This study aimed to identify factors in school physical and social environments that may facilitate or compete with programs and policies to improve student physical activity and nutrition. Focus groups and interviews were conducted with students, faculty, and staff of two public middle schools. Participants identified numerous aspects of the school environments as significant. Competition, teasing and bullying, time, and safety were described as major barriers for students to be physically active during physical education class, on sports teams, and before and after school. The quality of the food served, easy access to nonnutritious snacks, limited time for lunch period, and weight concerns emerged as significant reasons why students do not eat nutritious meals in school. When developing programs and policies to improve the health of students, environmental influences that undermine efforts to improve student health behaviors must be addressed.
本研究旨在确定学校体育和社会环境中可能促进或阻碍改善学生体育活动和营养的计划及政策的因素。对两所公立中学的学生、教师和工作人员进行了焦点小组访谈。参与者认为学校环境的许多方面都很重要。竞争、取笑和欺凌、时间和安全被描述为学生在体育课、运动队以及上学前后进行体育活动的主要障碍。所提供食物的质量、非营养零食的便捷获取、午餐时间有限以及对体重的担忧成为学生在校不吃营养餐的重要原因。在制定改善学生健康的计划和政策时，必须解决那些破坏改善学生健康行为努力的环境影响因素。
