School-based physical activity interventions have proved effective in enhancing adolescent health and behavioral outcomes (Kahn et al., 2002). This presentation will introduce Greenbrier CHOICES (Children’s Health Opportunities Involving Coordinated Efforts in Schools), an integrated approach to adolescent physical activity and health promotion that incorporates collaborative strategies within school, community, and health care settings. This intervention involves the application of two nationally recognized approaches: Comprehensive School Physical Activity Program and Chronic Care Medical Home Model.
