在英国，很大一部分儿童在学校放假期间面临食物不安全的风险。政府资助的假日活动和食品(HAF)方案为符合条件的儿童和青少年提供免费假日俱乐部，每天至少提供一顿健康的食物。这项研究旨在评估HAF假日俱乐部提供的食物的营养质量，特别是热/冷和素食/非素食餐。来自49个HAF假日俱乐部的菜单变体(n=2759)被评估遵守学校食品标准(SFS)及其概念组成质量，并使用一种新的基于营养的膳食质量指数对其进行评分。在所有可用菜单中，SFS的中位数遵从率为70%(IQR59-79%)。总体而言，在5-11年(92.3(80.7-102.7)比80.4(69.3-90.6))和11-18年(73.5(62.5-85.8)比58.9(50.0-70.7))两个标准上，热版本的菜单质量得分都高于冷版本。冷菜单和热菜单变体在质量子组件上的得分往往不同。这些发现突显了未来HAF假日俱乐部食品供应的潜在改进领域，对于11至18岁的参与者来说，食品供应似乎不那么理想。确保来自低收入家庭的儿童能够获得健康饮食，对于减少英国健康不平等至关重要。
A large proportion of children are at risk of food insecurity during school holidays in the UK. The government-funded Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) programme provides free holiday clubs offering at least one healthy meal/day to eligible children and adolescents. This study aims at evaluating the nutritional quality of food provision at HAF holiday clubs, particularly hot/cold and vegetarian/non-vegetarian meals. Menu variants (n = 2759) from 49 HAF holiday clubs were assessed for adherence to School Food Standards (SFS) and their notional compositional quality, which was scored utilising a novel nutrient-based meal quality index. The median adherence to SFS across all available menus was 70% (IQR 59–79%). Overall, hot variants scored statistically higher menu quality scores than cold variants for both 5–11y (92.3 (80.7–102.7) vs. 80.4 (69.3–90.6)) and 11–18y (73.5 (62.5–85.8) vs. 58.9 (50.0–70.7)) criteria. Cold and hot menu variants tended to score differentially for quality sub-components. These findings highlight areas for potential future improvement in HAF holiday club provision with a tendency for food provision to appear less ideal for attendees for those aged 11–18. Ensuring that children from low-income households have access to a healthy diet is crucial to reduce UK health inequalities.
