Get in the GROOVE! (GROOVE)
Get in the GROOVE (Girls Realizing Options Through OpenSim Virtual Experiences)!
Get in the GROOVE! will address health disparities impacting underserved youth. Given the alarming rate of overweight and obesity among high school minority youth, the project will focus on middle school with the primary aim of reaching middle school girls before unhealthy habits become firmly ingrained.
The primary aim of the research project is to investigate the impact of two types of summer science enrichment programs (that focus on health and wellness) on middle school girls' self-efficacy, health knowledge, health behaviors, and interest in science. One program will present the curriculum by conventional means (GROOVE condition) while the second program will include the addition of a closed 3-D virtual world environment to reinforce concepts (GROOVE+ condition).
The following hypotheses will be tested in the randomized controlled trial:
- Upon completion of the summer program, the enhanced summer program GROOVE+ relative to the conventional summer program will result in a) increased self-efficacy for adopting healthy behavior change; b) increased health knowledge; c) enhanced science self-concept; and e) more positive behavior change (e.g., improved nutrition, increased physical activity).
- At follow-up, the enhanced summer program relative to the conventional summer program will result in further and/or sustained improvements in positive behavior health behaviors and attitudes.

アクティブコンパレータ:Summer wellness program - nutrition & physical activity
The GROOVE condition uses conventional means to address health-related activities and content within the context of a science museum summer enrichment program.
The emphasis is on nutrition, physical activity, and healthy lifestyle.
|
The enhanced virtual world education (GROOVE+) will be compared to conventional approach (GROOVE).
Each program is Monday-Friday, 9:30-3:30, for 3 weeks in the summer.

実験的:Summer program plus virtual world technology
The GROOVE+ condition enhances the conventional approach to address health-related activities and content within the context of a science museum summer enrichment program by employing technology and a 3-D virtual world as a key educational strategy.
The emphasis is on nutrition, physical activity, and healthy lifestyle.
|
The enhanced virtual world education (GROOVE+) will be compared to conventional approach (GROOVE).
