Children and adolescents consume up to half of their daily calories in schools, making these settings important locations for influencing the nutrition habits of innumerable youth. Sugarsweetened beverages (SSBs), such as soda, sports drinks, or fruit drinks with added sugar, are a major, non-nutritive calorie source and the largest contributor of added sugar in the diet [1]. In an effort to reduce SSB intake among youth, federal, state, and local policies have restricted access to and marketing of SSBs in schools. While these anti-SSB policies appear to reduce the availability of SSBs in schools [2], it is unclear whether such regulations have an impact on students’ consumption of sugary drinks [3].Recently, federal and state legislation to improve access to healthier beverages such as drinking water have emerged as a complement to longer standing anti-SSB policies. In 2010, the federal Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act required schools participating in federal meal programs to provide free potable water where meals are served. A few states have also followed suit; West Virginia, Massachusetts, Maine, and Ohio all have strong laws that require free drinking water to be available on school campuses throughout the school day [4]. Few school districts, however, have adopted policies to improve drinking water access on school campuses. As of the 2012e2013 school year, only one in 10 US school districts had wellness policies that required schools to make free water available where meals are served or throughout the campus during the school day [5]. To our knowledge, no studies have examined the impact of these water access policies on students’ consumption of water and SSBs. In their article,“School District Policies and Adolescents’ Soda Consumption,” published in this month’s issue of the Journal of Adolescent Health, Miller et al.[6] provide timely data regarding the role of school nutrition policies in influencing students’ dietary behaviors. In their cross-sectional examination of data from a nationally representative sample of schools and students, the authors found that adolescents’ soda intake was lower in school districts that (1) restricted promotional products;(2) limited access to SSBs; and (3) offered healthful beverages as an alternative when other beverages were available. These results add to the limited studies that explore how school district nutrition policies impact students’ dietary behaviors.
