Research Brief: Innovations in School Meals
The “Multi-Pronged Intervention to Increase Secondary Student Participation in School Lunch” was a 3-year quasi-experimental study to examine novel methods for increasing school-meal participation. This study was implemented in partnership with the San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD) during the 2015-2018 school years. Main outcomes were school meal participation, self-reported fruit and vegetable consumption and school meal perceptions among students.
