Increasing Compliance With Physical Education Laws to Reduce Health Inequities
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating PE Audit and Feedback Tool for Physical Inactivity and Cardiovascular Diseases. Completed, enrolled 35 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
School physical education (PE) is one of the most valuable tools for increasing physical activity and fitness among youth of all backgrounds; however, compliance with existing PE laws is low (and differential by school race/ethnic and family-income composition, contributing to health disparities), and best practices for increasing compliance remain unknown. This study proposes to examine a novel approach for increasing PE law compliance by testing a PE audit and feedback tool (adapted from a tool used by the New York City Department of Education) in Oakland, California schools to determine the effectiveness, adaptability, and scalability of this potential cost-effective approach for increasing PE law compliance and student physical activity.

Interventions
The intervention consists of a Physical Education (PE) Audit and Feedback tool, which was adapted from work done through the PE Works program in the New York City Department of Education. A district-level PE program leader in Oakland Unified School District will deliver the tool, which consists of auditing the current status of PE in intervention schools, providing feedback on the status to help improve PE, and providing technical assistance to bring schools up to code and ensure support for PE programming.
