The Impact of Covid-19 Related School Closures on Children's Weight Status

Covid-19 相关学校停课对儿童体重状况的影响

基本信息

项目摘要

Project Summary The proposed project has two aims: 1) to assess the short and long-term impact of school closures mandated by the COVID-19 pandemic on students’ weight status, and 2) to examine the mitigating potential of child-targeted food assistance programs implemented during the closures. While there is some evidence that interruptions in school during summer recess result in weight gain among children in elementary grades, we have little basis for predicting the effects of a hiatus of unprecedented length, 6 months or more posed by the coronavirus. Pursuant to the Families First Coronavirus Response Act, the USDA extended the summer feeding program to deliver meals to children during the pandemic-related school closures; the USDA also authorized emergency food assistance through Pandemic Electronic Benefit Transfer cards for out-of-school children who qualify for school meals programs. While summer meals have been provided in the past to some students through summer meals programs, research establishing the adequacy of these programs in addressing weight status is lacking. To address the study aims, we will collect and analyze nurse-measured heights and weights data on children attending 120 public schools serving low-income children in New Jersey. Interrupted times series analyses will be applied to data collected prior to school closures, during four school years (SY) between 2013-14 and 2019-20 (approximately 30,000 students per year); and an additional two school years post-closure, one coinciding with the re-opening of schools (SY2020-21) and the other two years later (SY2022-23). For the same school years, we will incorporate, as covariates, annual data on school food and physical activity (PA) environments that have been found to be associated with weight status, as well as measures of the surrounding food and PA environment known to affect obesity rates. New data on operation and reach of the two federal, child-targeted food assistance programs in school catchment areas over the course of school closures will be collected to establish the mitigating potential of these programs. The proposed study will make a unique contribution to our understanding of the long-term effects of a key dimension of federal obesity policy affecting some thirty million predominantly low-income children – provision of free and reduced priced school meals. As such, the findings will be critical to our readiness to respond to future disasters and to our efforts to assure the adequacy of the food safety net.
项目摘要 拟议的项目有两个目的:1)评估学校关闭的短期和长期影响 COVID-19的大流行对学生的体重状况和2)进行了调查,以检查缓解潜力 关闭期间实施的儿童目标食品援助计划。虽然有证据表明 夏季休息期间学校的中断导致小学年级儿童体重增加,我们 几乎没有预测前所未有长度休息的影响,6个月或更长时间 新冠病毒。根据家庭第一冠状病毒反应法,美国农业部延长了夏天 在大流行有关的学校关闭期间,为儿童提供餐点;美国农业部也是如此 通过大流行电子福利转移卡授权紧急食品援助 有资格获得学校用餐计划的孩子。虽然过去已经提供了夏季餐 通过夏季餐饮计划的学生,研究了这些计划的适当性 缺乏解决体重状况。为了解决研究目的,我们将收集和分析护士测量 关于在新泽西州为低收入儿童提供服务的120所公立学校的儿童的高度和权重数据。 中断的时间系列分析将应用于在学校关闭之前收集的数据,在四个学校期间 2013 - 14年至2019 - 20年之间的年度(SY)(每年约30,000名学生);还有两个 闭合后的学年,一个与学校的重新开放(SY2020-21)相吻合,其他两年 后来(SY2022-23)。在同一学年,我们将作为协变量将学校食品的年度数据纳入 和已经发现与体重状况相关的体育活动(PA)环境以及 已知影响观察率的周围食物和PA环境的度量。新数据 以及在学校集水区的两个联邦遗嘱目标的食品援助计划的范围 将收集关闭学校的过程,以确定这些计划的减轻潜力。这 拟议的研究将为我们理解关键的长期影响做出独特的贡献 联邦肥胖政策的维度影响了约300万个低收入儿童 - 条款 免费和降低定价的学校用餐。因此,这些发现对于我们准备回应的愿望至关重要 未来的灾难,以及我们为确保食品安全网的充分性的努力。
