Reduce Child Obesity: A Guide to Using The Kid s Choice Program in
School and at Home provides school leaders with a practical guide
for applying the Kid's Choice Program (KCP), which is a
school-based program to promote healthy behaviors and reduce the
risk of child obesity. The KCP Guide may also be used by health
researchers to document the program's effectiveness. The KCP was
researched with 1000+ school-age children and documented to be
easy-to-use, low in cost (at $2 per child per month), and effective
for increasing weight management behaviors in children (eating
fruits and vegetables, choosing low-fat and low-sugar drinks,
exercising daily). Research also documents that the KCP improves
weight status in overweight children (for intervention) and
normal-weight children (for prevention). Additionally, the program
improves diets of children who are picky eaters. The KCP can be
delivered by small teams of 2-4 volunteers (such as parents) after
five minutes of training. It uses simple procedures (children wear
nametags, "stars" punched in nametags when children choose healthy
behaviors, weekly Reward Days let children trade "stars" for small
prizes). The KCP is well-accepted by children, parents, and school
staff. For more information on the KCP, please visit
