To determine whether providing a school-based teacher wellness program improves teacher health outcomes and enhances the effectiveness of an elementary student nutrition curriculum.
Randomly assigned 32 elementary schools to either a student nutrition curriculum alone (Gimme-5) or Gimme-5 paired with a teacher wellness program (TeachWell) consisting of 54 workshops over 2 years plus schoolwide health activities.
Evaluated physiological, behavioral, and cognitive outcomes across teachers and students, as well as curriculum implementation fidelity, using mixed-model analyses.
The intervention produced no statistically detectable improvements in any evaluated physiological, behavioral, or cognitive endpoints among participating teachers or students.
Intervention teachers did not deliver the Gimme-5 health curriculum with greater fidelity than comparison teachers.
