MATCH, Motivating Adolescents with Technology to CHOOSEHealth™, is a middle school-based, childhood obesity intervention that uses an interdisciplinary approach to student wellness. Since 2007, MATCH has reached over 28,000 7th graders and in the 2018-19 school year it is in place for 55 schools. The program combines a nutrition, physical activity, and technology curriculum with the web-based resource system to meet educational and wellness objectives simultaneously. MATCH teaches students how health choices they make will impact their future.
I replace the ECU(used from junk yard). Yes sir I did write the VIN it did not help me thanks. ECU on my 2005 Corolla but now the check engine light came on and when I scanned it the code's description is that the VIN does not match the ECU and that it needs to be programmed.
The program is aligned with national Common Core educational standards, Center for Disease Control’s (CDC) school model, the Coordinated School Health Program (CSHP) and follows recommendations for achieving a healthy weight as outlined in the American Medical Association (AMA) Expert Committee on the Assessment, Prevention, and Treatment of Child and Adolescent Overweight and Obesity.
To implement MATCH, teachers are trained to deliver lessons within their subject area, one teacher acts as a coordinator to help plan lessons across disciplines, all materials are made available via a secure website, and students have all lessons in a student-friendly workbook. The MATCH curriculum follows an intentional progression of lessons, goals, and activities.
Program methods and results are so strong that after in-depth, objective review by the Center for Training, Research and Translation (www.centertrt.org), it was given the highest available “evidence-tested” designation. Results have been described in peer-reviewed articles in the journals such as Childhood Obesity and the Journal of School Health.
Dr. Suzanne Lazorick, a PHWRTC pediatrician and obesity researcher, oversees and evaluates the program. Current funding for the program is provided by the North Carolina Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Education (SNAP-Ed), Blue Cross and Blue Shield Foundation of North Carolina, and the State Employees Credit Union Foundation.
