Multi-pronged intervention to increase secondary student participation in school lunch: Design and rationale
2019, Contemporary Clinical TrialsCitation Excerpt :There is a paucity of literature, however, on how the addition of convenient school food points of sale, such as vending machines and mobile carts, can be leveraged to improve school meal participation. Finally, while adults exhibit social influence over youth dietary behavior [21,22], teachers and school staff may have poorer diets than the general population [50] and negative perceptions of school meals [51]. To our knowledge, no studies have assessed whether changing teacher perceptions of and participation in school meals can increase student participation and consumption.

2014, Preventive MedicineCitation Excerpt :Recent research examining socioecological influences on child and adolescent dietary intake demonstrated the dual importance of home and school settings (Harrison and Jones, 2012; Sallis and Glanz, 2006; Story et al., 2008; Verloigne et al., 2012). Not surprisingly, studies have consistently demonstrated a positive association between household income and children's fruit and vegetable consumption (Bere et al., 2008; Cutler et al., 2011; Ding et al., 2012; Riediger et al., 2007), due primarily to greater availability of fruits and vegetables in higher income homes (Bere et al., 2008; Berge et al., 2012; Ding et al., 2012; Molaison et al., 2005; Neumark-Sztainer et al., 2003; Rasmussen et al., 2006). In contrast, studies assessing the impact of school food environments on FVI have produced mixed results, showing both positive (Cohen et al., 2012; Cullen et al., 2009; Davis et al., 2009; Slusser et al., 2007) and negative (Briefel et al., 2009; Kubik et al., 2003) associations with FVI, depending on the characteristics of the school food environment.

2012, AppetiteCitation Excerpt :These preferences were also communicated to the parent, further affecting food preparation and purchasing. The importance of taste, liking, or preference for certain foods surfaced in at least five other qualitative studies of older children; however, these studies did not identify the emotional dimension that underpins preferences as being an important component in understanding food choices (Baranowski et al., 1993; Fitzgerald et al., 2010; McKinley et al., 2005; Molaison et al., 2005; Neumark-Sztainer et al., 1999; Wind et al., 2005). Children described the primary role their parents play as a gatekeeper to food in their homes.
