Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The objective of the study is to evaluate the effects of Program SI! for Elementary in different times of exposure for childrens and their immediate environment (teachers and parents). For this purpose, 48 public schools from the Community of Madrid-South Area (Spain) were randomly assigned to Program SI! during 3 or 6 academic years (intervention group) or keep their normal curriculum (control group). The main outcome is 3-year, and 6-year changes from baseline of questionnaire scoring of children, their parents and teachers in regards to a healthy lifestyle. For children were included 3-year, and 6-year changes of cardiovascular markers derived from blood pressure and anthropometry.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The Program SI! is a multilevel school-based intervention integrating four cardiovascular health-related components (diet, physical activity, human body and emotions management). Since the Program SI! for preschoolers has shown good results in improving healthy lifestyle habits in children aged 3 to 5 years, the investigators have developed the Program SI! for Elementary addressed to children from 6 to 11 years. The objective of the study is to evaluate the effects of Program SI! for Elementary in different times of exposure for childrens and their immediate environment (teachers, parents and school). In the Community of Madrid-South Area (Spain), 48 public schools from were randomly assigned to Program SI! for Elementary during 3 or 6 academic years (intervention group) or keep their normal curriculum (control group). The main outcome is 3-year, and 6-year changes from baseline of questionnaire scoring of children, and the secondary outcome is 3-year, and 6-year changes from baseline of questionnaire scoring of their parents and teachers in regards to a healthy lifestyle, as well as changes in the school environment. For children were included 3-year, and 6-year changes of cardiovascular markers derived from blood pressure and anthropometry (weight, height, waist circumference and skinfold thickness). The Program SI! for Elementary is designed for different exposures in a sample of schools never intervened to asses when the intervention has the most effectiveness. Besides, as some schools involved in the preschool study continues the Program SI! for Elementary, the investigators can be able to evaluate the impact of the Program SI! in different school stages, concluding how children keep the adoption of healthy behaviors from early in life.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Program SI! for Elementary 6 levels

The core intervention comprises classroom activities grouped in healthy challenges (about diet, physical activity, human body and heart, and emotions management) distributed across the different levels and implemented by the corresponding teachers. All the materials, formal training and a teaching guide are provided to the school staff by the SHE Foundation. Families receive family-challenges and key messages about their children's health. The school environment is intervened mainly through an annual Healthy Fair. The intervention is implemented during all the elementary levels (PSIE13+PSIE46).

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

PSIE13

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The Program SI! is implemented from 1st to 3rd grade of Elementary. A total of 40 hours of intervention on 1st and 2nd grade and 30 hours on 3rd grade has been established as the minimum intervention per year.

PSIE46

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The Program SI! is implemented from 4th to 6th grade of Elementary. A total of 30 hours of intervention has been established as the minimum intervention per year.

Normal curriculum

The schools on the control group keep their normal curriculum and don't join any school program about health until the end of the study.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group

Program SI! for Elementary first levels

The core intervention comprises classroom activities grouped in healthy challenges (about diet, physical activity, human body and heart, and emotions management) distributed across the different levels and implemented by the corresponding teachers. All the materials, formal training and a teaching guide are provided to the school staff by the SHE Foundation. Families receive family-challenges and key messages about their children's health. The school environment is intervened mainly through an annual Healthy Fair. To evaluate the effects of different exposures to the program, the intervention is implemented in the first three levels (PSIE13).
