The project just finished a second year of implementation with several of the year 1 implications and recommendations integrated into the approach. Both nursing schools provided the coaching sessions at the school sites and within small groups of children. Parent offerings and strategies such as email communications, were implemented to promote parent participation. Fresh fruit and vegetables was provided to the classrooms. Data were collected and are now being analyzed to evaluate the effects on child health behaviors and BMI. Project partners have remained engaged in the project and are actively participating in discussions about sustaining the program over time. Project staff members have also presented the project to the local
school board to discuss dissemination strategies.
