This study tested a mentoring model that paired trained teens with younger children in an after-school setting to deliver a curriculum aimed at promoting healthier patterns of dietary intake and physical activity.
Using a pretest-posttest design, group comparisons were made. Descriptive, independent, and paired t-test analyses with Bonferroni corrections were conducted in a sample of 72 children.
Group differences were noted with the intention to eat healthfully. Mentored children demonstrated greater improvement in knowledge, attitudes, efficacy, perceived support, and body mass index (BMI).
Teen mentors can effectively impact children's intention to improve health behaviors, which is foundational to normalizing BMI.
本研究测试了一种指导模式，即在课外环境中将受过培训的青少年与年幼儿童配对，以实施旨在促进更健康饮食摄入模式和身体活动的课程。
采用前测-后测设计进行组间比较。对72名儿童的样本进行了描述性、独立和配对t检验分析，并进行了Bonferroni校正。
在健康饮食意愿方面发现了组间差异。接受指导的儿童在知识、态度、效能感、感知支持和体重指数（BMI）方面有更大的改善。
青少年指导者可以有效地影响儿童改善健康行为的意愿，这是使BMI正常化的基础。
