BACKGROUND
There are few weight gain prevention interventions aimed at new immigrants. Live Well, a community-based participatory research (CBPR) study, was designed to address this gap.
OBJECTIVE
The goal of this paper is to describe the development of the Live Well nutrition and physical activity curriculum.
METHODS
The curriculum draws on behavioral theory and popular education and was co-created, implemented, and will be evaluated by community partners and academic researchers.
RESULTS
The time it took to develop the curriculum exceeded initial estimates. However, the extra time taken was spent engaging in needed dialogue to create a better product, fully co-created by academic and community partners. Additionally, working with an outside expert created the opportunity for all partners to train together, build capacity, and increase cohesion. Our approach developed relationships and trust, and resulted in a unique curriculum.
CONCLUSIONS
The commitment to partnership resulted in a curriculum to empower immigrant women to improve health decisions and behaviors. This will inform future research and programming targeting other at-risk and new immigrant communities.
背景
针对新移民的体重增加预防干预措施很少。“生活得健康”是一项基于社区的参与性研究（CBPR），旨在填补这一空白。
目的
本文的目的是描述“生活得健康”营养与体育活动课程的开发过程。
方法
该课程借鉴了行为理论和大众教育方法，由社区合作伙伴和学术研究人员共同创建、实施，并将进行评估。
结果
课程开发所用时间超过了最初的估计。然而，额外花费的时间用于进行必要的对话，以打造一个由学术和社区合作伙伴共同完全创建的更好的产品。此外，与外部专家合作让所有合作伙伴有机会一起培训、增强能力并提高凝聚力。我们的方法建立了关系和信任，并产生了一门独特的课程。
结论
对伙伴关系的承诺产生了一门课程，使移民妇女有能力改善健康决策和行为。这将为未来针对其他高危和新移民社区的研究和项目提供参考。
