Overview

Effective obesity prevention and treatment interventions are lacking in the US, particularly for impoverished minority youths. This study describes the launch and pilot implementation evaluation of the B'N Fit POWER initiative, a comprehensive wellness program designed to integrate weight management programming into existing school services. The initiative focused on building communication and trust among stakeholders, students, and families, while setting realistic and timely goals. New strategies were developed to increase screening rates, facilitate linkage to care, and integrate clinical and afterschool components into existing school services. This initial implementation evaluation utilized the Standards for Reporting Implementation Studies (StaRI) framework, using a hybrid approach combining the Reach element from the RE-AIM framework with a newly conceptualized Wellness Cascade.
