Brief Summary

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

The aim of the project is to evaluate the feasibility and acceptance of a teaching kitchen program as a worksite wellness program at Emory University

Detailed Description

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

The teaching kitchen model is an innovative, multidisciplinary approach for motivating and establishing healthful habits and behaviors. The self-care program combines didactic information with experiential learning in nutrition, culinary arts, exercise, yoga, and mindfulness. The aim of the project is to evaluate the feasibility and acceptance of teaching kitchen program as a worksite wellness program at Emory University. Changes in biomarkers and self-reported behaviors will be evaluated up to one year.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Teaching kitchen program

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The teaching kitchen program will include five 4-hour Saturday classes every other weekend over the course of 10 weeks (5 sessions totaling 20 hours of instruction). It will be taught by subject matter experts from the Emory University faculty and staff as well as potentially from the community. The classes will include the scientific rationale, practical applications, and recommendations for implementing self-care components into participants' daily lives. Experiential learning will include hands-on cooking demonstrations, mindfulness-based lunches, a yoga session, and a group exercise session. Rather than being prescriptive, the lectures and demonstrations are geared to inspire self-designed and personalized alterations in dietary patterns and behaviors that will match participants' culture, preferences, and health conditions. Biometrics and survey instruments will be assessed at 4 times: at baseline, after the 10-week program, and at 6 and 12 months after the program.
