Enactment and enforcement of school nutrition policies represent key components in adolescent overweight and obesity prevention. This study determined: 1) California school board members' attitudes, perceptions, and motivations related to enactment of policies that support healthy eating in schools; and 2) barriers to adopting school policies that support healthy eating. To understand board members' decision-making process, key informant interviews were conducted and a survey was administered to 404 school board members. Though school board members care about the well-being of pupils, competing priorities limit the extent to which nutrition issues get addressed at board meetings. Members' decisions center primarily around academic achievement issues, yet they are interested in nutrition's overall impact on children's health and academic achievement.
制定和实施学校营养政策是预防青少年超重和肥胖的关键组成部分。本研究确定了：1）加利福尼亚州学校董事会成员对制定支持学校健康饮食政策的态度、看法和动机；2）采用支持健康饮食的学校政策的障碍。为了解董事会成员的决策过程，进行了关键信息访谈，并对404名学校董事会成员进行了调查。尽管学校董事会成员关心学生的福祉，但相互竞争的优先事项限制了董事会会议讨论营养问题的程度。成员的决策主要围绕学业成就问题，但他们也对营养对儿童健康和学业成就的总体影响感兴趣。
