Clinical Trial Summary

Cluster randomized trial to evaluate the impact of a health promotion intervention (the SI! - Program NYC) on the adapted Ideal Cardiovascular Health score (aICH) in children enrolled in New York City elementary schools.

Description:

Cluster randomized trial to evaluate the impact of a health promotion intervention (the SI! - Program NYC) on the adapted Ideal Cardiovascular Health score (aICH) in children enrolled in New York City elementary schools. This study will enroll children of ages 5 to 6 and teachers from participating schools. Participating schools will be randomized to an intervention group or a control (non-intervention group). The SI! Program intervention will incorporate a comprehensive vision of cardiovascular health promotion that encompasses four basic components: body and heart, physical activity, healthy diet, and emotional management. The intervention will take place at baseline and a reintervention will take place at 2 years-follow up. The research team will assess an adapted version of the Ideal Cardiovascular Health (aICH) score (that includes body-mass-index Z-score, physical activity, diet, sleep time and smoking exposure) and the Knowledge, Attitudes, and Habits (KAH) score. The aICH will be evaluated at baseline, 2 years and 4 years follow-up; the KAH will be evaluated at baseline and after the first intervention, and prior and after the second intervention. The research team will also study the influence of factors in parents (socioeconomic and health-related variables), teachers (stress, teaching motivation, and health status), and the environment (pollution, housing, and neighborhood conditions) through parent/caregiver questionnaires, teacher questionnaires, publicly available data, and pollution data sourced from NASA satellites.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Adapted Ideal Cardiovascular Health Score (ICH)	The adapted ideal cardiovascular health score (ICH) includes 5 components: body-mass-index Z-score, physical activity, diet, sleep/screen time, and passive smoking status. The score will be calculated for five factors on a 0 to 100 scale, according to pre-defined, age adjused cut-offs recommended by the American Heart Association. Higher values represent better health outcomes.	Baseline

Secondary	Knowledge, Attitudes, and Habits Score	Questionnaires will be given to assess the knowledge (K), attitudes (A) and habits (H) of the children representing each of the components of the intervention (KAH-diet, KAH-physical activity, and KAH-human body). An overall score representing the intervention as a whole (overall KAH) will be derived from the 39 items, ranging from 0-80. The overall KAH score is derived from the sum of each component-specific score (Diet, 0 to 30 points; Physical activity, 0 to 30 points; and Human body, 0 to 20 points).	Baseline
