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.


Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* University of California (UC) Davis students who register for the course entitled " Health Education Theater," to be held during the 2019 Spring Quarter, i.e., from April 2019 to June 2019.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Adults unable to consent
* Individuals who are not yet adults (infants, children, teenagers)
* Prisoners
* Individuals who are not compliant to this project's guideline of health limitations. Under this project guideline, absences due to health limitations are not expected to exceed 3 days maximum in addition to standard class policy during the quarter. As long as a subject is compliant to this project guideline and the additional accommodations authorized by the UC Davis Student Disability Center (SDC), any student (including a pregnant woman student and a student with a disability) can participate in this study.
