What this Trial Is About
Researchers are evaluating a trauma-adapted Comprehensive School Physical Activity Program (CSPAP-T) to increase physical activity opportunities in middle schools. This trial focuses on addressing barriers faced by students who have experienced trauma, such as unique needs in physical activity settings and lack of staff training. The study uses a hybrid implementation-effectiveness design over 3 years to assess how trauma-sensitive approaches affect student activity and well-being. The intervention includes providing dedicated staffing support through Americorps members, offering professional development for teachers and staff on trauma-sensitive physical activity, and conducting setting-specific needs assessments and action planning. Schools will transition from control to intervention phases in three randomized waves, with each school participating in a 2-year intervention followed by a year of maintenance assessment. Participants will be assessed up to twice yearly across fall and spring for physical activity using accelerometers, as well as internalizing and externalizing symptoms and resilient psychosocial functioning. Data collection will occur during control, intervention, and maintenance phases, totaling 1800 student assessments across eight schools. The study also explores systems-level factors impacting implementation and sustainability of the program.
