Rural teens eat more veggies after school program
NCT ID NCT01412697
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tested a school-based program to help rural seventh graders eat more fruits and vegetables. Over 1,100 students from ten Virginia middle schools took part. The program included goal setting, peer leaders, and classroom workshops. Results showed that students in the program ate more fruits and vegetables right after and even a year later, compared to students who only got standard health information.
