Abstract
High obesity rates among Americans Indians are associated with environmental factors that influence food and physical activity‐related behaviors. Formative research in Michigan consisted of 98 interviews (workshops, in‐depth, focus groups, and household groups). The AI household is a key influential environment upon health behaviors. Children as change agents can impact household diets and physical activity by “sharing” their learned knowledge from school, and by “encouraging,” “reminding,” and “asking” for healthier foods and to be physically active with them. Adults “listen” to and are “inspired” by children's “energy.” Intervention trials for AI communities will use a novel child as change agent approach for improving health behaviors among adult household members.
