The goal of this study is to learn if a culturally relevant health promotion curricula prevents obesity among 4th graders in rural tribal schools. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1) Does the health promotion curricula intervention increase diet and physical activity behaviors in 4th grade students? Researchers will compare 4th grade classes who will receive intervention at two intervention schools to 4th grades at two comparison schools who will not receive the intervention.
All participants will have their skin carotenoids assessed using Veggie Meter, complete 24-hour diet recall via telephone, height and weight measured, body composition, answer two surveys about perceptions of their school environment practices and diet patterns at school, wear accelerometers for 7 days

Body Mass Index
Determine height and weight measurements for BMI using calibrated Tanita SC-331S Body Composition Analyzer and SECA Stadiometer
Time frame
From enrollment to the end of the intervention at 9 months2
24-hour dietary recalls
Diet recalls will be conducted within a 2-week period (2 weekdays and 1 weekend day) using the Nutrition Data System for Research. Trained interviewers will administer the 24-hour recalls over the telephone
Time frame
From enrollment to the end of the intervention at 9 months3
Veggie Meter
The veggie meter uses a low-energy blue light to quantify changes in skin carotenoid levels using resonance spectrosocopy. The pad of the index finger is scanned.
Time frame
From enrollment to the end of the intervention at 9 months4
Physical activity wrist acclerometer (ActiGraph)
Participants will wear the device for 7 days and nights to capture moderate and vigorous physical activity and sleep.
