The primary objective is to assess pre- and post-intervention nutrition education knowledge and preference. The secondary objective is to assess pre- and post-intervention fruit and vegetable consumption via a plate waste study.

Read the detailed description

Background: The prevalence of overweight and obese children in the United States is at epidemic proportions, making it a recognized public health priority. Overweight and obese children are more likely to remain overweight and obese as adults, which increases their risk for developing obesity-related diseases and psychological disorders. Research shows that regular consumption of fruit and vegetables (F/V) may reduce the risk of obesity and obesity-related diseases yet most American school children fail to meet recommended intakes .

Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine if a F/V-targeted nutrition education intervention would increase F/V preference, knowledge, and consumption among elementary-school students.

Methods: Eight 20-minute nutrition lessons, focusing on F/V consumption, were administered over an eight-week period to 3rd and 5th grade students (N=150) at a local Ellensburg School District elementary school . Pre/post surveys were used to examine F/V knowledge and preference. Researchers observed and photographed students' lunches for 5-consecutive days pre- and post- intervention to assess possible change in consumption patterns.

Results: Data is currently under analysis. Conclusions: To be determined June 2017.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing nutrition education in people with Obesity, run by Central Washington University.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Jun 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change in nutrition knowledge (time frame: Nutrition knowledge surveys will be administered during week 1 and again at week 10 after the 8 week nutrition education intervention). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 7 Jun 2017.
