The purpose of this presentation is to describe the Physical Activity Partnership for Girls, an innovative intervention research planning study based on community-based participatory research (CBPR) principles that integrates new technologies. The first presentation will provide an overview of the Physical Activity Partnership for Girls (PG) research design and methods. The challenges and lessons learned in the community engagement process will be emphasized along with results from an internet-based community stakeholder survey. The second presentation will describe participatory photo mapping (PPM), a youth-led research approach whereby Latino girls (11-14 years) assessed enablers and barriers to physical activity in their neighborhoods and voiced their concerns to community leaders. The final presentation will focus on results from a survey conducted to assess the girls’ access and use of media including cell phone, internet, video games and social networking sites in order to identify the media channels which are most accessible for intervention delivery.
