Senior Change Makers is an adaptation of the YEAH! advocacy curriculum developed initially by the San Diego Childhood Obesity Initiative. Dr. Christy Patch evaluated the program as her PhD dissertation. The survey measures here were adopted from the surveys developed and evaluated by Dr. Rachel Millstein.
