There is limited research examining the health promotion behaviors (HPBs) of low-income Black men. This study examined the relationship between HPBs, and motivators and barriers to participating in these behaviors in Black men (N = 107), aged 21 to 56. Using descriptive statistics, more than 96% of the participants reported they were motivated because of the desire to be healthy. Canonical correlation analysis and conditional random forest were used to determine the importance of individual motivators and barriers. Canonical correlation analysis yielded one interpretable canonical variate that explained 39.5% of the variance in sets of motivators and barriers, and health promotion lifestyle variables. Men with fewer motivators and more barriers took less responsibility for their health, participated in less physical activity, and reported less spiritual growth. Having too many things to do and not knowing what to do best predicted participation in HPBs.
针对低收入黑人男性健康促进行为（HPBs）的研究有限。本研究调查了107名年龄在21至56岁的黑人男性的健康促进行为、参与这些行为的动机和障碍之间的关系。使用描述性统计方法，超过96%的参与者表示他们是出于对健康的渴望而产生动机。采用典型相关分析和条件随机森林来确定个体动机和障碍的重要性。典型相关分析产生了一个可解释的典型变量，该变量解释了动机和障碍集以及健康促进生活方式变量中39.5%的方差。动机较少且障碍较多的男性对自己的健康承担的责任较少，参与的体育活动较少，并且精神成长方面的报告也较少。有太多事情要做以及不知道该做什么最能预测参与健康促进行为的情况。
