266 CATCH Healthy Habits: Intergenerational, Evidence-Based Approaches to Preventing Obesity After School

CATCH Healthy Habits, an intergenerational adaptation of the evidence-based Coordinated Approach to Child Health (CATCH) program, encourages children (grades K-5) to increase physical activity and improve nutrition through a series of sessions facilitated by trained lay adult volunteers, age 50-plus, in place of paid staff in after-school settings. During this interactive activity session, the program’s design, volunteer engagement strategies, results and cost-effectiveness will be presented and session techniques demonstrated by a local program volunteer team.
