Consuming an unhealthy diet increases health risks. This study assessed the impact of a culturally adapted behaviorally innovative obesity prevention intervention () on diet quality in pre-adolescent non-Hispanic Black/African American girls. The RCT consisted of three groups (experimental, comparison, and waitlist control); block randomization allocated participants to each group. The two treatment groups varied in terms of whether or not they set goals. Data were collected at baseline (prior to receiving the intervention), post 1 (3 months post-baseline), and post 2 (6 months post-baseline). Two dietitian-assisted 24 h dietary recalls were collected at each timepoint. Healthy Eating Index 2015 (HEI-2015) was used to determine diet quality. A total of 361 families were recruited; 342 completed baseline data collection. No significant differences in overall HEI score or component scores were observed. To attain more equitable health outcomes, future efforts to promote dietary intake change among at-risk children should explore other behavior change procedures and employ more child-friendly dietary assessment methods.
食用不健康的饮食会增加健康风险。本研究评估了一项文化适应的行为创新肥胖预防干预措施 () 对非裔美国少女饮食质量的影响。该 RCT 包括三个组（实验组、对照组和候补对照组）；块随机化将参与者分配到每个组中。两个治疗组在是否设定目标方面有所不同。数据在基线（干预前）、第 1 期（基线后 3 个月）和第 2 期（基线后 6 个月）收集。在每个时间点收集两次由营养师协助的 24 小时膳食回忆。使用 2015 年健康饮食指数 (HEI-2015) 来确定饮食质量。共招募了 361 个家庭；342 个完成了基线数据收集。整体 HEI 评分或成分评分均无显著差异。为了实现更公平的健康结果，未来促进高危儿童饮食摄入改变的努力应探索其他行为改变程序，并采用更适合儿童的饮食评估方法。
