Study Summary
The purpose of this proof-of-concept study is to assess the initial signal of effectiveness of summer youth employment programs (SYEP) on understudied obesity-related outcomes in adolescents. This small-scale study is essential to identify early success and refine the intervention before scaling to a larger, more resource-intensive randomized trial. Specifically, this one-group pre-posttest study will: Aim 1 (Primary): Evaluate if a 6-week SYEP provides an initial signal for effectiveness (maintenance or decrease in zBMI) over the summer. Hypothesis 1: Adolescents who participated in a SYEP will maintain or decrease their BMI over the summer. Aim 2 (Secondary): Evaluate changes in obesogenic behaviors (physical activity, sleep, sedentary, and diet) over the summer. Hypothesis 2: Adolescents who participated in a SYEP will increase physical activity, reduce sedentary behavior, and improve sleep and diet quality over the summer. Aim 3 (Secondary): Evaluate the feasibility of SYEP for obesity prevention intervention to inform intervention scalability. Hypothesis 3: The SYEP program will be a feasible and acceptable intervention strategy for the prevention of obesity in adolescents over the summer.
Primary Outcome
Height and weight will be directly measured by trained staff. Each measurement will be taken twice, and the average will be used for analysis. Body mass index (BMI) will be calculated and expressed as Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) age- and sex-specific BMI-for-age z-scores (zBMI). The outcome will represent the change in zBMI from baseline to Week 6. A positive change score will indicate an increase (gain) in zBMI from baseline to Week 6, which will be considered a less favora
