定工作人员进行了访谈。次年（第二阶段），对入选TAAG的36所学校的体育部门负责人进行了访谈。对这些回答进行了研究，以设计一项针对美国六个地区的标准化、多成分身体活动干预措施。本文描述了形成性研究对体育干预部分发展的贡献，并总结了当前学校政策和实践与国家和州标准的一致性。
