The objective of this set of studies, conducted from 2001 to 2005, was to develop reliable and valid physical activity, sedentary behavior, and diet screening measure for use with adolescents in primary care settings. Psychosocial measures also were developed and evaluated, consistent with social cognitive theory and the transtheoretical basis. These are brief measures, suitable for use in multi-behavior studies.
