方法：2006年，超过2900人参加了在线调查、焦点小组和关键线人访谈。学校董事会成员代表了全国1296个学区。结果：在所有调查小组中，学校董事会成员对他们的地区有能力制定、实施和监测/评估健康政策表示了最高水平的信心。在对地区监测/评估政策能力的看法方面，各群体之间的差异最为显著。学校董事会成员对学校健康政策工具和培训感兴趣。结论：州学校董事会协会、州公共健康营养总监和学校健康倡导者有机会建立自己的能力，向地区提供关于健康问题的培训和资源，特别是体育/活动、校本健康倡议以及实施和监测/评估健康政策的战略。
METHODS: In 2006, over 2900 individuals participated in online surveys, focus groups, and key informant interviews. School board members represented 1296 school districts across the nation.RESULTS: School board members expressed the highest level of confidence among all survey groups that their district has the capacity to develop, implement, and monitor/ evaluate the wellness policy. The disparities among groups are most notable with regard to perceptions of district capacity to monitor/evaluate the policy. School board members are interested in school wellness policy tools and trainings.CONCLUSIONS: There is an opportunity for state school boards associations, state public health nutrition directors, and school wellness advocates to build their own capacity to provide training and resources to districts on wellness issues, particularly physical education/activity, school-based wellness initiatives, and strategies for implementing and monitoring/evaluating wellness policies.
