Detailed Description

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

The ACE program is conducted with 7th and 8th grade students attending New York City (NYC) Title I middle schools. Participants attend weekly sessions (2hour) after school to participate in mindfulness, nutrition lessons, and professional development activities. On another day in the week, students participate in cooking labs at their own time at their homes. The investigators hypothesize that after the program, adolescents' diet quality, cooking-related skills, stress levels will be improved compared to prior of the program.

ACE intervention

The ACE Program is a culturally inclusive, 4-H after school club where youth meet once a week for 12 weeks after school in person. They also receive groceries to make a meal 1 day every 2 weeks.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

ACE intervention

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Participants attend the ACE Program for 12 weeks after school. On one assigned day of the week, participants attend ACE in person after school. The session begins with mindfulness exercises (20 minutes), nutrition education lesson/cooking lab (65 minutes, odd weeks) OR professional development session (65 minutes, even weeks).
