Piloting a school-based health-education curriculum in a rural community to promote healthy behavior

Abstract

The ABC Pilot Project partners with schools to initiate health education training. The goal of this health-education curriculum is to develop sustainable healthy behaviors, promote wellness and prevent disease. This project centers on 5th grade students, as these years are the starting point for behavioral choices and development of self-image/self-esteem.
