Brief Summary

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

A systems approach emphasizes the linkage between individual behavior change strategies and social and physical environmental changes, which act synergistically to facilitate (or inhibit) healthy eating and active living. We hypothesize that among low income, ethnically diverse overweight and obese children, aged 2-12 years, a systems approach to child obesity will reduce BMI compared to primary prevention alone.

Study Groups

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

Intervention

Elementary schools and Head Start centers in the intervention catchment areas implemented (1) an enhanced Coordinated Approach To Child Health (CATCH) program for elementary schools using the CATCH Coordination Guide (Enhanced CATCH Elementary School Program), and (2) CATCH Early Childhood program for Head Start Centers.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Enhanced CATCH Elementary School Program

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Enhanced CATCH Elementary School Program is a Coordinated School Health Program that includes the CATCH Coordination Guide.

CATCH Early Childhood (CEC)

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Implementation of the CATCH Early Childhood coordinated nutrition and physical activity program for Early Care and Education (ECE) centers.

Comparison

Elementary schools and Head Start centers in the comparison catchment area used their regular school and early care and education (ECE) nutrition and physical activity programs. Elementary schools were required by law to implement a coordinated school health program.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group
