6 Program Overview It s All About Kids Executive Summary Tulsa City-County Health Department (TCCHD) implemented the It s All About Kids program in order to improve health outcomes for first through fifth grade students. It s All About Kids is a prevention program that encourages kids to make healthy choices and habits for a brighter future. The program has four goals: 1) improve healthy lifestyles, 2) reduce obesity, 3) improve school performance, and 4) build decision making. TCCHD implemented a health and nutrition program including the CATCH nutrition program including pre- and post-test analysis, body mass index (BMI) measurements, and blood pressure (BP) measurement. Data was collected in the spring and fall of 2012 and the spring of 2013, and then analyzed to determine the effects of the programs on student knowledge retention of the nutrition program, BMI score changes, BP scores changes, fitness measurements, and a summary of community events and presentations. The purpose of this report is to provide the results for the It s All About Kids program for school year. CATCH Nutrition Program The CATCH Nutrition program is a coordinated school health program that unites parents, teachers, children, and community partners in teaching children and their families about healthy practices. As a classroom health program, it teaches children healthy eating and physical activity habits. The CATCH Nutrition program was pre and post-tested in 7 schools with 146 participants. Results indicate significant differences between Section A, C and I scores examined. These findings suggest improvement in regards to student choices and perceptions. There were no statistically significant findings for Checklist scores. BMI and BP Study Body mass index (BMI) scores were collected in spring 2012 (451) and spring 2013 (198) from three schools. Scores were then characterized as underweight, normal, overweight, or obese based on percentiles defined by the Center for Disease Control (Center for Disease Control and Prevention, 2007 b). Matched BMI data were collected in the spring from 72 students attending three elementary schools. Blood pressure (BP) scores were collected in spring 2012 (451) and spring 2013 (198) semesters. Scores were then characterized as normal, prehypertension ( Pre-HTN ), Stage 1: hypertension ( Stage 1: HTN ), or Stage 2: hypertension ( Stage 2: HTN ) based on percentiles defined by the US Department of Health and Human Services (US Department of Health and Human Services, 2007). 6

7 Anonymous student identifiers, which are used to protect the privacy of students, were used to track individual changes over time. Thus, comparisons can be made from spring 2013 to spring 2013 on an individual level basis with regards to BMI and BP scores. Because of the small sample size in the spring, mean scores were reported by grade and overall school results presented in graphs for the spring data. Chi-square analyses were computed to examine BMI rates of change by grade; these analyses are presented in table format. On the whole, findings are mixed with some improvements observed and some negative changes observed. Overall, there was statistically significant change for BMI scores with both positive change and negative change (see Graph 6). Overall, there was statistically significant change for systolic or diastolic blood pressure (see Graphs 15-16). Oral Health Program According to TCCHD, the Oral Health program provides instruction about caring for teeth to fourth grade students. The goals are to provide an understanding of the causes and prevention of tooth decay and gum disease, and instruct on proper tooth brushing and dental flossing. The two-session course was implemented in 11 schools. The Oral Health program was designed to track differences in pre- and post-test scores. T-test results indicate a significant difference between the pre- and post-test. These findings suggest an increase in students knowledge of oral health. Nutrition Detectives According to TCCHD, Nutrition Detectives was developed by David Katz, MD, MPH, FACPM, FACP, Director of the Yale Prevention Research Center and Catherine Katz, PhD. The program teaches students 5 clues to healthy eating and making healthy choices. Students learn how to read food labels and how to choose foods that are more nutritious. By the end of the program students have become Nutrition Detectives and earn their badge. The objectives of the program are to: 1) teach students to make healthful choices and detect marketing deceptions 2) give students the opportunity to practice what they have learned 3) empower students to share their detective skills with other family members. The two-session course was implemented in 4 schools with 307 students. A t-test analysis was used to examine differences in pre- and post-tests. The findings suggest that students knowledge of nutrition increased from the pre- to the post-test. 7

9 It s All About Kids Study Overview Purpose of Study The It s All About Kids (IAK) program is a school health program provided by Tulsa City County Health Department (TCCHD). Based upon the Center for Disease Control s Coordinated School Health Program model, the program is comprised of eight areas of focus including physical education, nutrition and healthy eating, community health services, social services, health education, parent/community involvement, health promotion for school personnel, and ancillary services such as dental education and outreach. The goal of the program is to provide a prevention model for elementary school-aged youth to improve healthy lifestyles, reduce obesity, improve school performance and enhance decision making and negotiation skills. The program is offered to low-performing schools in Northeast Oklahoma, including schools with poor attendance rates, schools lacking a physical education instructor, schools with poor parental involvement, and schools with limited access to healthcare services. A list of participating schools is available in Appendix A. The purpose of the current report is to provide TCCHD with the fall 2012, spring 2012 and spring 2013 final results of the program evaluation for the It s All About Kids program. Methodology The purpose of this study was to analyze data collected from TCCHD to determine the effectiveness of the It s All About Kids program. The University of Oklahoma, Center of Applied Research for Nonprofit Organizations, analyzed data collected by TCCHD. Data includes nutrition scores from the CATCH nutrition test, BMI and BP data, Oral Health, and Nutrition Detectives. Because the study involves analysis of multiple program components, methodology, results and discussion sections are presented under individual headings. 9

11 It s All About Kids CATCH Nutrition Program Purpose of Study The CATCH Nutrition program is a coordinated school health program that unites parents, teachers, children and community partners in teaching children and their families about healthy lifestyle practices. As a classroom health program, children learn healthy eating and physical activity habits. Methodology The CATCH Nutrition program pre- and post-test was administered to 146 fourth grade students in 7 schools. TCCHD used a pre- and post-test model to measure knowledge retention. The test consisted of four sections: Pre and Post Section A, Pre and Post Section C, Pre and Post Section I, and Pre and Post Checklist. In the Section A portion, students are asked 13 questions in regard to food choices; for each item, two food choices are provided. Higher scores indicate healthier food choices. The Section C is comprised of 14 items and questions students knowledge of healthy food in a 2-point multiple choice format (example: Which of these foods is better for your health? ). Higher scores indicate more knowledge of healthy foods. The Section I is comprised of 15 items which deal with students belief in their ability to make healthy choices (examples: I can eat fruit every day. I can play hard during most of recess. ). Questions are presented in a 3-point Likert type response format (1 Not Sure; 2 A Little Sure; 3 Very Sure). Higher scores indicate a decrease in negative self-perceptions in regard to the ability to make healthy choices. The Checklist section is a food checklist comprised of 34 items with a yes or no response format. Students are asked, Yesterday, did you eat or drink any of these foods? Higher scores indicate healthier food choices. A series of t-tests were computed to examine differences in mean scores on the pre- and post-test measures. Results The following graphs depict the results of the CATCH Nutrition program scores. 11

As the preceding graph illustrates, there are statistically significant differences between the Section A, Section C and Section I pre- and post-tests indicating improvement. Section A scores [t (146) = ; p <.001] significantly increased indicating students chose healthier foods. Section C [t (146) = ; p <.001] scores show significantly increased knowledge of healthy foods. Section I scores [t (146) = ; p <.05] were also significantly different suggesting a decrease in negative self-perceptions in regards to their ability to make healthy choices. Checklist scores [t (146) = 1.696; p >.001] were NOT statistically significant. 13

14 Discussion The CATCH Nutrition program was designed to track differences in pre- and post-test scores which consisted of four segments. Results indicate statistically significant differences between Section A, Section C and Section I scores examined in 7 schools with 146 participants. These findings suggest improvement in regards to student choices and perceptions. The CATCH Nutrition test is available in Appendix E. 14

15 It s All About Kids Body Mass Index and Blood Pressure Study 15

16 It s All About Kids Body Mass Index and Blood Pressure Study Purpose of Study TCCHD collected student body mass index (BMI) scores and blood pressure (BP) from elementary school students who participated in the It s All About Kids program. The following analyses and results are from spring 2012 and Methodology TCCHD collected BMI and BP scores from 451 students during spring 2012 and 198 students during spring Participating students were enrolled in grades first through sixth. Each time BMI and BP scores were collected, a TCCHD official recorded participants school, teachers name, student code, age, grade level, height, weight, systolic BP, and diastolic BP. TCCHD officials then calculated and recorded BMI scores based on the Center for Disease Control s (CDC) BMI calculation formula (Center for Disease Control and Prevention, 2007a): BMI = (weight in pounds x 703) (kg/m 2 ) height in inches 2 TCCHD provided the BMI information to the Center of Applied Research For Non-Profit Organizations for analysis. Student names were not identified with student scores; instead, TCCHD officials used codes in place of names for student tracking. OU researchers were given only codes to track student BMI scores. These procedures are followed to protect the privacy of participants. Because children s height and weight change as they mature, childhood BMI scores can be plotted onto the CDC s gender specific BMI-for-age Growth Charts (Center for Disease Control and Prevention, 2007c) to determine a percentile ranking. BMI raw scores were transformed into percentiles using the CDC s BMI percentile formula, which corresponds to the BMI-for-age Growth Charts; the formula is based on BMI, date of birth, gender, height, and age in months at time of assessment. Formulas are used rather than the growth charts to ensure greater accuracy. CDC s gender specific Growth Charts (Center for Disease Control and Prevention, 2007c) are located in Appendix B. The percentile ranking represents the child s BMI score among other children of the same age and gender. The BMI categories and the corresponding percentile are presented in Table 1 (Center for Disease Control and Prevention, 2007 b): 16

17 Table 1: BMI Category and Percentile Ranking BMI Category Underweight Healthy Weight Overweight Obese Percentile Ranking <5th percentile 5th percentile to < 85th percentile 85th percentile to < 95th percentile 95th percentile In addition, TCCHD provided BP scores to researchers at the Center of Applied Research For Non-Profit Organizations for analysis. Student codes rather than names were used to track students. BP raw scores were transformed into percentiles based on systolic BP, diastolic BP, date of birth, gender, height, and age in months at time of assessment. The charts for blood pressure levels by age and height percentile are presented in Appendix C (National Heart Lung and Blood Institute, 2008). BP scores were then characterized as normal, prehypertension ( Pre-HTN ), Stage 1: hypertension ( Stage 1: HTN ), or Stage 2: hypertension ( Stage 2: HTN ) based on percentiles defined by the US Department of Health and Human Services (2007; See Appendix D). Table 2: Systolic and Diastolic BP Category and Percentile Ranking BP Category Percentile Ranking Normal < 90th percentile Prehypertension 90th percentile to < 95th percentile Stage 1: Hypertension 95th percentile to 99th percentile Stage 2: Hypertension 99th percentile Note: The purpose of the present data is not to diagnose students with a given BP category. Further, doing so would be inaccurate since multiple measures of BP are required before a diagnosis can be made. Rather the purpose of this study is to obtain a general understanding of student BP categories. Participant demographics and BMI/BP categories from spring 2012 to spring 2013 semesters were analyzed to determine individual level changes of BMI categories between semesters. Results For the spring 2013 and 2013 semesters, 72 matched records were obtained from three schools. Frequency analyses were used to determine participant demographic characteristics. Graphs 3-5 depict demographic characteristics for the entire sample of unmatched participants (N = 450, spring 2012; N = 198, spring 2012). Because of small number of matches, BMI category changes were examined by grade level only (Note: 2012 spring grade level was used). Graphs 6-11 illustrate BMI changes and chi-square tests for matched data. Graphs illustrate blood pressure changes and chi-square tests for matched data. Finally, overall BMI categories and BP categories were examined for spring 2012 and 2013 (Graphs 25-28). 17

57 It s All About Kids Oral Health Program Purpose of Study According to TCCHD, the Oral Health program provides instruction about caring for teeth to fourth grade students. The goals are to provide an understanding of the causes and prevention of tooth decay and gum disease, and instruct on proper tooth brushing and dental flossing. The two-session course was implemented in 25 schools. Methodology The Oral Health program measure included a pre- and post-assessment that was developed by TCCHD personnel. The survey consisted of 6 questions in a multiple choice-type response format. Questions dealt with brushing one s teeth, dental plaque, cavities, toothbrushes, fluoride, and dental floss. Measurements were obtained by TCCHD personnel. A total of 702 students participated in the program Descriptive statistics are reported for the number of participants by school. In addition, a t-test analysis was used to examine differences in pre- and post-tests. Results The following graphs depict the results of the Oral Health program scores. 57

As the above graph illustrates, there is a statistically significant difference in pre- and post-test scores. Oral health scores increased from 4.0 to 5.1 [t (700) = ; p <.001]. These findings suggest that students knowledge of oral health increased from the pre- to the post-test. 59

60 Discussion The Oral Health program was designed to track differences in pre- and post-test scores. T-test results indicate a significant difference between the pre- and post-test. These findings suggest an increase in students knowledge of oral health. The Oral Health program test is available in Appendix F. 60

62 It s All About Kids Nutrition Detectives Purpose of Study According to TCCHD, Nutrition Detectives was developed by David Katz, MD, MPH, FACPM, FACP, Director of the Yale Prevention Research Center and Catherine Katz, PhD. The program teaches students 5 clues to healthy eating and making healthy choices. Students learn how to read food labels and how to choose foods that are more nutritious. By the end of the program students have become Nutrition Detectives and earn their badge. The objectives of the program are to: 1) teach students to make healthful choices and detect marketing deceptions 2) give students the opportunity to practice what they have learned 3) empower students to share their detective skills with other family members. The two-session course was implemented in four schools. Methodology The Nutrition Detectives program measure included a pre- and post-assessment that was developed by TCCHD personnel. The survey consisted of 10 questions comparing nutrition labels, asking the student to choose the healthier label. Measurements were obtained by TCCHD personnel. A total of 307 students participated in the program from four schools. Descriptive statistics are reported for the number of participants by school. In addition, a t-test analysis was used to examine differences in pre- and post-tests. Results The following graphs depict the results of the Nutrition Detective program scores. 62
