Abstract
The goal of the Texas GROW! EAT! GO! project is to assess the efficacy of a Coordinated School Health Program (CSH) enhanced with theory-based, family-focused, experiential garden, nutrition and physical activity programs on the prevalence of child obesity in third grade students. In Cohort 1 and 2, 1,600 students in 28 randomly assigned Title I schools received one of four treatments including Junior Master Gardener and/or Walk Across Texas over a one year period. Evaluation included student, parent surveys and child BMI. Data from 1405 students in Cohort 1 and 2 will document behavioral and BMI change related to treatment.
