School climate impacts the Child and Adolescent Trial for Cardiovascular Health (CATCH) program. Positive school environments supported the CATCH classroom component

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • School Health Promotion
  • Behavioral Science

Background:

  • School climate encompasses physical and psychosocial factors influencing school environments.
  • The Child and Adolescent Trial for Cardiovascular Health (CATCH) program aimed to improve student health.
  • Understanding factors associated with program sustainability is crucial for public health initiatives.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the association between school climate and the continued implementation of the CATCH program.
  • To identify which components of the CATCH program were influenced by school climate.
  • To inform strategies for institutionalizing school health promotion programs.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized data from the CATCH study.
  • Assessed CATCH program components through nutrient analysis of menus, physical education (PE) class observations, and teacher/staff self-reports.

  • Measured various aspects of school climate.

    • Main Results:

    • School climate was significantly associated with the continued implementation of the CATCH classroom component.
    • No significant association was found between school climate and the CATCH food service or PE components.
    • Specific school climate factors may predict readiness for health program adoption.

    Conclusions:

    • School climate plays a role in the sustained success of certain school health initiatives, particularly classroom-based interventions.
    • The findings suggest that school climate assessments can guide the planning and implementation of innovative health programs.
    • Tailoring implementation strategies based on school climate may enhance program institutionalization.
