Intervention

Behavioral:
• Health in Motion
Students interacted with the 30-minute program through a series of Transtheoretical Model (TTM) based assessments and tailored feedback messages. A full TTM intervention was delivered for physical activity, in which each of the appropriate constructs of the TTM based on stage of change was addressed. Optimally tailored interventions were delivered for fruit and vegetable consumption and limited TV viewing. These interventions offered feedback on the most important TTM constructs based on stage of change for each behavior. Multimedia components, including audio, video, and animations helped to capture students' interest.
