Aim High: Readiness & Meeting the Standards in Military Pre-Recruits

This study, called "Aim High," is looking at how to best prepare young people for military service. It's testing an intervention called Cadet Health, which is a training program designed to improve physical and mental well-being. The study wants to understand the needs of participants in the Louisiana National Guard (LANG) Youth Challenge Program (YCP) related to nutrition, fitness, sleep, and mental health. Success in this study will be measured by changes in participants' height, weight, and body fat after 16 months. The study is currently unclear on its recruitment status and aims to enroll 100 participants. To join, you must be staff, cadre, or a cadet in the YCP program.
