在之前的一项研究中，我们发现，在2012年4月地区连锁餐厅银餐厅实施更健康的儿童菜单后，顾客订购了更健康的食物。在这项研究中，我们使用最新的数据来评估儿童的菜单项目的订单后，我们最后一次评估的一年和两年。以前的评估分别在2011年9月至2012年3月和2012年9月至2013年3月，即实施新菜单之前和之后进行。订单是从餐馆的中央数据库中提取出来的。我们发现，在两个随访期内，与前一项研究相比，总体变化持续存在，但有一些小的波动（例如，健康配菜订单的流行率从儿童餐的38%变为74%，然后是76%，然后是连续研究期间的75%）。随访时的点菜模式比菜单改变前保持健康，在某些情况下继续改善。类似的干预措施有可能促进可持续的更健康的订购模式，并为政策提供信息。
In a previous study we showed that customers ordered healthier food following the April 2012 implementation of a healthier children's menu at Silver Diner, a regional restaurant chain. In this study we used newly available data to assess orders of children's menu items both one and two years after our last assessment. Previous assessments took place in September 2011-March 2012 and in September 2012-March 2013, before and after implementation of the new menu, respectively. Orders were abstracted from the restaurant's central database. We found that the overarching changes from the previous study were sustained during the two follow-up periods, with some small fluctuations (for example, the prevalence of healthy side dish orders changed from 38 percent of children's meals ordered to 74 percent, then 76 percent, and then 75 percent in the successive study periods). Ordering patterns at follow-up remained healthier than before the menu change and in some cases continued to improve. Similar interventions have the potential to promote sustainable healthier ordering patterns and inform policy.
