Participatory Trial of a Health Promoting School Approach to Positive Youth Development and Wellness Promotion
Assess the effects of a school-based multi-component intervention on school connectedness,
school engagement, and developmental assets through a group randomized, participatory trial.
school engagement, and developmental assets through a group randomized, participatory trial.
Health Promoting Schools intervention including pilot-tested teacher professional
development, student-defined enhanced environment, and parent-defined enhanced
community/family connection. The Coalition will finalize the intervention using a phased
intervention map that integrates community perspectives with theoretical approaches to
evidence based practices. The study aims will be accomplished through a group randomized
trial in 10 urban schools with diverse populations representing approximately 1,900 students.
Aim 1: Assess the effects of a school-based multi-component intervention on school
connectedness, school engagement, and developmental assets through a group randomized,
participatory trial.
Hypothesis 1a: Students in the intervention schools will experience improved school
connectedness, engagement and developmental assets compared to the control group.
Aim 2: Assess the effects of a school-based multi-component intervention on emotional
well-being, tobacco and other substance use, and academic outcomes through a group
randomized, participatory trial.
Hypothesis 2a: Students in the intervention schools will experience improved emotional
well-being, course completion, attendance, and decreased disciplinary action and substance
use compared to the control group.
Aim 3: Evaluate the relationships between participatory factors , school intervention
implementation, and study outcomes.
Exploratory hypothesis 3a: Perceptions of quality of collaborative processes will be
associated with degree of school intervention implementation and study outcomes.
Exploratory hypothesis 3b: School capacities and context will be associated with school
intervention implementation and study outcomes.
Exploratory hypothesis 3c: School capacities and context will mediate the relationship
between quality of collaborative processes and school intervention implementation.
