课外活动（ASP，下午3- 6点）中提供的零食是促进健康饮食的重要机会。ASP政策建议每天供应水果/蔬菜，而含糖食品/饮料和人工调味零食则被淘汰。有限的信息存在于ASP服务的零食类型，如果零食满足现有的营养政策，儿童是否吃的零食，和他们的cost.METHODSDirect观察的零食服务和消费收集在20个ASP服务超过1700小学年龄的儿童。评价每周提供零食的天数是否符合营养政策。零食的费用通过收据收集。OCTSPrograms每周提供2.7天和2.1天的甜点和人工调味的咸味零食。水果和蔬菜的供应分别为0.6和0.1天/周。含糖饮料供应1.8天/周。在观察到的儿童（N=383）中，75%至100%食用了供应的零食，95%和100%食用了供应的水果/蔬菜。没有ASP每天供应水果/蔬菜，18份供应含糖食物，16份供应人工风味小吃，14份供应含糖饮料。甜点和咸零食成本为0.27 - 0.32美元/零食与0.38 - 0.40美元/零食的蔬菜/水果。CONCLUSIONSThe质量的零食未能满足营养政策，并主要由高糖和人工调味的选择。需要制定战略，在解决价格障碍的同时，改善ASP中的小吃供应。
BACKGROUNDSnacks served in afterschool programs (ASPs, 3-6pm) represent an important opportunity to promote healthy eating. ASP policies suggest a fruit/vegetable is served daily, while sugar-sweetened foods/beverages and artificially flavored snacks are eliminated. Limited information exists on the types of snacks served in ASPs, if snacks meet existing nutrition policies, whether children eat the snacks, and their cost.METHODSDirect observation of snacks served and consumed was collected in 20 ASPs serving over 1700 elementary age children. The number of days that snacks were served/week was evaluated for compliance with nutrition policies. Costs of snacks were collected via receipts.RESULTSPrograms served desserts and artificially flavored salty snacks on 2.7 and 2.1days/week. Fruits and vegetables were served 0.6 and 0.1days/week, respectively. Sugar-sweetened beverages were served 1.8days/week. Of the children (N=383) observed, 75% to 100% consumed the snack served, with 95% and 100% of served fruits/vegetables consumed. No ASP served fruit/vegetables daily, 18 served sugar-sweetened foods, 16 served artificially flavored snacks, and 14 served sugar-sweetened beverages. Desserts and salty snacks cost $0.27-$0.32/snack vs $0.38-$0.40/snack for vegetables/fruits.CONCLUSIONSThe quality of snacks failed to meet nutrition policies and consists of predominately high-sugar and artificially flavored options. Strategies to improve snack offerings in ASPs while addressing price barriers are required.
