This article describes a process for establishing school nutrition advisory councils (SNACs) as an integral part of a school environment approach to promoting the nutritional health of students. The application of social cognitive theory as the conceptual framework for SNACs is discussed and the steps for establishing councils, including describing the school food environment, recruiting council members and convening the council, are reviewed. Actions taken by SNACs to positively affect the school nutrition environment are also described. SNACs are 1 component of the Teens Eating for Energy and Nutrition at School (TEENS) study, a group randomized, school-based intervention trial conducted in 16 middle schools in the Minneapolis-St Paul, Minn, metropolitan area. TEENS seeks to promote healthful dietary behaviors among young adolescents to reduce future cancer risk. Primary outcome measures include increasing fruit and vegetable intake and decreasing fat consumption. SNACs were established in the intervention schools to assess the overall school food environment and to advance school-level policy that promotes a healthful food environment.
本文介绍了一种建立学校营养咨询委员会（SNACs）的流程，该委员会是学校促进学生营养健康环境方法的一个组成部分。文中讨论了将社会认知理论作为SNACs概念框架的应用，并回顾了建立委员会的步骤，包括描述学校食物环境、招募委员会成员和召开委员会会议。文中还描述了SNACs为积极影响学校营养环境所采取的行动。SNACs是“青少年在学校获取能量与营养饮食”（TEENS）研究的一个组成部分，该研究是一项在明尼苏达州明尼阿波利斯 - 圣保罗大都市地区的16所中学进行的群组随机、基于学校的干预试验。TEENS旨在促进青少年的健康饮食行为，以降低未来患癌症的风险。主要结果指标包括增加水果和蔬菜摄入量以及减少脂肪消耗。在干预学校设立了SNACs，以评估学校整体食物环境，并推进促进健康食物环境的校级政策。
