The purpose of this study was to assess the effectiveness of a master C.A.T.C.H. trainer implementing the C.A.T.C.H classroom curriculum. Six different schools who were previously trained for C.A.T.C.H. implementation were used to compare the effectiveness between C.A.T.C.H. trained teachers and a C.A.T.C.H. master trainer. Results from this study show that having a master trainer has positive results on student health behaviors and teacher implementation comprehension which enhances the overall effectiveness of C.A.T.C.H.
