The Pawtucket Heart Health program works closely with the 23 parochial and public schools in Pawtucket, R.I., to educate students and teachers about heart health promotion. As part of that partnership, the PHHP developed a program to teach junior high school home economics students about nutrition, food purchasing techniques, and heart healthy cooking methods. In this Heart Healthy Cook-off program, the PHHP distributes recipe guidelines to home economics teachers who instruct students in recipe modification, food preparation, and presentation. Students choose recipes and make heart healthy substitutions to lower fat and sodium content. Recipes are analyzed for nutrient content by the PHHP and returned to the students with suggestions for lowering fat and sodium if necessary. Final recipes are judged for heart healthiness by a nutritionist and for taste by a panel of judges. Prizes are awarded to students with winning recipes. Before and after the Cook-offs, classes host a blood cholesterol SCORE (screening, counseling, and referral event) where students learn about their blood cholesterol level and its relationship to dietary intake. In 1988-1989, 105 junior high school students participated in the Cook-off/SCORE program. Forty percent had elevated blood cholesterol levels of 170 mg/dl or above. A statistically significant decrease in blood cholesterol levels was observed during a 12-week time period. The Cook-off is a fun, effective program for teaching secondary school students about heart healthy eating habits.
