Summary

This study tested whether a school-based gardening, nutrition, and cooking program could help low-income Hispanic children eat more vegetables and maintain a healthy weight. Over 3,000 students in 16 Texas elementary schools took part, with some schools getting the program and others serving as a comparison. The program included building gardens, teaching lessons, and involving families, with the goal of improving diet and reducing obesity risk.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Weight status: Normal weight children (age- and sex-specific BMI\<85th percentile based on CDC BMI growth charts68) and overweight and obese children (BMI≥85th percentile). * Gender and Age: Students in 3rd-5th grades (8 to 11 y) and their parents * Hispanic Origin: This study will include all ethnicities/races; however, the selected schools are \>50% Hispanic, and therefore, we expect the majority of our students and parents to be Hispanic. Exclusion Criteria: * Children or parents presently taking medication(s) or diagnosed with any disease that could influence dietary intake or body composition * Previously diagnosed with any major illness since birth (e.g. chronic birth asphyxia, cancer, etc.) * Any physical, cognitive, or psychological disability that would prevent participation in the study.
