State agencies play a critical role in providing school districts with guidance and technical assistance on school nutrition issues, including food and beverage marketing practices. We examined associations between state-level guidance and the policies and practices in school districts regarding food and beverage marketing and promotion. State policy guidance was positively associated with districts prohibiting advertisements for junk food or fast food restaurants on school property. Technical assistance from states was negatively associated with 2 district practices to restrict marketing of unhealthy foods and beverages, but positively associated with 1 practice to promote healthy options. These findings may help inform the guidance that states provide to school districts and help identify which districts may need additional assistance to address marketing and promotion practices.
州政府机构在为学区提供学校营养问题（包括食品和饮料营销实践）的指导和技术援助方面发挥着关键作用。我们研究了州级指导与学区在食品和饮料营销和推广方面的政策和做法之间的关联。州政策指导与学区禁止在学校财产上为垃圾食品或快餐店做广告呈正相关。州政府提供的技术援助与 2 个限制不健康食品和饮料营销的学区做法呈负相关，但与 1 个促进健康选择的做法呈正相关。这些发现可能有助于为学区提供州政府提供的指导，并有助于确定哪些学区可能需要额外的援助来解决营销和推广做法。
