Brief Summary

In May 2009 in Bogota, Colombia, the Si! program conducted a cluster randomized trial in 1216 children between the ages of 3 and 6 years old, and 928 parents with the aim of evaluating a five month education intervention to change knowledge, attitudes and habits related to a healthy diet and active lifestyle in preschoolers. The results showed that the program was feasible and effective. The Si! Program will perform a new follow up of its original children cohort, now between the ages of 9 and 13 years. The original cohort will be compared to a new comparable cohort to assess baseline knowledge, attitudes and habits of healthy lifestyles in knowledge, attitudes, habits and emotions towards a healthy lifestyles . A community pedagogical intervention in healthy lifestyles on cardiovascular health will be implemented in the intervention group.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Change in Ideal Cardiovascular Health Score (ICH)

    Using the metrics and criteria for individual ideal health factors and behaviors, the ideal cardiovascular health score (ICH) will be calculated for each metric (poor=0, intermediate=1, ideal=2 points; range=0-14 points for all seven metrics) and categorized them into three groups: poor (0-4 points), intermediate (5-9 points), and ideal (10-14 points). Higher values represent a better outcome.

    Baseline and 6 months

  • Change in KAH score in Children of the Original and Comparable Cohort

    Mean and standard deviation of the score of knowledge, attitudes, habits and emotions towards a healthy lifestyle in children will be determined, calculating the difference found between the baseline measurement and the measurement at the end of the study in intervened and control groups in the Original and comparable cohort. Possible differences between changes in means will be assessed using test t-test. Multi-variable models will be performed to adjust for potential con-founders.

Study Arms (2)

Investigational

EXPERIMENTAL

An education intervention will be implemented for 600 children from the original cohort (300) and comparable cohort (300) over a four month period at community centers. These sessions will occur twice a month on the weekends. The education intervention will help increase the children's knowledge of attitudes, and habits of healthy lifestyles.

Other: Education Intervention

Control

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

The control group will consist of 600 children from the original cohort (300) and comparable cohort (300). The control group will meet twice a month for four months at community centers. During these sessions, investigators will teach a curriculum that is not related to knowledge, attitudes, and habits towards healthy lifestyles.

Other: Control

Interventions

The education intervention will help increase the children's knowledge of attitudes, and habits of healthy lifestyles. The program will cover self care of the body and heart, emotional management, healthy diet, and physical activity.

Investigational
ControlOTHER

The control will not receive an education program relating to knowledge, attitudes, nor habits of healthy lifestyles. Instead, these sessions will occur twice a month, and will last an hour and forty-five minutes. The control program is titled "Life's Challenges", which will focus on helping children develop skills necessary for day to day life, is divided into four modules: Person, Family, School, and Environment. There will be four different types of activities used throughout the program including: "Lets Think," "Lets Experiment," "We will finish with...or synthesis," and "Not here."
