Rates of childhood obesity among children ages 2-5 years have tripled during the past thirty years. Despite these high rates, few nutrition education and obesity prevention programs have been developed to assist children in this age group to make healthy food choices. Because vegetable intake is beneficial for maintaining a healthy weight, it is important to develop and evaluate programs that promote vegetable consumption within the preschool-aged population. Schools have been identified as an important arena for implementing these programs as fruit and vegetables are served daily and children have many opportunities to learn and practice healthy eating behaviors. The purpose of this study was to conduct an outcome evaluation of a multi-component school-based vegetable promotion program with preschool students living in an urban environment. The program included classroom, lunchroom, and family components. Behavior change strategies rooted in social learning theory and behavioral psychology were integrated into the program. This preliminary investigation found that the multi-component intervention was effective in helping young children to consume more vegetables during school lunch. Surprisingly, however, students' knowledge about fruit and vegetables did not change. The program was acceptable to teachers, lunch monitors, and students. Treatment integrity was variable and methods for increasing treatment integrity are discussed. This study represents a low-cost, easy to implement, school-based intervention that resulted in small changes in young children's vegetable consumption. It is among a handful of studies to intervene with this age group to promote healthier eating.
