Research
PHS Research Component
Project Healthy Schools (PHS) is grounded in an evidence-based framework that combines hands-on education with meaningful changes to the school environment, helping middle school students build healthy habits that can last well beyond the classroom. Through behavioral questionnaires and optional health screenings, researchers evaluate the program’s impact on physical activity, food choices, screen time, cardiovascular risk factors, and obesity, including measures such as cholesterol, blood pressure, and resting heart rate. Findings in this research show encouraging improvements in students’ self-reported health behaviors and physiological measures, suggesting that PHS can help reduce their long-term risk of chronic disease.
Students are also given the opportunity to complete a health behavior survey before and after their participation in the core curriculum to measure the program’s success and to continually refine program interventions. This assessment helps researchers learn about student’s eating and activity habits and feelings about issues such as social-emotional learning and sleep. All data collected is entered into a secure database and remains completely de-identified and confidential. In addition to these surveys, schools may also participate in optional pre- and post-program health screenings to collect concrete physiological data.
These results from the ongoing measurement demonstrate the program’s profound impact. Research published in peer-reviewed journals such as the American Journal of Public Health indicates that PHS students experienced significant reductions in cardiovascular risk factors, including lower LDL cholesterol, triglycerides, and resting heart rate. Follow-up studies have further confirmed that these physiological and behavioral benefits are sustained over a four-year period. This data-driven strategy not only confirms the effectiveness of PHS across different racial and low-income communities, but also offers a validated, evidence-based model to improve the health of youth nationwide.
Measuring Our Success
Data collected through Project Healthy Schools has shown improvements in both physiological parameters and health behaviors up to four years after the program.
Results to Date
Over 187,500 students in nearly 175 schools in Michigan have participated in the program. Of these students, over 23,000 have been part of our research, including 3,000 students who participated in optional health screenings. Research results demonstrate that this program has improved the health of the students it has reached.
- 71% of students indicate, by standardized questionnaire, that they are changing their behaviors in a favorable way.
- Behavioral highlights from post-program survey results from the 2017-2018 school year show that students increased fruit and vegetable consumption; decreased sugary food and beverage consumption; decreased TV and video game screen time; and increased physical activity.
- Physiologic screenings show improvements in measures such as serum cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, triglyceride levels, blood sugar, and measures of fitness.
- Low/middle income communities’ children are at higher risk based on obesity rates and physiologic measures, but appear to benefit even more from the program.
- Among all schools, children at highest risk, based on risk factors such as blood pressure and cholesterol, seem to get the most benefit.
- Benefits appear to be sustained, not just after the five-month intervention, but also at the end of years one, two and three post-PHS.
Michigan Clinical Outcomes Research and Reporting Program (MCORRP)
The goal of Michigan Clinical Outcomes Research and Reporting Program (MCORRP) is to improve the quality of cardiovascular care at Michian Medicine, in the state of Michigan, and throughout the United States and world. This will be accomplished by studying common cardiovascular conditions and procedures among large populations; developing modern mathematical tools to assess risk and outcomes; promoting evidence-based care models which incorporate best science into care itself by targeting physicians, nurses, and patients.
MCORRP will extend its reach by presenting and publishing scientific results at regional, national and international meetings and in peer-reviewed publications as well as by partnering with regional and national organizations for win-win solutions to overcoming barriers to providing quality cardiovascular care. Finally, MCORRP is committed to creating a vibrant, rigorous, diverse, and collegial research environment which promotes the investigative development of students, house officers, fellows, and junior faculty.
MCORRP and Project Healthy Schools Partnership Overview
The longstanding collaboration between the University of Michigan’s Michigan Clinical Outcomes Research and Reporting Program (MCORRP) and Project Healthy Schools (PHS) has focused on promoting healthy behaviors among students and reducing long-term cardiovascular risk.
How PHS and MCORRP have worked together
Program implementation: Project Healthy Schools delivers school-based health education, wellness activities, and interventions informed by a social-ecological approach. Launched as a pilot in Clague Middle School in Ann Arbor in 2004, the program has expanded to 175 schools across Michigan. Its curriculum encourages physical activity, healthy eating, and other behaviors associated with cardiovascular health.
Research and evaluation: MCORRP has supported the analysis of health and behavioral measures collected through the program. Longitudinal analysis helps assess changes in students’ cardiometabolic indicators and health-related behaviors.
Evidence-based improvement: Research and program evaluation provide feedback that can be used to assess and refine the PHS curriculum. Findings about program outcomes may also support decisions about sustainability, fundraising, and expansion.
Overall, MCORRP has contributed outcomes-research and evaluation expertise to complement the school-based health education delivered by Project Healthy Schools.
