In 1991, the Jefferson County Medical Society [now Greater Louisville Medical Society] developed a program designed to address many health issues facing the nation's schools. That program, Health Promotion Schools of Excellence (HPSE), has worked for the last 15 years to impact the health and physical fitness of school-aged children in Jefferson County while growing from 15 to 62 participating schools. Data collected from the HPSE program was analyzed in this study and suggests that the program may favorably impact the rate of childhood obesity among participating students. The epidemic of obesity continues to grow among Kentucky children and our findings would support the notion that the HPSE program should move toward a more standardized approach to prevent obesity, define more sophisticated metrics for success, and require consistent participation across all schools in a process that works in concert with the Coordinated School Health program supported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
1991年，杰斐逊县医学协会（现大路易斯维尔医学协会）制定了一项计划，旨在解决美国学校面临的诸多健康问题。该计划名为“卓越健康促进学校”（HPSE），在过去15年里一直致力于影响杰斐逊县学龄儿童的健康和身体素质，参与学校也从15所增加到了62所。本研究对从HPSE计划收集的数据进行了分析，结果表明该计划可能对参与学生的儿童肥胖率产生积极影响。肯塔基州儿童的肥胖流行情况持续加剧，我们的研究结果支持这样一种观点，即HPSE计划应朝着更标准化的方法发展，以预防肥胖，定义更复杂的成功指标，并要求所有学校在与疾病控制和预防中心支持的学校协调健康计划协同运作的过程中持续参与。
