Description

A school-based obesity-prevention programme combining universal nutrition and physical-activity activities with the targeted 12-week Get Fit intervention for students needing additional support.

Components

  • Universal prevention plus targeted intensive goal-setting tier for students needing additional support: The program combines a universal tier delivered to all participants with an intensive targeted tier for students identified as needing more support. All students are exposed to Prevention, "which includes physical activity, healthy snacks, nutrition education lessons, and parent workshops," while students who are overweight or obese "also participate in Get Fit, an intensive, 12-week program in which students identify and work on specific goals." This layered structure lets a broad educational base coexist with individualized goal work for a higher-need subgroup. (Mabli et al. (2017))
