Getting Started with SWITCH
The SWITCH program provides schools with an
evidence-based, obesity prevention program designed to help elementary grade
students adopt healthy lifestyles.The program is managed through participatory research
agreements with schools. Once registered, schools are able to set up and manage
their own SWITCH programs.
Once enrolled, schools will receive support and assistance in setting up the SWITCH program in their school. A site coordinator at the school would be able to electronically manage all steps involved in program implementation (e.g. promotion / communication / tracking) and the system also includes separate administrative levels to facilitate district or regional coordination.
