School practices and policies that support or detract from healthy beverage behaviours are widely recognized as important environmental influences on student's food and beverage choices. Recent surveys suggest that Canadian and US children consume large amounts of soft drinks, including carbonated sodas and fruit-based sugar sweetened drinks. The high sugar content of these beverages is viewed as a potential risk factor for childhood obesity that has reached epidemic proportions in Canada and the US. Public concerns over what children eat or drink in Canadian schools gained prominence since the beginning of this inquiry, demonstrated by recent media coverage to policy debate which helps underline the timeliness and relevance of the study.

520 $a School practices and policies that support or detract from healthy beverage behaviours are widely recognized as important environmental influences on student's food and beverage choices. Recent surveys suggest that Canadian and US children consume large amounts of soft drinks, including carbonated sodas and fruit-based sugar sweetened drinks. The high sugar content of these beverages is viewed as a potential risk factor for childhood obesity that has reached epidemic proportions in Canada and the US. Public concerns over what children eat or drink in Canadian schools gained prominence since the beginning of this inquiry, demonstrated by recent media coverage to policy debate which helps underline the timeliness and relevance of the study.
520 $a The main purpose of this study was to gain an informed understanding of the views, policies and practices relating to beverage provision and consumption in elementary schools with special reference to the Saskatchewan educational system. The inquiry embodied two major, complementary and sequential activities: first, a comprehensive review of pertinent literature and, second, field interviews and observations, which were delimited to Saskatchewan schools. The design and conduct of the field inquiry was guided by Parsons' tripartite structural theory of formal organizations. The Parsonian framework was drawn on to guide the interview and site observations, and provide an interpretative framework for data collected. The construct of loose coupling as proposed by Weick and developed in Meyer and Rowan's study of schools and school districts provided a context for looking in greater detail at Parsons' notion of "qualitative breaks" between and within organizational levels.
520 $a It was decided to focus on individuals whose work would likely give them some understanding of the issues involved, and who were also in a position to potentially effect change. A total of 20 interviewees, seven at the institutional level (senior officials at various provincial level organizations such as Saskatchewan Learning), seven at the managerial level (Regional Directors & Directors of school divisions), and six at the technical level (principals) participated. A snowball sampling technique was used to identify interview participants for the field component of the study. Site visits were conducted at the six schools where principals were interviewed (technical level). (Abstract shortened by UMI.)
