Brief Summary:
The primary aims of this research project are to
1 Evaluate the efficacy of Camp NERF to improve child nutrition physical activity mental health and anthropometric outcomes
2 Evaluate the efficacy of Camp NERF to improve caregiver self-efficacy for establishing healthy family nutrition and physical activity practices amount of physical activity and BMI
3 Evaluate the efficacy of Camp NERF to improve youth mentor nutrition physical activity and anthropometric outcomes
1 Evaluate the efficacy of Camp NERF to improve child nutrition physical activity mental health and anthropometric outcomes

3 Evaluate the efficacy of Camp NERF to improve youth mentor nutrition physical activity and anthropometric outcomes
Detailed Description:
Background The number of obese children in the US remains high which is problematic due to the mental physical and academic effects of obesity on child health Data indicate that school-age children particularly underserved children experience unhealthy gains in BMI at a rate nearly twice as fast during the summer months Few efforts have been directed at implementing evidence-based programming to prevent excess weight gain during the summer recess
Methods Camp NERF is an 8-week multi-component nutrition physical activity and mental health theory-based program for underserved school-age children in grades Kindergarten - 5th grade coupled with the USDA Summer Food Service Program Twelve eligible elementary school sites will be randomized to one of the three programming groups 1 Active Control non-nutrition physical activity or mental health 4H curricula 2 Standard Care nutrition and physical activity or 3 Enhanced Care nutrition physical activity and mental health programming Anthropometric behavioral and psychosocial data will be collected from child-caregiver dyads pre- and post-intervention Site-specific characteristics and process evaluation measures will also be collected
Discussion This is the first evidence-based intervention to address the issue of weight gain during the summer months among underserved school-aged children Results from this study will provide researchers practitioners and public health professionals with insight on evidence-based programming to aid in childhood obesity prevention during this particular window of risk
