A five day weight management camp for adolescents is described. Three components of weight management comprise of the camp's educational basis: 1) Nutrition Education, 2) Behavior Modeling, and 3) Physical Activity. Program planning and organizational methods are described. Thirty-five teenagers, age 13-17, attended the program. The mean weight loss for camp participants, measured at six months after camp, was 3.3 pounds. Triceps skinfold measurements showed an average decrease of 3.6mm after three months. The Wahler Self-Description Inventory was administered to measure favorable and unfavorable attributes through a self-evaluation process. Results showed a steady and continuous increase in favorable scores through the course of the camp and at the time of follow-up. Unfavorable scores were high prior to camp, followed by a sudden drop in unfavorable scores after the week of supportive therapy, followed by a leaving off effect of the 3-month follow-up session. A program evaluation by camp participants revealed that the residential camp environment was a useful approach to adolescent weight management therapy.
本文描述了一个为期五天的青少年体重管理训练营。体重管理的三个组成部分构成了该训练营的教育基础：1）营养教育，2）行为示范，以及3）体育活动。文中介绍了项目规划和组织方法。35名年龄在13至17岁的青少年参加了该项目。训练营参与者在训练营结束六个月后的平均体重减轻了3.3磅。肱三头肌皮褶测量显示，三个月后平均减少了3.6毫米。通过Wahler自我描述量表，通过自我评估过程来衡量有利和不利属性。结果显示，在训练营期间以及随访时，有利得分稳步持续增加。不利得分在训练营前较高，在支持性治疗周后不利得分突然下降，随后在三个月随访时呈逐渐下降趋势。训练营参与者进行的项目评估显示，寄宿营环境是青少年体重管理治疗的一种有效方法。
