Research is lacking on how to make effective programs available on a large scale and how to maintain levels of implementation. CATCH: A Study of Institutionalization (CATCH-ON) was designed to help us understand the conditions under which such programs are institutionalized after the trial has ended. The Child and Adolescent Trial for Cardiovascular Health (CATCH) was the largest field trial of school-based health promotion in the United States conducted in 96 schools in four geographic areas of the United States: California, Louisiana, Minnesota. and Texas. The intervention was multicomponent, targeting school policy and practices in nutrition, physical activity, health education, and smoking. This report provides background on the CATCH study design, the conceptual framework for research on institutionalization of the CATCH program, and an overview of the seven original reports that present results from the CATCH-ON study in this theme issue.
关于如何大规模提供有效项目以及如何维持实施水平的研究尚属欠缺。心血管健康儿童与青少年试验制度化研究（CATCH-ON）旨在帮助我们了解试验结束后此类项目得以制度化的条件。儿童与青少年心血管健康试验（CATCH）是美国规模最大的以学校为基础的健康促进实地试验，在美国四个地理区域的96所学校开展：加利福尼亚州、路易斯安那州、明尼苏达州和得克萨斯州。干预措施是多方面的，针对学校在营养、体育活动、健康教育和吸烟方面的政策及做法。本报告提供了CATCH研究设计的背景、CATCH项目制度化研究的概念框架，以及概述了七份原始报告，这些报告呈现了本期主题中CATCH-ON研究的结果。
