QUIZAN PLATA, Trinidad et al. Effectiveness of the program Promotion of Healthy Eating in basic public school students of Sonora, Mexico. Estud. soc [online]. 2013, vol.21, n.42, pp.175-203. ISSN 0188-4557.
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of an intervention program (IP) in students attending public primary schools of Sonora, Mexico. An experimental randomized and controlled study was conducted. Three schools for the intervention program (n=62) and three as a control (n=64). IP consisted in several strategies as educational workshops, publicity, healthy food availability, rewards for healthy food consumption, infantile song and dietary guidelines. Healthy food availability expended in school stores increased after the application of intervention program (p≤0.05). Healthy food consumption during recess changed at the end of IP increasing the consumption of fruit and vegetables. Children in schools where the program was not applied were at higher risk for unhealthy foods during recess (OR, 95%, CI, 3.7, 1.7-7.8, p-0.001). Macronutrient intake was lower in the intervention program (p≤0.05). IP had a positive effect in intervention group children.
