Rap Cool Health™ is an innovative program that empowers children and teens to take charge of their health through Obesity and Diabetes prevention. Using the power of Hip Hop music, the program targets African American children in fourth through sixth grade. The modules are designed to maximize retention, impact behavior, and reach both students and their families. This program incorporates the best practices of existing health prevention programs, proven behavior change strategies, and outcomes assessments. Clear, concise messages are integrated into a program where children sing, dance, role-play and interact with presenters.

Rap Cool Health™ is based on a research-proven program that teaches children healthy living messages.
