Your task:

This assignment is a structured essay based on the list of short answer questions of the EPHPP Tool for the study described in the paper.

Wilson, Dawn K., et al. "Results of the “Active by Choice Today”(ACT) randomized trial for increasing physical activity in low-income and minority adolescents." Health Psychology 30.4 (2011): 463.

The EPHPP Tool:

Details of the tool, including the dictionary QADictionary_dec2009.pdf which provides an explanation of each question.

Attached is a word document which you can use to write and JUSTIFY your answers addressing the methodological issues in paragraphs. For each question, describe the issue and please quote the applicable text from applicable publications, giving page and paragraph location to support your answer:

Support resource: Wilson, Dawn K., et al. "Results of the “Active by Choice Today”(ACT) randomized trial for increasing physical activity in low-income and minority adolescents." Health Psychology 30.4 (2011): 463.Wilson_2011_HP.pdf

Please begin by reading above paper. You are required to assess the study described by Wilson in this paper.

Ensure that you search for and include relevant references to support your arguements and publications relevant to the Active by Choice Today study.

Criteria for assessment:

Learning support: In the past students have found the Cochrane Handbook to be a useful resource:

 

Individual : It is good practice to undertake critical appraisal (this assessment) independently, as two reviewers, and then come together to discuss discrepancies afterwards. You will see that this is identified as the final step in the EPHPP Tool document. (This step will also be included in your final mark.)

Pairs of reviewers:

Partner co-reviewer: Will be randomly assigned.

Work through the assignment independently and then come together as reviewers to discuss discrepancies. 

 

Some tips:

* this is exercise is an assessment of a study, and you have been provide with the primary paper for the study: Wilson 2011. Always important to look for other papers on the same study.

* Important to demonstrate deep learning and describe the methodological issues and any uncertainties or ambiguity you encounter.

* Please don't give simple yes / no answers. Students in the past who chose to do that failed.

Provide your explanation:
Given the primary aim of the study- to determine the effect of behavioural and motivational skills intervention on the rate of physical activity among low-income and minority adolescents, the study's sampling technique was appropriate and representative of the target population. Participants were drawn from low-income families and public schools providing free or reduced lunch meals. The provision of free lunch is one indication that the children came from poor backgrounds. In addition, the researchers aimed at improving physical activity within this group, and for the purpose of testing the efficacy of their intervention method, they selected participants who were likely to have low physical exercise levels, and lacked home facilities or opportunities to engage in vigorous and regular physical exercise. This is because the participants came from poor neighbourhoods where access to recreational facilities like gyms and playgrounds is limited. In addition, the researchers selected participants from individuals who met a certain criteria- were overweight or at risk of being obese, had a mean age of 11.3 years, and were school going (6th graders). They state that “73 percent were African-American,â€Β which is a minority group in the U.S. society, while “fifty-one percent “were in the 85th percentile of being overweight or obeseâ€Β (Wilson, et al., 2011, p. 466). The inclusion of female participants (fifty-four percent) completed the representativeness of the sample because girls are a minority or underserved group in terms of opportunities for physical exercise. The traditional definition of gender roles and gender socialization confines female members in society to duties and responsibilities that prevent them from engaging in vigorous physical and other outdoor activities. For instance, women are socialized into domestic tasks, which confine them indoors most of the time.

(Q2) What percentage of selected individuals agreed to participate?
1 1. 80 - 100% agreement
2 2. 60 – 79% agreement
3 3. less than 60% agreement
4 4. Not applicable
5 5. Can't tell
