A new system classifies state policies on school nutrition environments to combat childhood overweight. Many states had limited policies in key areas as of 2003, highlighting the need for evaluation.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health Policy
  • Childhood Nutrition
  • School Environment Interventions

Background:

  • Childhood overweight is a growing public health concern requiring policy interventions.
  • State policies significantly influence the school nutrition environment.
  • Systematic classification of these policies is needed for effective evaluation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a system for classifying state policies related to the school nutrition environment.
  • To assess the inter-rater reliability of the classification system.
  • To describe the variability in state policies as of December 2003.

Main Methods:

  • Developed the School Nutrition Environment State Policy Classification System (SNESPCS).
  • Conducted a comprehensive literature review and consulted expert panels.

  • Retrieved and analyzed state statutes and regulations from Westlaw.

    • Main Results:

    • The SNESPCS covers 11 policy areas.
    • Many states lacked policies in advertising, promotion, and preferential pricing.
    • As of 2003, 60% of states had policies on competitive food sales impacting school meal programs.

    Conclusions:

    • Policy evaluation in school nutrition is nascent.
    • SNESPCS offers a tool to assess state policy variation.
    • This system can inform evaluations of policy impacts on school environments and children's diets.
