El Paso Coordinated Approach to Child Health (El Paso CATCH) was evaluated in 24 schools for outcome measures of moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) during physical education (PE), content of PE lessons, content of school meals, and numerous process measures. Chi-square analyses compared frequency data across time for activity during PE and percentage fat in school meals. Descriptive summarieswere used for process questionnaire results. Data were also compared to CATCH program goals. For most intervention schools, El Paso CATCH significantly increased MVPA, decreased fat in school meals, and decreased sodium in school breakfasts. However, some schools were not meeting the fat content goals for school lunches, and no schools met the vigorous physical activity (VPA) goals for PE or the sodium goals for school lunches.
