Description/Overview: Health disparities continue to exist among vulnerable populations, and are apparent in increasing levels of overweight and obesity and in sedentary behaviors. Such disparities are particularly evident among young children and Latino subcultures, and may reflect critical gaps in understanding culturally-relevant concepts and approaches to health promotion. This symposium presents the results of programmatic efforts toward specifying the design of culturally-embedded health promotion interventions among diverse populations across the lifespan. The presentations are designed to address knowledge development through their focus on programmatic research to explicate: 1) unique strengths and resources for health promotion, reflecting culture and context; 2) innovative methods for research in designing culturally-embedded interventions; and 3) the use of treatment/evaluation theory in the design of culturally-embedded interventions. As a whole, the symposium is intended to foster dialog specific to the design of culturally-relevant interventions, and to outline innovative approaches for knowledge development specific to health promotion among diverse populations.
Learner Objective #1: The learner will be able to describe culturally relevancy issues for intervention design with ethnic subgroups.
Learner Objective #2: The learner will be able to evaluate socio-cultural strategies for obesity interventions among ethnic subgroups.
