In Brief
A clinical study evaluating C-SLAMM Study for Physical Inactivity and 4 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 162 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary

This pilot intervention will be an 8-week two-armed cluster RCT. Individuals (children aged 7-9 years) will be the unit of analysis and schools (cluster) randomly assigned to one of two arms: (1) Physical activity and sedentary behavior (intervention arm), or (2) current practice (control arm).
