Summary
This trial aims to see how a cooking education program called ACE, which includes mindfulness, nutrition education, cooking labs, and professional development, affects participants.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for 7th and 8th grade students, along with their caregivers, from Title I funded schools in New York City. Participants must understand English and should not have taken part in previous ACE programs (Virtual or In-Person Pilot).
What is being tested?
The study evaluates the Advanced Cooking Education (ACE) program's effectiveness on healthy nutrition and adolescent behaviors. It includes mindfulness, nutritional education, cooking labs, and professional development activities.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this is an educational program rather than a medical intervention, traditional side effects are not applicable. However, participants may experience changes in eating habits or food preferences.
