Decline in physical activity during adolescence is thought to contribute significantly to the increasing prevalence of overweight adolescents, with minority youth being at particular risk for obesity and inactivity. To date, most studies have focused on neighborhood and personal characteristics to determine physical activity levels. This project was designed to supplement an existing Active Living Research project titled Adolescent Physical Activity and the Urban Environment lead by Principal Investigator Carolyn Voorhees, Ph.D. by expanding the capacity of the current study’s analysis to also include dietary factors. The study population was predominantly African American high school students in Baltimore, MD. Dietary characteristics such as intake of fresh fruits and vegetables, high-fat foods, fast foods, and soft drinks were assessed using an established dietary survey. The neighborhood and school food environments in which the adolescents live was assessed.
