The problem
Intervention: School breakfast and lunch programs with outreach and culturally appropriate communication emphasizing family benefits
Who it was tested with: Pacific Islander families with K-12 children in United States public schools (n=150 parents).
Experience from people who deliver programmes: stories, case studies and lessons learned. Valuable for understanding how and why, and for spotting what to test next, but not a measure of effect.
"A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 150 Pacific Islander parents of K-12 public school students across the United States. Parents reported their child's participation in the school breakfast program (SBP) and national school lunch program (NSLP), perceptions of school meals, and demographic characteristics. Logistic regression was used to identify predictors of daily/almost daily participation." The study measures associations between parent perceptions and reported participation without a control group or prospective design.
Cross-sectional design cannot establish causation. Study relies on parent report without validation of actual child participation or food consumption. No comparison group and no measurement of health outcomes.
