About this study
This study evaluates the feasibility and the potential positive health impacts of a novel "health education theater," which will task participants of a health education program to create an original 10-minute theater that is required to use the health guidelines about physical activity and diet/nutrition. The outcomes include the changes in (a) knowledge about these guidelines, (b) compliance to these guidelines, (c) health related quality of life, and (d) self-perception well-being measures such as self-esteem and self-efficacy.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Change in knowledge about the health guidelines regarding physical activity
Knowledge about the guidelines regarding physical activity assessed via survey questionnaire. This outcome is dichotomous, either 0 or 1, representing a survey respondent's knowledge about the guideline is incorrect or correct, respectively. This guideline is set by the UC Davis Health Education and Promotion (HEP) (https://shcs.ucdavis.edu/wellness/physical-activity).
Measured: baseline, immediately post-intervention, 6 months post-intervention, 12-months post-intervention
Change in knowledge about the health guidelines regarding diet/nutrition
Knowledge about the guidelines regarding diet/nutrition assessed via survey questionnaire. This outcome is dichotomous, either 0 or 1, representing a survey respondent's knowledge about the guideline is incorrect or correct, respectively. This guideline is set by the UC Davis Health Education and Promotion (HEP) (https://shcs.ucdavis.edu/fruits-andveggies).
Measured: baseline, immediately post-intervention, 6 months post-intervention, 12-months post-intervention
Change in compliance about the health guidelines regarding physical activity
Compliance about the guidelines regarding physical activity assessed via survey questionnaire. This outcome is dichotomous, either 0 or 1, representing a survey respondent is non-compliant or compliant to the guideline, respectively. This guideline is set by the UC Davis Health Education and Promotion (HEP) (https://shcs.ucdavis.edu/wellness/physical-activity).
Measured: baseline, immediately post-intervention, 6 months post-intervention, 12-months post-intervention
Change in compliance about the health guidelines regarding diet/nutrition
Compliance about the guidelines regarding diet/nutrition assessed via survey questionnaire. This outcome is dichotomous, either 0 or 1, representing a survey respondent is non-compliant or compliant to the guideline, respectively. This guideline is set by the UC Davis Health Education and Promotion (HEP) (https://shcs.ucdavis.edu/fruits-andveggies).
Measured: baseline, immediately post-intervention, 6 months post-intervention, 12-months post-intervention
Change in health related quality of life
Health related quality of life will be measured with the unit of utility (ranging from 0 to 100), which will be derived with the established method of visual analogue scale following EuroQol Group (Health Policy. 1990;16(3):199-208).
Measured: baseline, immediately post-intervention, 6 months postintervention, 12-months post-intervention
Change in self-esteem
Self-esteem will be measured by the established method of "the Rosenberg's self-esteem scale," ranging from 10 to 40 (Rosenberg M. Society and the Adolescent Self-Image. Princeton, NJ, Princeton University Press, 1965).
Measured: baseline, immediately post-intervention, 6 months postintervention, 12-months post-intervention
Change in self-efficacy
Self-efficacy will be measured by the established method of "the Generalized self-efficacy scale," ranging from 10 to 40 (Schwarzer, R., \& Jerusalem, M. (1995). Generalized Self-Efficacy scale. In J. Weinman, S. Wright, \&M. Johnston, Measures in health psychology: A user's portfolio. Causal and control beliefs (pp. 35-37). Windsor, England: NFER-NELSON.).
Measured: baseline, immediately post-intervention, 6 months postintervention, 12-months post-intervention

Return on investment (ROI) of the intervention based on a simulation analysis
Measured: 60 years after the end of the intervention based on a simulation analysis
