In the experimental 2 x 2 design each school represented one cell. Treatments were: School I had KYB instruction only, School II had KYB instruction and screening, and School IV served as a control. All schools were pre- and posttested using the Seffrin Health Knowledge Test and the KYB Heath Attitude and Behavior Surveys. Clinical data collected included: height, weight, skinfold thickness, blood pressure, and resting and exercise pulses. Multivariate and univariate analysis of variance tests were employed.","Results showed that the main effects of instruction and screening had significant effects on the knowledge variable. For each main effect, Schools I and III scored significantly higher than School II. Significant differences were also associated with the interactive effects of screening by instruction. School I scored significantly higher than School II on the behavior variable. The attitude survey showed no significant differences amongst schools for each treatment effect. The clinical screening procedures must be further examined before conclusions so their value can be determined.","Made available in DSpace on 2014-12-16T05:48:06Z (GMT).
