SWITCH Implementation Effectiveness Trial

Schools in the Standard implementation model received web-based training, access to on online education / tracking system and programming resources (modules, posters, trinkets) to facilitate wellness programming in their school. They completed audit tools at the beginning to facilitate goal setting and received weekly emails during the 12-week implementation process.

Schools in the Enhanced implementation model received the same training, web-access, and programming resources as those in the Standard implementation, but also received enhanced monthly support during implementation from the project team. The supplemental web calls (completed jointly by Extension leaders and SWITCH staff) utilized motivational interviewing to help schools build capacity and to enhance motivation for wellness programming.
