To estimate the costs per relevant unit (pupils and meals) associated with improvements to school food and the potential economic and health gains that may result.
Calculation of costs per relevant unit (pupils and meals) based on (i) Department for Education expenditure to support improvements in school food, 2005–2011 and (ii) measures of the changes in the number of pupils taking school lunch and the number of meals served over the same time period; plus examples of the use of linked data to predict longer-term economic and health outcomes of healthier eating at school.
England.
Local authorities, government departments and non-departmental public bodies.
Analysis of investment over a 6-year period indicates that costs of setting up and maintaining a change organization such as the School Food Trust were low in relation to short-term benefits in nutrition and behaviour. Models that predict long-terms gains to the exchequer and to quality-adjusted life years need further elaboration.
Modest levels of government investment in the delivery and promotion of healthier school food is likely to yield both short-term and long-term benefits in relation to nutrition, learning, economics and health.
评估与改善学校食品相关的每个相关单位（学生和餐食）的成本，以及可能由此带来的经济和健康收益。
根据（i）2005-2011 年教育部支持改善学校食品的支出，以及（ii）同期学生在校午餐人数和供餐数量变化的衡量标准，计算每个相关单位（学生和餐食）的成本；并举例说明了如何使用关联数据来预测学校更健康饮食的长期经济和健康影响。
英格兰。
地方当局、政府部门和非部门公共机构。
对 6 年投资的分析表明，与营养和行为方面的短期收益相比，设立和维持学校食品信托等变革组织的成本较低。预测财政和调整生命年收益的模型需要进一步详细说明。
政府在提供和推广更健康的学校食品方面适度投资，可能会在营养、学习、经济和健康方面带来短期和长期的收益。
