Needed: A Systematic Approach
to Prevention• Sets priorities based on relevant data,
rigorous analysis, and available resources
• Carefully examines scientific evidence of effectiveness for specific interventions
• Allows for community involvement and ownership
![Page 21: Glancing Back, Moving Forward](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022103101/56814de6550346895dbb5688/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Needed: An Integrated Approach
to Prevention• Recognizes that many youth engage in multiple risk behaviors that share common antecedents and can be prevented through common protective factors
• Applies existing, categorical, evidence-based interventions in a strategic and sustained fashion
• Implements cross-cutting interventions that address multiple outcomes simultaneously
![Page 22: Glancing Back, Moving Forward](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022103101/56814de6550346895dbb5688/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

Coordinated School Health:The Process
• Promoting health is embraced as a fundamental part of the school mission
• Strong administrative and school board support
• School health council / school health team
• School health coordinator
• Health goals included in school improvement plan
![Page 24: Glancing Back, Moving Forward](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022103101/56814de6550346895dbb5688/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Coordinated School Health:The Process
• Priorities determined through a systematic assessment and planning process that
– Is evidence-based and data-driven
– Includes extensive input from the school and community
![Page 25: Glancing Back, Moving Forward](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022103101/56814de6550346895dbb5688/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
State Actions to Support Coordinated School Health • Require each school district establish and
maintain a School Health Council with designated responsibilities (AR, FL, IN, MD, MS, NC, NM, OH, OK, RI, SC, TN, TX, VA)
• Require a school health coordinator for district (KY, MS, TN)
• Require use of School Health Index by schools (AR, HI, TN)
• Include health goals and objectives in School Improvement Plan (AR, DE, RI, WV)
![Page 26: Glancing Back, Moving Forward](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022103101/56814de6550346895dbb5688/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

Key Strategies for Nutrition
• Ensure that all foods and beverages sold or served are nutritious and appealing
• Promote fruit and vegetable intake through procurement, marketing, salad bars, and Farm to School strategies
• Increase access to plain drinking water
• Use marketing strategies and behavioral economics
• Increase the professional qualifications of child nutrition program managers and directors
![Page 28: Glancing Back, Moving Forward](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022103101/56814de6550346895dbb5688/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Maine’s Nutrition Standards for Competitive Foods in Schools (2006)
• Sale of foods of minimal nutritional value (e.g., sodas, gum, licorice) prohibited 24/7 (exceptions allowed for public events and sales to school staff)
• Only foods and beverages that contribute to the nutritional needs of children shall be sold
• Only healthy foods and beverages may be advertised on school grounds
![Page 29: Glancing Back, Moving Forward](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022103101/56814de6550346895dbb5688/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Existence of State Policies Establishing Nutrition Standards for Competitive Foods
in Schools
*
= Has Standards for Competitive Foods= Developing Standards= No State Standards
![Page 30: Glancing Back, Moving Forward](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022103101/56814de6550346895dbb5688/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
• Federally reimbursable school nutrition programs should be the main source of nutrition in schools.
• Opportunities for competitive foods should be limited.
• If competitive foods are available, they should consist primarily of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and fat-free or low-fat milk and milk products.
![Page 31: Glancing Back, Moving Forward](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022103101/56814de6550346895dbb5688/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
o Standards for Food Content(1-6)• ≤35% calories from fat, ≤10% calories from saturated
fat, zero trans fat
• Total calories ≤ 200
• ≤35% of calories from total sugar
• ≤ 200 mg sodium snacks, ≤480 mg for à la carte entrée
• No caffeine in food and beverage & limits non-nutritive sweeteners
o Standards for the School Day (7-11)• Drinking water available to all students free of cost
• Food and beverages not used as reward or discipline
• Sports drinks not available during the school day
• Minimize marketing of foods and beverages
o Standards for the After School Setting (12-13)• Standards for on-campus fundraisers and after school activities
![Page 32: Glancing Back, Moving Forward](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022103101/56814de6550346895dbb5688/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
West Virginia Policy for Competitive Foods and Beverages in Schools (2008)
Per product/package:
• <200 total calories
• <35% of calories from total fat and <10% from saturated fat (excluding nuts, seeds or cheese); <0.5 grams of trans fat
• <35% of calories from sugar (excluding fruits)
• <200 mg of sodium
• Prohibited
• Caffeine containing beverages with >trace amounts
• Foods containing non-nutritive sweeteners
• Use of food and beverages as a reward or punishment
• FMNV all day throughout elementary and middle school campus
also
• Guidelines for foods brought from the home to the classroom
• Availability of fresh drinking water at no cost
![Page 33: Glancing Back, Moving Forward](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022103101/56814de6550346895dbb5688/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
• Schools can have strong nutrition standards and maintain financial stability
– WV – 80% of principals: little or no change in revenue
– CT–Pilot study (5 schools): increase in NSLP, no changes in school finances
– Making It Happen – 15/16 schools and districts reported increase or no change in revenue
• Careful selection and clever marketing of healthier choices can minimize financial risk
Financial Implications of Nutrition Standards

High Quality Physical Education• Based on national
standards
• Emphasizes lifetime physical activity
• Meets the needs of all students
• Keeps students active most of class time

![Page 37: Glancing Back, Moving Forward](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022103101/56814de6550346895dbb5688/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
High Quality Physical Education Requires
• Adequate time (150 min/week for elementary; 225 min/week for secondary)
• Highly qualified teachers
• Adequate facilities and supplies
• Reasonable class sizes
• A written curriculum
• Student assessment
![Page 38: Glancing Back, Moving Forward](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022103101/56814de6550346895dbb5688/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
How States and Districts Are Helping
• Implement policies to increase time for PE
• Require time for daily physical activity
• Promote standards-based curricula and evidence-based programs
• Implement student assessment for PE
• Prohibit use of physical activity to punish
• Collect data on youth fitness
![Page 39: Glancing Back, Moving Forward](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022103101/56814de6550346895dbb5688/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)

• # 1 factor that will have the largest impact on the workplace over the next five years:

Rising Health Care Costs
Making Appropriate Choices Concerning Health and Wellness (76% of employer respondents rated it as “most critical”)

Estimated Financial Costs of Our Failure to Sufficiently Address
Youth Health Problems• Among 15-24 year olds in 2000:
– Total lifetime costs of injuries: $79.8 billion1
– Costs of new cases of STDs: $6.5 billion2
• Average annual costs associated with a child born to a teen mother in 2004: $9.1 billion3
• Total costs for treating asthma in 2006: $8 billion4

Economic Costs Associated with Obesity are High
Direct health care costs of obesity and overweight:
• 1998: $74 billion
• 2008: $147 billion
• ½ of costs publicly financed by Medicare or Medicaid
• Obesity accounts for 9.1% of annual medical spending

Weight Issues Plague the Military
• The Department of Defense estimates as many as 1/3 of military-age youth are ineligible for service because of their weight.2
• In 2007, approximately 15,000 military recruits failed the entrance physical exam because of weight/body fat limits; this was the most common reason for medical disqualification among applicants for active duty enlisted service.3-4
