本文介绍了国家卫生机构发起的一项研究倡议，以学校为基础的干预措施。在所审查的七个项目中，有四个项目取得了显著的成果，平均效果大小为0.4份蔬菜和水果。结果与更大规模、控制良好、成本更高的“每天5次，改善健康”疗效试验相当。这些可比的研究结果强调了评估干预措施在现实世界中的有效性的价值，以潜在地使测试战略的大规模实施。这些小规模的有效性试验表明，以学校为基础的干预措施是可行的，实施当前和有效的战略，并可能促进健康促进的研究转化为实践。这些项目在社区一级促进了宝贵的研究/实践伙伴关系。研究的局限性包括研究方法的异质性、参与者流失和报告数据的可变性。需要进一步研究，以制定标准化的，具有成本效益的饮食评估方法，在社区环境中可行的传播研究。
This article profiles a research initiative of state health agency-initiated 5 A Day school-based interventions. Four of the seven projects reviewed had significant results, with an average effect size of 0.4 servings of vegetables and fruit. Results are comparable with the largerscale, well-controlled, and more costly 5 A Day For Better Health efficacy trials. These comparable findings underscore the value of assessing effectiveness of interventions in real-world settings to potentially enable wide-scale implementation of tested strategies. These small effectiveness trials show that school-based interventions are feasible to implement using current and effective strategies, and may facilitate translation of health promotion research to practice. The projects fostered valuable research/practice partnerships at the community level. Limitations across studies included heterogeneity in research methods, participant attrition, and variability in reporting data. Further research is needed to develop standardized, cost-effective dietary assessment methodology for viable dissemination research in community settings.
