Official title

Advanced Cooking Education (ACE) 4-H After School Club Full Scale Study

Overview

The aim of this study is to assess the impact of an in-person multi-component Advanced Cooking Education (ACE) 4-H after school program. The ACE Program consists of mindfulness, nutrition education, cooking labs, and professional development activities.

Detailed description

The ACE program is conducted with 7th and 8th grade students attending New York City (NYC) Title I middle schools. Participants attend weekly sessions (2hour) after school to participate in mindfulness, nutrition lessons, and professional development activities. On another day in the week, students participate in cooking labs at their own time at their homes. The investigators hypothesize that after the program, adolescents' diet quality, cooking-related skills, stress levels will be improved compared to prior of the program.

Interventions

  • Behavioral ACE intervention
    Participants attend the ACE Program for 12 weeks after school. On one assigned day of the week, participants attend ACE in person after school. The session begins with mindfulness exercises (20 minutes), nutrition education lesson/cooking lab (65 minutes, odd weeks) OR professional development session (65 minutes, even weeks). On any day during the 2-week cooking period, the students will make a dish using groceries they received with their parent/guardian (1 hour).
