Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this study is to assess the impact of an in-person multi-component Advanced Cooking Education (ACE) 4-H after school program. The ACE Program consists of mindfulness, nutrition education, cooking labs, and professional development activities.


Description:

The ACE program is conducted with 7th and 8th grade students attending New York City (NYC) Title I middle schools. Participants attend weekly sessions (2hour) after school to participate in mindfulness, nutrition lessons, and professional development activities. On another day in the week, students participate in cooking labs at their own time at their homes. The investigators hypothesize that after the program, adolescents' diet quality, cooking-related skills, stress levels will be improved compared to prior of the program.
