The Child and Adolescent Trial for Cardiovascular Health (CATCH) is a multisite intervention research study that builds on significant progress made in school health education research in the 1980s. The study has three phases: Phase I deals with study design, intervention, and measurement development, Phase II involves the main trial in 96 schools in four states, and Phase III focuses on analysis. The intervention program targets third-fifth grade students and focuses on multiple cardiovascular health behaviors, including eating habits, physical activity, and cigarette smoking. Classroom curricula, school environmental change, and family involvement programs are developed for each grade level and behavioral focus. This paper describes Phase II of CATCH with a rationale for cardiovascular health promotion with youth. The process of change that appears to be necessary for school-based health promotion and that will be tested in CATCH are presented as a framework to guide these efforts.
儿童和青少年心血管健康试验（CATCH）是一项多地点干预研究，它基于20世纪80年代学校健康教育研究取得的重大进展。该研究分为三个阶段：第一阶段涉及研究设计、干预措施和测量方法的制定；第二阶段在四个州的96所学校进行主要试验；第三阶段集中于数据分析。干预计划针对三至五年级的学生，侧重于多种心血管健康行为，包括饮食习惯、体育活动和吸烟行为。针对每个年级水平和行为重点，制定了课堂课程、学校环境改善措施和家庭参与计划。本文描述了CATCH的第二阶段，并阐述了促进青少年心血管健康的基本原理。作为指导这些工作的框架，介绍了学校健康促进似乎必要且将在CATCH中进行测试的变革过程。
