Summary

The overarching goal of the study is to examine the effects of a new Health and Wellness Curriculum (Pure Power) being implemented in the Ravenswood City School District in East Palo Alto. The Pure Power Curriculum, which the Sonima Foundation (Now Pure Edge Inc.,)developed, includes exercise based on yoga, common exercise regimes, relaxation techniques, mindfulness practices, and nutrition education, and was introduced in 2014 to the Ravenswood City Schools, independent of the research. The new curriculum was expected to yield dramatic positive effects on students' socio-emotional development, which the investigators aimed to examine through this study.

This research evaluation measures the impact of the Pure Power Curriculum on the socioemotional, behavioral, cognitive, academic, and physiological functioning of students in a low-socioeconomic status (SES) school community over time by evaluating student development at three time points: baseline (i.e., prior to implementation of the curriculum), one-year follow-up, and two-year follow-up. Only third and fifth-grade students were eligible for enrollment at baseline. All data collection procedures were replicated with the control group.
