简要总结
The South Texas Early Prevention Study-Prekindergarten (STEPS-PreK4) was a cluster randomized trial (CRT) of preschool children 4 years of age to test the effect of the Bienestar/NEEMA Coordinated School Health Program (BN CSHP) on childhood obesity prevalence prevention.
详细描述
The STEPS-PreK4 was a CRT where preschools, embedded within elementary schools, were the unit of randomization, intervention, and analysis. The study was designed for two years of intervention (pre-kinder to kindergarten) and four data collection periods (fall 2018, spring 2019, fall 2019, and spring 2020). Due to the COVID-19 pandemic the study was stopped prematurely and only results from the first three periods will be presented.
The two school districts where the study was conducted are located along the Texas-Mexico border in the county of Hidalgo. These school districts were selected because of the high poverty and health risk-factors levels.25 The preschools have two grade levels with children 3 and 4 years of age. The present study targeted preschools with children 4 years of age. Demographics of the two school districts were similar, 99% Hispanic, 92% economically disadvantaged, and 42% identified as English as a second language.
