To conduct a nationwide assessment of child nutrition administrative agencies' responses to meal service provision during coronavirus disease 2019-related school closures.
Systematic coding of government websites (February-May 2020) regarding school meal provision in all 50 US states and the District of Columbia, 5 US territories, and the US Department of Interior Bureau of Indian Education.
All US jurisdictions (N = 57).
Seven coding criteria were established to assess the strengths and weaknesses of jurisdictions' responses derived from emergency declarations, school closure announcements, and government websites on emergency school meals.
Descriptive analyses.
Most jurisdictions mentioned school meal provisions in school closure announcements (76.4%), provided easily interpretable information and/or maps about meal sites (57.9%), and included detailed information about school meal provisions in their coronavirus disease 2019 landing webpages (n = 26, 51%). Fewer provided updated and comprehensive implementation guidance (39.3%), referenced school closures in emergency declarations (37.5%), had clear communication/outreach to families (21.4%), or partnered with antihunger organizations (11.6%).
Understanding initial jurisdictions' approaches are critical to current and future emergency planning during school closures and reopening to help address food insecurity better, limit disease transmission, and prevent health disparities, particularly among at-risk populations.
对儿童营养行政机构在与 2019 冠状病毒病相关的学校关闭期间提供膳食服务的反应进行全国性评估。
对所有 50 个美国州和哥伦比亚特区、5 个美国领土以及美国内政部印第安人教育局的政府网站上关于学校供餐的内容进行系统编码（2020 年 2 月至 5 月）。
所有美国司法管辖区（N=57）。
确定了 7 个编码标准，以评估各司法管辖区从紧急声明、学校关闭公告和政府网站上获取的应急学校膳食反应的优缺点。
描述性分析。
大多数司法管辖区在学校关闭公告中提到了学校膳食供应（76.4%），提供了易于解释的有关膳食地点的信息和/或地图（57.9%），并在其 2019 年冠状病毒疾病登陆网页中包含了详细的学校膳食供应信息（n=26，51%）。较少的司法管辖区提供了更新和全面的实施指南（39.3%），在紧急声明中参考学校关闭（37.5%），与家庭有明确的沟通/外联（21.4%），或与反饥饿组织合作（11.6%）。
了解各司法管辖区最初的方法对于当前和未来的学校关闭和重新开放期间的应急计划至关重要，有助于更好地解决粮食不安全问题，限制疾病传播，并防止健康差距，特别是在高危人群中。
