Resumo

Este artigo apresenta o projeto e a avaliação de uma rede social on-line usada junto a 22 programas “pós-escola”, envolvendo as três maiores áreas urbanas no Nordeste dos Estados Unidos. O principal objetivo foi capacitar os estudantes com relação à prevenção da obesidade mediante o uso de alimentação saudável e a prática de exercícios físicos. Uma rede social on-line foi projetada para dar suporte às comunicações entre os participantes. Os resultados indicaram o potencial das redes sociais on-line com cuidados preventivos e ações comunitárias em torno dos temas relacionados; contudo, uma atenção maior é necessária para programas voltados ao desenvolvimento profissional dos facilitadores, para características de projeto mais bem elaboradas, de modo a suportar o pensamento crítico, a presença social e as atividades sociais.
