Cardiovascular (C-V) diseases, coronary artery disease and essential hypertension, are the leading causes of death in the United States. Evidence is clear that these disease processes begin in youth. The overall goal of the Children's Activity Trial for C-V Health (CATCH) is to develop, implement and evaluate a multi-center C-V health promotion program for upper elementary school-age children. Phase I of the trial consists of the development of three different programs and the implementation in four schools at each center. First, a cardiovascular curriculum is to be introduced to alter health behaviors through changes in knowledge, attitudes and beliefs. This curriculum is delivered by a trained classroom teacher. Second, a parent education and information program would reinforce the curriculum and introduce behavioral techniques to enhance healthy behaviors in the family. Third, specific components of the school environment are altered. Modifications made in the school lunch would reduce sodium and sucrose by 50% and fat by 30%. The school lunch program also serves as an experimental setting in which children have the opportunity to make choices between C-V healthy and non-healthy foods. Aerboic activities are introduced into the physical education program. In addition, after-school activities for students and school staff are part of a personalized exercise program. A CATCH-All committee consisting of teachers, parents, food service workers and community leaders will promote activities such as Health Fairs. The two-year trial (4th and 5th graders in first year) will be conducted in four schools in St. Charles Parish. Proximal to New Orleans, this parish is biracial and is representative of several rural areas of South Louisiana. The trial is designed such that the curriculum is administered in one school, the curriculum and parent program in a second school, the curriculum, parent control. Extensive evaluation measurements including C-V risk factor assessment, changes in behaviors and attitudes, and evaluation of process will be made. Most of the implementation procedures and evaluation methods have already been developed as part of the Heart Smart Program at LSU Medical Center. C-V health promotion in young children offers the opportunity to develop healthy lifestyles for prevention of future disease.

心血管 (C-V) 疾病、冠状动脉疾病和 原发性高血压是导致人们死亡的主要原因 美国。 有明确证据表明这些疾病过程 从青年时期开始。 儿童活动试验的总体目标 for C-V Health (CATCH) 的目的是开发、实施和评估 小学高年级多中心 C-V 健康促进计划 学龄儿童。 第一阶段试验包括 制定三个不同的计划并实施 每个中心的四所学校。 一、心血管课程 将通过改变健康行为来引入 知识、态度和信念。 本课程由 受过训练的课堂老师。 其次，家长的教育和 信息计划将加强课程和 引入行为技巧来增强健康行为 家人。 三、学校环境的具体组成 被改变。 对学校午餐进行的修改将减少 钠和蔗糖含量减少 50%，脂肪含量减少 30%。 学校午餐 该计划还作为一个实验环境，让孩子们 有机会在 C-V 健康和 非健康食品。 有氧运动被引入 体育课程。 此外，课后活动 对于学生和学校工作人员来说是个性化练习的一部分 程序。 由教师组成的 CATCH-All 委员会， 家长、食品服务人员和社区领袖将促进 健康博览会等活动。 为期两年的试验（第四次和第五次 一年级学生）将在圣路易斯的四所学校进行。 查尔斯·帕里什。 靠近新奥尔良，这个教区是混血儿 是路易斯安那州南部几个农村地区的代表。 该试验的设计使得课程的管理 一所学校，第二所学校的课程和家长计划， 课程，家长控制。 广泛的评估 测量包括 C-V 风险因素评估、 行为和态度以及过程评价。 大多数实施程序和评估方法 已经作为心脏智能计划的一部分而开发 在路易斯安那州立大学医疗中心。 幼儿 C-V 健康促进 提供发展健康生活方式以预防疾病的机会 未来的疾病。
