Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past 15 years, provinces across Canada have developed school nutrition policies to inform nutrition decisions. In addition, Breakfast for Learning (BFL), a national organization, has developed Keys to Success standards to guide school breakfast programs. Although the number of school breakfast programs in Canada has increased in recent years, there has been little evaluation of the effects of the policies or standards on programs. Evaluation is important as it informs program decision-making and establishes accountability for policy makers, organizations, and other stakeholders. In 2010, the School Nutrition and Activity Project (SNAP) in Prince Edward Island (PEI) conducted the first provincial evaluation of PEI school breakfast programs based on district policies. Data were collected through questionnaires and on-site observations. Results indicate that some policy standards are being met, but overall, most programs need improvement. Only 2 schools scored 75% or higher on their adherence to the Keys to Success. Elementary, consolidated, and middle schools scored significantly higher than high schools. It is recommended that future policy-makers strengthen PEI nutrition policies by implementing required standards for breakfast programs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1998, Congress authorized the School Breakfast Program Pilot Project (SBPP) to study the implementation and effects of providing universal free school breakfast in six school districts across the United States. For three years, from School Year (SY) 2000-2001 through SY 2002-2003, these six school districts received federal funds to offer school breakfasts free of charge, regardless of family income, to students in a number of elementary schools that were matched on a number of characteristics, then randomly assigned to either treatment or control status. The control schools continued to offer the regular School Breakfast Program (SBP), which provides free or reduced-price breakfasts to eligible students from low-income families. Over the course of the three years of the pilot project, data were collected from all participating schools for an evaluation of the implementation and impact of providing universal-free school breakfast. The current report serves as the final report of findings from the SBPP. It provides impact estimates for a smaller set of outcomes, based on data collected over the remaining two years of the pilot, and integrates the findings from all three years of the SBPP. This report also presents findings from an additional set of analyses undertaken to address a set of questions that have been raised by policy makers and other stakeholders since the release of the first year report. These include analyses focused on students who do not eat breakfast ("breakfast skippers") and those who eat a nutritionally robust or "substantive breakfast"; variations in the breakfast setting (i.e., school versus home, classroom versus other school location); characteristics of students in food insecure households; and differences in student outcomes by household income level. The remaining sections of this chapter provide background information about the SBP; a brief summary of research on the relationship between breakfast and student outcomes; an overview of the SBPP, including a review of the conceptual model for understanding the pilot project; a summary of the findings in the interim report on Year 1 findings, and a description of the purpose and contents of this final report.

This book was released on 2013 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The majority of Canadian provinces have adopted school nutrition policies (SNP) in an effort to improve children"s eating habits and reduce childhood overweight and obesity. While a number of provinces have implemented SNPs, there has been little in terms of evaluation across the country. All elementary schools in Prince Edward Island (PEI) adopted a SNP in 2005-2006. The purpose of this study was to describe the changes in SNP adherence over time, as well as assess the impact that SNP adherence has on children"s overweight and obesity rates. A self-administered survey was distributed to all elementary school principals in 2007 and 2010. The Principal School Food Survey (Appendix A) consisted of both a subjective and more objective component to assess the level of implementation of all SNP elements. The perceived adherence score was calculated using the responses from 15 subjective questions. Food list adherence, the more objective measure of adherence, was assessed by comparing the reported food and beverage items sold at lunch, in vending machines and canteens to policy guidelines. The relationship between overweight and obesity rates and both measures of adherence was assessed for 2010 only. It was predicted that schools with a higher level of adherence would have lower rates of overweight and obesity. Non-parametric tests (Wilcoxon rank sum, chi-square and Spearman"s rho) were used to assess changes in perceived adherence, food list adherence and the agreement between food list and perceived adherence respectively. Logistic regression was used to assess the impact that the level of policy adherence had on overweight and obesity rates. Results indicated that perceived adherence was higher in 2010 than 2007 (Mann-Whitney U= 519.5, p =0.007). Food list adherence for lunch program items and canteen items decreased significantly from 2007 to 2010 (x2= 12.576, df=3, p=0.006) while vending machines item adherence increased slightly during the same time period (x2=13.689, df=1, p=0.008). There was no significant agreement between overall perceived adherence scores and food list adherence; however, a few policy elements (pricing foods to encourage healthy consumption, promote healthy advertising, serve foods from "most often" or "sometimes" list) did reveal a positive relationship with 2007 food list adherence. There was some support for the hypothesis for the overweight model, in that closer policy adherence (% allowed foods) was associated with lower overweight rates in elementary school children. The study also found that schools with higher perceived adherence scores had increased rates of overweight among grade 5 and 6 children. The level of adherence was not, however, a significant predictor of obesity rates. These findings are consistent with previous research demonstrating the impact of SNP adherence on overweight rates but not obesity. This study also found that physical activity, breakfast consumption, low-nutrient density food (LNDF) consumption, student sex and parental education were significant predictors of both overweight and obesity; in addition to these factors, parental income and television frequency were also predictors of obesity. The relationships between the co-variates and overweight and obesity were in the 3 expected direction. While the adoption of a SNP can be a positive first step to change the school food environment, promote healthy eating habits and reduce overweight among children, more comprehensive evaluation methods (ie. objectively assessing adherence to all policy elements as opposed to just available food and beverage items) are needed to identify potential barriers to implementation and accurately assess the impact of such policy interventions.
