Abstract

Background: In the United States, only about 15% of individuals meet daily Fruit intake recommendations of 2 cups per day and only 10% meet the vegetable intake recommendations of 3 cups per day. African American women are a high-risk group. In this study, a fourth-generation multi-theory model (MTM) of health Behavior change was used to design and evaluate a Sisters Adding Fruits and Vegetables for Optimal Results (SAVOR) intervention for AA women. Methods: The study utilized a randomized controlled trial (RCT) with measurements taken at pretest, posttest (after the three-week intervention) and follow-up (at the end of eight weeks). SAVOR (n=26) was compared to an equivalent knowledge-based intervention (n=28). Process evaluation was done for program fidelity and satisfaction. A validated 38-item self-reported questionnaire was used to measure changes in MTM constructs and past 24-hour consumption of Fruits and Vegetables. Results: The SAVOR intervention resulted in improvement of mean consumption of Fruits and Vegetables in the experimental group from pre-test (2. 78) to posttest (4. 77) to recommended levels at follow-up (5. 04) while in the comparison group they remained at around 3 (P < 0. 0001) Statistically significant changes (P < 0. 05) were noted for all MTM constructs except for participatory dialogue. Conclusion: The SAVOR intervention was found to be efficacious and established the robustness of MTM. SAVOR can be replicated for future effectiveness trials.
