As a part of the Minnesota Heart Health Program (MHHP), a seven-year cohort study of adolescents in two different communities was conducted. A school-based intervention was implemented in one of the communities which addressed aspects of cardiovascular health promotion and risk-factor prevention. This paper focuses on changes in the adolescents' values and the importance of their behaviors and lifestyle patterns over the study period. Physical appearance was found to be the most valued characteristic of adolescents in both communities, the only value which grew in importance over time. The least valued behavior was the amount of TV they were allowed to watch. Students who participated in the intervention community tended to retain their positive values about physical exercise, whereas the reference community demonstrated gradual reductions. Girls in the intervention community tended to value the kinds of food they eat to a greater extent than did girls in the reference group. The study data might contribute to the search for more meaningful incentives in future preventive programs.
作为明尼苏达心脏健康项目（MHHP）的一部分，在两个不同社区对青少年进行了一项为期七年的队列研究。在其中一个社区实施了一项以学校为基础的干预措施，该措施涉及心血管健康促进和危险因素预防等方面。本文重点关注青少年价值观的变化以及他们的行为和生活方式模式在研究期间的重要性。在两个社区中，外表被发现是青少年最看重的特征，也是唯一随着时间推移重要性增加的价值观。最不被看重的行为是允许他们看电视的时长。参与干预社区的学生往往保留对体育锻炼的积极价值观，而参照社区则呈现出逐渐下降的趋势。干预社区的女孩比参照组的女孩更倾向于重视她们所吃食物的种类。该研究数据可能有助于在未来的预防项目中寻找更有意义的激励措施。
