Cafeteria Power Plus项目研究了基于食堂的干预措施是否会增加儿童的水果和蔬菜消费量。26所学校被随机分配到干预或控制条件。基线午餐观察的一个样本（N = 1668）的一年级和三年级的学生发生在2000年春天，后续是在2002年春天。干预发生在2000年秋季开始的连续两个学年，包括日常活动（增加可用性，吸引力，并鼓励FV）和特殊活动（开球，采样，挑战周，戏剧制作，最后一餐）。在整个干预阶段，对餐饮服务人员和厨师管理人员的培训一直在进行。干预学校的学生显著增加了他们的水果总摄入量。过程的措施表明，由餐饮服务人员的口头鼓励与结果。结果表明，多组分的干预措施是更强大的比单独与这个年龄组的自助餐厅计划。
The Cafeteria Power Plus project examined whether a cafeteria-based intervention would increase the fruit and vegetable (FV) consumption of children. Twenty-six schools were randomly assigned to either an intervention or control condition. Baseline lunch observations of a sample (N = 1668) of first- and third-grade students occurred in the spring of 2000; follow-up was in the spring of 2002. The intervention took place during two consecutive school years beginning in the fall of 2000 and consisted of daily activities (increasing the availability, attractiveness, and encouragement for FV) and special events (kick-offs, samplings, challenge weeks, theater production, and finale meal). Training of food-service staff and cook managers was ongoing throughout the intervention phase. Students in the intervention schools significantly increased their total fruit intake. Process measures indicated that verbal encouragement by food-service staff was associated with outcomes. The outcomes suggest that multicomponent interventions are more powerful than cafeteria programs alone with this age group.
