To develop a youth form of the Motivators of and Barriers to Health-Smart Behaviors Inventory (MB-HSBI-Youth) for use in identifying self-reported motivators of and barriers to the following health-promoting behaviors (called health-smart behaviors): eating a healthy breakfast, eating healthy foods and snacks, drinking healthy drinks, and engaging in physical activity.
The MB-HSBI-Youth was developed through several research phases as part of a larger, multisite, and multicomponent study on modifying and preventing obesity in families. A critical aspect of the larger study was to identify the motivators of and barriers to the above-identified health-smart behaviors among African American, Asian American, Hispanic/Latino American, and non-Hispanic White American adults and youth. After preliminary research involving content validity, item analyses, and pilot testing, a pilot version of the MB-HSBI-Youth was administered to a national sample of 567 culturally diverse youth ranging from 9 to 17 years old.
Factor analyses and internal consistency results revealed the existence of multiple subscales measuring motivators of and barriers to each of the above-specified health-smart behaviors. Scores on the MB-HSBI-Youth correlated in expected directions with health self-efficacy scores and with ratings of the importance of health-related behavioral goals.
The MB-HSBI-Youth may be a useful and novel tool for developing assessment-based, culturally sensitive health promotion programs customized to be responsive to the motivators of and barriers to health-smart behaviors identified in target communities, particularly those communities whose members are mostly racial/ethnic minorities.
开发一种适合识别健康行为促进行为（简称健康行为）的自我报告动机和障碍的青少年版健康智能行为激励和障碍量表（MB-HSBI-Youth）。这些健康行为包括：吃健康早餐、吃健康的食物和零食、喝健康饮料以及进行身体活动。
MB-HSBI-Youth 是通过几个研究阶段开发的，作为一项针对家庭肥胖预防和干预的多地点、多成分大型研究的一部分。该大型研究的一个关键方面是识别非裔美国、亚裔美国、西班牙裔/拉丁裔美国和非西班牙裔白人青少年和成年人在上述确定的健康行为中的动机和障碍。在初步涉及内容有效性、项目分析和试点测试的研究之后，对来自不同文化背景的 567 名 9 至 17 岁的全国青少年进行了 MB-HSBI-Youth 的试点测试。
因素分析和内部一致性结果表明，该量表存在多个子量表，分别衡量了上述特定健康行为的动机和障碍。MB-HSBI-Youth 的得分与健康自我效能感评分以及与健康相关行为目标重要性的评分呈预期方向相关。
MB-HSBI-Youth 可能是一种有用且新颖的工具，可用于制定基于评估、文化敏感的健康促进计划，针对目标社区中确定的健康行为的动机和障碍进行定制，特别是针对那些成员主要为少数族裔的社区。
