Does CATCH Work?
• Reduced total fat and saturated fat content of
school lunches
• Increased moderate-to-vigorous physical
activity (MVPA) during PE classes
• Improved students’ self-reported eating and
physical activity behaviors
• Effects persisted over three years without
continued intervention

• Some people in a group perform better than others (have
reduced their health threat)
• People can learn by the observation of others (peer
modeling)
• Stories of the role models fit with the target audience (they
are understandable, realistic, & contain useful information)
