Participants had a significant reduction in diastolic blood pressure \(\left(p < 0.03\right)\) with a moderate effect size (Cohen d = 0.68), reduction of daily sugar-sweetened beverage intake \(\left(p < 0.02\right)\) with a large effect size (Cohen d = 0.96), and an improvement in weekly moderate intensity exercise \((p < 0.03)\) with a large effect size (Cohen d = .83). Participants met the fruit and vegetable intake recommendations and applying program principles to reduce chronic disease risk factors. |
