项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Today, due to the serious personal, social and economic burden caused by overweight and obesity, experts agree that policy interventions using the best available evidence is a necessary course of action. As a result, numerous national, state and local efforts have targeted school settings for obesity prevention policies. One fundamental knowledge gap to be addressed is whether these policy efforts directed at schools are effective. Another is identifying the extent to which states with strong policies also have districts and schools with strong policies. A team of investigators representing expertise in school nutrition and activity interventions, alcohol and obesity policy research and innovative methodologies propose aims that build upon recently published work linking state-level school obesity prevention policy environments and youth obesity prevalence which has received national attention. An advisory panel consisting of national and local advocacy and policy development experts will assist in the practical interpretation and dissemination of results. A serial cross-sectional study (1998-2010) that uniquely combines two survey data sets the Minnesota School Health Profiles and Minnesota Student Survey representing up to 300 schools and up to 136,00 12-18 year old students will be used to evaluate the impact of school nutrition- and activity-related policies upon students attending those schools. Additionally, using the national data set the School Health Programs and Policies Study a serial cross-sectional study (2000-2010) evaluating the translation of strong state policies (n=50) and their school districts (n=530) and schools (n=1,100) to identify the extent to which they align, will also be conducted. Tackling the childhood obesity epidemic demands innovative approaches, including environmental and policy changes in school settings. State and local entities have already engaged initiatives based upon varying levels of evidence. In the field of school policy evaluation, the emphasis has been on comprehensive wellness policy assessments, including the strength of those policies and implementation. To our knowledge, no one else has attempted to establish a link between school policy environments and student outcomes. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: One goal of this study is to assess whether food and nutrition and physical activity and education policies of schools are related to student diet and activity behaviors and weight status. Another goal is to see whether states with strong policies also have districts and schools with strong policies. Both goals use information already collected over the past 10 years (2000-2010).

描述（由申请人提供）：如今，由于超重和肥胖造成严重的个人、社会和经济负担，专家们一致认为，利用现有最佳证据进行政策干预是必要的行动方针。因此，许多国家、州和地方都针对学校环境制定了肥胖预防政策。需要解决的一个基本知识差距是这些针对学校的政策努力是否有效。另一个问题是确定政策强有力的州在多大程度上也拥有政策强有力的学区和学校。代表学校营养和活动干预、酒精和肥胖政策研究和创新方法方面专业知识的研究小组提出了目标，这些目标建立在最近发表的将州级学校肥胖预防政策环境与青年肥胖流行率联系起来的工作的基础上，该工作受到了全国的关注。由国家和地方倡导和政策制定专家组成的咨询小组将协助实际解释和传播结果。一项系列横断面研究（1998-2010）独特地结合了代表多达 300 所学校和多达 136,00 名 12-18 岁学生的明尼苏达州学校健康概况和明尼苏达州学生调查这两个调查数据集，将用于评估学校营养和活动相关政策对就读这些学校的学生的影响。此外，学校健康计划和政策研究使用国家数据集进行了一系列横断面研究（2000-2010），评估了强有力的国家政策（n = 50）及其学区（n = 530）和学校（n =1,100）以确定它们对齐的程度，也将进行。应对儿童肥胖流行病需要创新方法，包括改变学校环境和政策。州和地方实体已经根据不同程度的证据采取了举措。在学校政策评估领域，重点是全面的健康政策评估，包括这些政策的力度和实施情况。据我们所知，没有人试图在学校政策环境和学生成绩之间建立联系。公共卫生相关性：本研究的目标之一是评估学校的食品和营养以及体育活动和教育政策是否与学生饮食和活动行为以及体重状况相关。另一个目标是看看政策强有力的州是否也有政策强有力的地区和学校。这两个目标都使用过去 10 年（2000-2010 年）收集的信息。
