Brief Summary

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

Healthy School Recognized Campus is a Texas A\&M AgriLife Extension initiative that supports the delivery of school-based physical activity and nutrition programs for diverse youth across Texas. The purpose of this study is to improve the delivery of these programs and optimize the effect they have on youth's cardiovascular risk factors.

Detailed Description

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

The investigators will conduct a group randomized factorial trial using the Multiphase Optimization STrategy (MOST) framework to evaluate the impact (i.e., implementation and effectiveness) of three implementation strategies on program implementation and youth's cardiovascular disease risk. HSRC is a Texas A\&M AgriLife Extension initiative that supports the delivery of school-based physical activity and nutrition programs.

Elementary schools in North and East Texas (n=16) of similar socio-economic status will be randomized at baseline to receive either 3, 2, 1, or no strategies to support HSRC program implementation. All schools will participate in HSRC during the full school year.

The investigators hypothesize that one strategy will result in significantly greater HSRC implementation and effectiveness than the other strategies tested.
