Summary

Black Girls Move is a school-linked daughter/mother physical activity and dietary behavior program, with 9th and 10th grade students. This program is designed to prevent obesity in Black adolescent females and thus aligns with the NIH mission to enhance health, lengthen life, and reduce illness and disability. This project is relevant to public health because it holds the potential to reduce population health disparities impacted by structural racism.

Black Girls Move

Goal setting and monitoring. All BGM daughters will self-monitor their progress towards PA goals using a PA device, Fitbit®. Additionally, BGM daughters will self-monitor their progress towards diet goals using a mobile application, Start Simple with My Plate®. Further, all BGM mothers will use Fitbit® and Start Simple with My Plate® for self monitoring, however, mothers' data will not be analyzed for this study. Since the daughter/ mother relationship is critical to achieving behavioral change, BGM mothers will utilize Fitbit® and Start Simple with My Plate® as a mechanism to communicate, problem solve and support daughters' behavioral goals.BGM is situated within the contexts of environmental, cultural, interpersonal, and developmental factors impacted by structural racism. Intentionally engaging mothers and daughters in an asset based program provides a framework for mothers to model responses to structural racism i.e. racial socialization.
