Child health promotion is a salient public health goal. Childhood obesity rates have risen dramatically over the past few decades with more than 20% of youths overweight or obese by the time they enter middle school. Population-based strategies including those delivered through schools are needed to positively impact this trend. The IMOVE program evaluation, a quasi-experimental study involving one intervention and one comparison school, examines the influence of a school-based healthy eating program in a middle school cafeteria serving low-income, racially-diverse adolescents.

520 $a Child health promotion is a salient public health goal. Childhood obesity rates have risen dramatically over the past few decades with more than 20% of youths overweight or obese by the time they enter middle school. Population-based strategies including those delivered through schools are needed to positively impact this trend. The IMOVE program evaluation, a quasi-experimental study involving one intervention and one comparison school, examines the influence of a school-based healthy eating program in a middle school cafeteria serving low-income, racially-diverse adolescents.
520 $a Study 1 examined the association between the availability of healthy lunch meals (IMOVE meals) in school cafeterias and lunch and snack food purchase patterns of students. The introduction of IMOVE resulted in significantly less participation in purchase of low nutritional quality snack foods from fall to spring term. Students in both schools had similarly high participation in school lunch all year long, suggesting that IMOVE participation was sustainable.
520 $a Study 2 examined the association between body mass index and purchase of IMOVE and standard school lunch meals in the intervention school. This study also identified sociodemographic predictors of participation in the school lunch program. Students who were overweight or obese had a significantly higher rate of purchase of both types of lunches, but even more so for standard school lunch than for IMOVE meals, compared to students who were not overweight/obese. Other characteristics significantly associated with participation in IMOVE and standard school lunch were nonwhite race, sixth grade, and low-income status.
520 $a Study 3 examined the association between exposure to IMOVE and total daily food and nutrient intake measured using an abbreviated food screener before and after the intervention. At follow-up, students in the IMOVE school consumed sugary beverages and higher-fat milk offerings less often in their daily diets than students in the comparison school.
520 $a Efforts to combat childhood obesity through changes in the school food environment have some impact, but require the support of policy action and nutrition education initiatives to be most effective. The IMOVE program proved feasible, acceptable, and sustainable, providing a model upon which to build additional intervention components to more comprehensively impact student wellness.
