Co-Creating Active Middle School Communities to Increase Student Physical Activity
Sponsor: Deanna Hoelscher
Summary
The purpose of this study is to identify community-level barriers and facilitators for active transport and leisure physical activity and to co-create and test the effectiveness and longer-term sustainability of community-based physical activity intervention strategies in middle schools. Participation in this study may help the investigators and scientific community better understand and address child physical activity and health. This study will collect information about middle school children's physical activity behaviors, habits, knowledge, and activity. The UTHealth School of Public Health is leading the study together with the University of Texas at Austin.

Active Middle School Communities
This intervention will engage multi-sectoral and multi-generational community members and middle school students to co-produce (co-design, co-implementation, and co-evaluation) contextually-responsive intervention strategies to improve access to active transport and leisure, resulting in increased physical activity and decreased risk for chronic disease in middle school communities. This intervention will use community-based participatory methods, with resources provided for changes in the built environment around the school catchment area.
