School District Wellness Policies: Evaluating Progress and Potential for Improving Children's Health Three Years After the Federal Mandate: School Years 2006-07, 2007-08 and 2008-09
This new report examines the latest data on district wellness policies, including provisions for school meal guidelines, physical activity goals and other requirements of the federal mandate. It also compares wellness policy guidelines with the 2007 Institute of Medicine (IOM) nutritional standards for competitive products sold in schools. Findings are based on nationally representative samples of school districts from the three school years immediately following the required adoption date for these policies.
In 2006, Bridging the Gap began an ongoing, large-scale study to gather nationally representative data about school district policies and school practices relevant to childhood obesity.
