Abstract

<p>Objective: The Nutrition Education Committee of the Japanese Society of Health Education and Promotion summarized the necessities for investigations and evaluations on food in schools from field study and activity in open workshops.</p><p>Description: Field survey: From November 2018 to January 2019, we conducted an anonymous self-administered questionnaire survey (valid response rate: 37.4%) on 262 nutrition teachers and school nutrition staff in Gunma, Tochigi, Chiba, Saitama, and Hiroshima. We examined the implementation status of investigations and evaluations on food. Additionally, we qualitatively analyzed free responses on “what you think is necessary to improve the system.” Many in the group, with an established system, evaluated food and nutrition education plans [OR (95%CI): 4.70 (1.68, 13.19)]. As necessities for system development, nine categories were extracted from the group with an established system and eight categories from the group without an established system, such as organization and system preparation, integration into the curriculum, cooperation with managers and other teachers. Case studies: In facilities with an established system that make their own school lunches or that have them made at a school lunch center, members had clear roles in the food and nutrition education promotion organization and were able to cooperate.</p><p>Conclusion: To investigate and evaluate in relation to food, it is necessary to (1) develop systems inside and outside school, (2) position food and nutrition education within the curriculum, (3) cooperate with managers and teaching and administrative staff, (4) secure time and labor for investigation and evaluation, and (5) construct tabulation systems.</p>
