Evaluation of a Comprehensive School Nutrition Enrichment Intervention (CSNEI) in Rural School Districts

Obesity, Childhood Clinical Trial

Official title:
Evaluation of a Comprehensive School Nutrition Enrichment Intervention (CSNEI) in Rural School Districts

Clinical Trial Summary

Obesity is a significant cause of cancer and cardiovascular disease incidence and mortality, and diabetes incidence among rural communities. Arkansas has the sixth-highest proportion of rural population (~41%),and has the third-highest obesity prevalence (37.4%) in the nation. Arkansas has the third-highest prevalence of obesity for high school students (22.1%) and the fifth-highest prevalence for children ages 10-17 (20.2%). In Arkansas, children in rural areas have very high rates of both food insecurity (26%) and free and reduced lunch eligibility (72.9%). In the study's 6 participating school districts, free and reduced lunch eligibility ranges from 51.4% to 79.3%. School meals are an important opportunity to influence students' nutritional intake and long-term food preferences, which can reduce obesity. A multidisciplinary team has partnered with 6 rural Arkansas school districts which have agreed to participate in a study to evaluate the effects of an evidence-based population-level policy intervention designed to improve the nutritional quality of food served in schools. The study team will conduct a matched-pairs cluster-randomized trial with pre-test and repeated post-tests in 6 rural Arkansas school districts, 3 implementing CSNEI, and 3 matched comparison school districts following their existing nutritional practices. Baseline data collection will take place prior to implementation (Year 1), and follow-up data will be collected annually thereafter (Years 2-5). The study will compare individual-level change in relative body mass index (adjusted for age and sex) and district-level changes in the nutritional quality of food served, amount of food consumed per diner, and fruit and vegetable intake in school districts implementing the intervention compared to matched comparison districts.
