ICAN Study: Activity and Nutrition for Childhood Achievement

This study, called the INTEGRATED CHILDHOOD ACTIVITY AND NUTRITION (ICAN) STUDY, is testing an 8-week program to help children maintain academic achievement, cognitive function, and behavioral health during the summer. The program involves daily physical activity through organized games and a daily snack containing lutein (6mg/d), a nutrient found in leafy green vegetables. The study is looking for children aged 6 to 11 years old who are considered economically or educationally disadvantaged. Success will be measured by improvements in academic achievement, assessed at the beginning and end of the 8-week program. The current recruitment status is unclear.
