目的：在全国范围内评估儿童营养管理机构对2019冠状病毒病相关学校关闭期间膳食服务提供的反应。设计：政府网站的系统编码（2020年2月至5月）关于美国所有50个州和哥伦比亚特区、5个美国领土以及美国内政部印第安人教育局的学校供餐。参与者：所有美国司法管辖区（N = 57）。测量变量：建立了七个编码标准，以评估来自紧急声明，学校关闭公告和政府网站上的紧急学校膳食的jur isdictions'响应的优势和劣势。分析：描述性分析。结果：大多数司法管辖区在学校关闭公告中提到学校供餐规定（76.4%），提供了易于理解的用餐地点信息和/或地图（57.9%），并在其冠状病毒病2019登陆网页（n = 26，51%）中包含有关学校膳食供应的详细信息。提供最新和全面执行指导的国家较少（39.3%），在紧急声明中提到学校关闭（37.5%），与家庭有明确的沟通/外展（21.4%），或与反饥饿组织合作（11.6%）。结论及启示：在学校关闭和重新开放期间，了解初始管辖区的方法对于当前和未来的应急规划至关重要，更好地解决粮食不安全问题，限制疾病传播，防止健康差距，特别是在高危人群中。
Objective: To conduct a nationwide assessment of child nutrition administrative agencies' responses to meal service provision during coronavirus disease 2019-related school closures.Design: Systematic coding of government websites (February-May 2020) regarding school meal provision in all 50 US states and the District of Columbia, 5 US territories, and the US Department of Interior Bureau of Indian Education.Participants: All US jurisdictions (N = 57).Variables Measured: Seven coding criteria were established to assess the strengths and weaknesses of jur isdictions' responses derived from emergency declarations, school closure announcements, and government websites on emergency school meals.Analysis: Descriptive analyses.Results: Most jurisdictions mentioned school meal provisions in school closure announcements (76.4%), provided easily interpretable information and/or maps about meal sites (57.9%), and included detailed information about school meal provisions in their coronavirus disease 2019 landing webpages (n = 26, 51%). Fewer provided updated and comprehensive implementation guidance (39.3%), referenced school closures in emergency declarations (37.5%), had clear communication/outreach to families (21.4%), or partnered with antihunger organizations (11.6%).Conclusions and Implications: Understanding initial jurisdictions' approaches are critical to current and future emergency planning during school closures and reopening to help address food insecurity better, limit disease transmission, and prevent health disparities, particularly among at-risk populations.
