South Texas Early Prevention Studies PreK

Intervention group received the BN CHSP, a Texas Education Agency (TEA)-approved CSHP. This health program was first piloted in schools located in low-income neighborhoods where enrollment was predominantly Black and Latino children. The Social-Ecological Model guided the BN CSHP design. This theory postulates that health behaviors are molded by individual, interpersonal, and environmental interactions. Thus, BN CSHP encompasses curricula from preschool to eighth grade and is designed to target the four environments that influence children's health behaviors: 1) Healthy Lifestyles Healthy Minds (Health), 2) Moving For Life (Physical Education), 3) Eat to Live (Child Nutrition/School Food Service), and 4) MyFamily/MiFamilia (Home).
