Coordinated Approach To Child Health (CATCH)
Does CATCH Work?
• Reduced total fat and saturated fat content of school lunches
• Increased moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) during PE classes
• Improved students’ self-reported eating and physical activity behaviors
• Effects persisted over three years without continued interventionLuepker et al., 1996; Nader et al. ,1999

• People can learn by the observation of others (peer modeling)
• Stories of the role models fit with the target audience (they are understandable, realistic, & contain useful information)
