This study evaluated the potential of youth partnerships to improve the school environment and child nutrition.
A quasi-experimental trial was conducted with 2 intervention and 3 control schools. Intervention schools selected student leaders to participate in youth-led interventions in their schools. Students (n = 104) were included in the evaluation if they were in the fourth grade at baseline and had complete baseline and follow-up data. The intervention trained student leaders in research, advocacy, and nutrition. Leaders implemented interventions appropriate to their schools. Changes in children's reported dietary intake were examined. Data were analyzed using multivariable regression.
Children's diets changed in response to the interventions offered at the schools, although the dietary changes differed by the types of interventions selected.
Partnering with youth, even at the elementary school level, is a promising avenue for developing tailored interventions for schools.
本研究评估了青年伙伴关系改善学校环境和儿童营养的潜力。
采用准实验试验，对 2 所干预学校和 3 所对照学校进行了研究。干预学校选择学生领袖参与学校内的青年主导干预。如果学生在基线时处于四年级且具有完整的基线和随访数据，则将其纳入评估(n=104)。干预措施培训学生领袖进行研究、宣传和营养方面的工作。领导者实施适合其学校的干预措施。检查儿童报告的饮食摄入的变化。使用多变量回归分析数据。
尽管干预措施的类型不同，但学校提供的干预措施确实改变了儿童的饮食。
即使在小学阶段与青年合作，也是为学校制定量身定制的干预措施的一个有前途的途径。
