The NIH ‘We Can’ Curriculum & Other Healthy Lifestyle Evidence Based Resources

Share On Social!

Together communities & parents can make a real difference in the health of their children. That’s why in 2005, the National Institutes of Health launched the We Can (Ways to Enhance Children’s Activity & Nutrition) curriculum, to enhance children’s activity and nutrition.

The curriculum includes a toolkit for community action as well as a parent guide to guide families in eating right and staying active.

Other evidence based resources available on the website include:

• Media-Smart Youth: Eat, Think, and Be Active!® – A Curriculum for Youth
• EatPlayGrow™ – A Curriculum for Families with Young Children, and Caregivers of Children
• I Can Do It, You Can Do It! – A curriculum for youth and adults with disabilities
• CATCH® Kids Club – A Curriculum for Youth
• S.M.A.R.T. (Student Media Awareness to Reduce Television) – A Curriculum for Youth
• SPARK™

Many of these resources are also available in Spanish! You can also access materials for ethnically diverse populations here.
