RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE: Immigrant youth in the United States are at greater risk for weight management problems than non-Hispanic White youth. We used the Pizzi Healthy Weight Management Assessment (PHWMA) to capture data on health perceptions and weight management behaviors among adolescent Burmese refugees. METHOD: We conducted a retrospective descriptive study of 20 Burmese refugee high school students. RESULTS: The results captured an understanding of health perceptions and weight management behaviors of the program participants. The PHWMA was found to be a valid and reliable tool for use by occupational therapy practitioners. CONCLUSION: Findings from this study can inform program development and evaluation in outreach efforts to enhance minority youths' health and well-being.
