Developing culturally appropriate obesity prevention programs for African American (AA) adolescent girls that account for psychological risk factors is paramount to addressing health disparities. The current study was part of an investigation utilizing a community-based participatory research framework to gather qualitative data from urban AA girls, their caregivers, and community health liaisons to develop a novel obesity prevention program based on interpersonal psychotherapy for the prevention of excessive weight gain (IPT-WG). In the current study with urban AAs, data from seven focus groups (total sample size, = 40) were analyzed using thematic analysis. Participants identified problematic eating behaviors, including binge or loss of control eating; highlighted the importance of interpersonal relationships, mood functioning, and eating; and supported the tenets of IPT-WG. While features of IPT-WG generally resonated with participants, culturally based modifications were suggested. These data will be used to inform the development of a culturally relevant IPT-WG program.
为非裔美国（AA）少女制定考虑到心理风险因素且符合文化背景的肥胖预防计划，对于解决健康差异问题至关重要。当前的研究是一项调查的一部分，该调查利用基于社区的参与性研究框架，从城市非裔美国女孩、她们的照顾者以及社区健康联络人那里收集定性数据，以开发一种基于人际心理治疗的新型肥胖预防计划，用于预防体重过度增加（IPT-WG）。在当前针对城市非裔美国人的研究中，使用主题分析法对来自七个焦点小组的数据（总样本量 = 40）进行了分析。参与者确定了有问题的饮食行为，包括暴饮暴食或失控进食；强调了人际关系、情绪功能和饮食的重要性；并支持IPT-WG的原则。虽然IPT-WG的特点总体上得到了参与者的共鸣，但也有人建议进行基于文化的修改。这些数据将用于为制定与文化相关的IPT-WG计划提供信息。
