- W2016311717 abstract "Established evidence indicates that teenagers in low-income communities have higher rates of obesity, poor health and inactivity. This project sought to locate and identify the barriers that prevent teenagers in low-income communities from engaging in physical activity or participating in organized exercise. This research was conducted using a qualitative, Grounded Theory method. Research procedures included the use of open-ended written survey/questionnaires, one on one interviews, and field notes from an 8 week pilot wellness program implemented for teens in a low income, semi-urban community in Southeast Michigan. Data collection took place prior to the program's start and following the program's conclusion. This resulted in collection over a 32 week period during consecutive summers, meeting the standards and procedures of the center's ethics committee. Information was collected from a total of 41 community youth. Interviews were conducted by the primary investigator and a research assistant from the community during the program and following its completion. Field notes were collected during the duration of the program by the primary investigator and included communications with participants, instructors, electronic data sources, staff members from the sponsoring organization and other members of the community. Data was analyzed using thematic and line-by-line coding techniques consistent with the Grounded Theory method. From the data, two major categories emerged that best describe the barriers to exercise faced by low-income teens in our program. These barriers can be classified as either a “reality” or a “perception”. Within each of these categories, five themes were identified; peer group or age limitations, school or academic pressures, family life, community structures, and systematic or functional limitations. Participants in our program/study reported and evidenced a variety of challenges to their personal and collective well being, as it related to their personal ability to exercise. Across all themes, data suggested perceptions on the part of participants and actual, tangible realities inherent to the individual, community, or system that prevented exercise. These categories were deemed to be equivalent in detriment, as both had the potential to provide real, insurmountable barriers to wellness for our participants. Low-income teens face a variety of challenges when it comes to exercising and being healthy. The pressures of age, the desire to “fit in”, body image, pressures from school, home, and parents, as well as the functional structure of community and civil life combine to work against teens and prevent them from committing and sustaining a practice of regular exercise. Because these barriers to exercise in low income communities are so numerous and functionally insurmountable that actors who attempt to take on the role of addressing problems of inaction and poor health must approach each challenge with a systematic, focused strategy that relies (if not extensively) primarily on the reported needs of the target population." @default.
