 Promoting Physical Activity and Nutrition Awareness in Middle School Youth Through the Design of Activities Using Geospatial Technologies By Chelsea Page The University of Arizona Department of Nutritional Sciences April 21 st, 2012

Thank You!  Nobuko (Kay) Hongu, PhD – Mentor: Nutritional Sciences Extension Specialist (UA)  Barron Orr, Ph.D. – co-Mentor: Extension Specialist, Associate Director, UA/NASA Space Grant Program  Martha Mosqueda – Graduate Student, Nutritional Sciences (UA)

Overview  Objective  i-Challenge! Program Development  Design and Purpose  GPS Integration  Previous Activities  New Activity: Tag  Interpretation  Future Research and Application

Objective & Goal Develop a new activity utilizing geospatial and mobile technologies that will encourage nutrition awareness and physical activity (NPA) in vulnerable youth. After designing the new activity, TAG, implement the activity in an appropriate setting, collect and analyze data to determine it’s success, asses future potential, and present the experience and potential use.

GPS Technologies  GPS = Global Positioning System  Increased availability and usage of mobile technologies  Combination of mobile and geospatial technology  Applications developed by the Stealth Health team

i-Challenge!  8-week program  Population: Vulnerable youth ages  Two middle schools  Control (w/o mobile GPS technology): Hohokam Middle school, Coolidge, AZ  Experimental (w/ mobile GPS technology): Sequoia Pathway Academy, Maricopa, AZ  Four team-based activities

Four Activities Treasure Hunt Mapping Earth Drawing TAG!

TAG Activity Based on a relay race concept where photos and NPA facts represent the baton  Kids between the ages of 6 and 14 eat fast food 157,000,000 times every month in the U.S. How much fast food do you eat? Many people eat the entire amount of calories they need for one day in just one meal at a fast food restaurant! Decrease your portions to increase your health!

TAG: Design on the Google map

TAG: Introduced and implemented!  30 youth  During normal 50 minute PE class in the afternoon  Divided into 4 teams at beginning of i-Challenge! : Blue, Yellow, Green, Red  Pedometer for activity  ~30 minutes  Post-Challenge Questionnaire

Post-Challenge Questionnaire

Results  Median steps = 543 steps, ~0.125 miles  ~5 minutes of walking/student  miles/5 minutes  moderate activity

Interpretation  The activity had positive feedback from the participants  Based on what I observed, there is potential for this activity to successfully encourage NPA in vulnerable youth.

The Future This activity may be used in future studies involving mobile phones with GPS features and in collaboration with other activities to encourage NPA in a variety of populations beyond middle school youth.
