Evaluation of Health Education Theater

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
This study evaluates the feasibility and the potential positive health impacts of a novel health education theater, which will task participants of a health education program to create an original 10-minute theater that is required to use the health guidelines about physical activity and diet/nutrition. The outcomes include the changes in (a) knowledge about these guidelines, (b) compliance to these guidelines, (c) health related quality of life, and (d) self-perception well-being measures such as self-esteem and self-efficacy.

What is the study measuring?
-----------------
Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Change in knowledge about the health guidelines regarding physical activity | Knowledge about the guidelines regarding physical activity assessed via survey questionnaire. This outcome is dichotomous, either 0 or 1, representing a survey respondent's knowledge about the guideline is incorrect or correct, respectively. This guideline is set by the UC Davis Health Education and Promotion (HEP) (https://shcs.ucdavis.edu/wellness/physical-activity). | baseline, immediately post-intervention, 6 months post-intervention, 12-months post-intervention | 
| Change in knowledge about the health guidelines regarding diet/nutrition | Knowledge about the guidelines regarding diet/nutrition assessed via survey questionnaire. This outcome is dichotomous, either 0 or 1, representing a survey respondent's knowledge about the guideline is incorrect or correct, respectively. This guideline is set by the UC Davis Health Education and Promotion (HEP) (https://shcs.ucdavis.edu/fruits-andveggies). | baseline, immediately post-intervention, 6 months post-intervention, 12-months post-intervention | 
| Change in compliance about the health guidelines regarding physical activity | Compliance about the guidelines regarding physical activity assessed via survey questionnaire. This outcome is dichotomous, either 0 or 1, representing a survey respondent is non-compliant or compliant to the guideline, respectively. This guideline is set by the UC Davis Health Education and Promotion (HEP) (https://shcs.ucdavis.edu/wellness/physical-activity). | baseline, immediately post-intervention, 6 months post-intervention, 12-months post-intervention | 
| Change in compliance about the health guidelines regarding diet/nutrition | Compliance about the guidelines regarding diet/nutrition assessed via survey questionnaire. This outcome is dichotomous, either 0 or 1, representing a survey respondent is non-compliant or compliant to the guideline, respectively. This guideline is set by the UC Davis Health Education and Promotion (HEP) (https://shcs.ucdavis.edu/fruits-andveggies). | baseline, immediately post-intervention, 6 months post-intervention, 12-months post-intervention | 
| Change in health related quality of life | Health related quality of life will be measured with the unit of utility (ranging from 0 to 100), which will be derived with the established method of visual analogue scale following EuroQol Group (Health Policy. 1990;16(3):199-208). | baseline, immediately post-intervention, 6 months postintervention, 12-months post-intervention | 
| Change in self-esteem | Self-esteem will be measured by the established method of the Rosenberg's self-esteem scale, ranging from 10 to 40 (Rosenberg M. Society and the Adolescent Self-Image. Princeton, NJ, Princeton University Press, 1965). | baseline, immediately post-intervention, 6 months postintervention, 12-months post-intervention | 
| Change in self-efficacy | Self-efficacy will be measured by the established method of the Generalized self-efficacy scale, ranging from 10 to 40 (Schwarzer, R., & Jerusalem, M. (1995). Generalized Self-Efficacy scale. In J. Weinman, S. Wright, &M. Johnston, Measures in health psychology: A user's portfolio. Causal and control beliefs (pp. 35-37). Windsor, England: NFER-NELSON.). | baseline, immediately post-intervention, 6 months postintervention, 12-months post-intervention | 

Secondary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
