integrating nutrition into the education sector in low and middle income countries a framework for a win win collaboration
Maternal and Child Nutrition, 2021Co-Authors: Talata Sawadogolewis, Shannon King, Arlene Mitchell, Timothy RobertonAbstract:Malnutrition-both undernutrition and overnutrition-is a public Health concern worldwide and particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). The education sector has high potential to improve immediate nutrition outcomes by providing food in Schools and to have more long-term impact through education. We developed a conceptual framework to show how the education sector can be leveraged for nutrition. We reviewed the literature to identify existing frameworks outlining how nutrition programs can be delivered by and through the education sector and used these to build a comprehensive framework. We first organized nutrition programs in the education sector into (1) School food, meals, and food environment; (2) nutrition and Health education; (3) physical activity and education; (4) School Health Services; and (5) water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) sector. We then discuss how each one can be successfully implemented. We found high potential in improving nutrition standards and quality of School foods, meals and food environment, especially through collaboration with the agriculture sector. There is a need for well-integrated, culturally appropriate nutrition and Health education into the existing School curriculum. This must be supported by a skilled workforce-including nutrition and public Health professionals and School staff. Parental and community engagement is cornerstone for program sustainability and success. Current monitoring and evaluation of nutrition programming in Schools is weak, and effectiveness, including cost-effectiveness, of interventions is not yet adequately quantified. Finally, we note that opportunities for leveraging the education sector in the fight against rising overweight and obesity rates are under-researched and likely underutilized in LMICs.

increasing the delivery of preventive Health Services in public education
American Journal of Preventive Medicine, 2016Co-Authors: Gracelyn Cruden, Kelly J Kelleher, Sheppard Kellam, Hendricks C BrownAbstract:The delivery of prevention Services to children and adolescents through traditional Healthcare settings is challenging for a variety of reasons. Parent- and community-focused Services are typically not reimbursable in traditional medical settings, and personal Healthcare Services are often designed for acute and chronic medical treatment rather than prevention. To provide preventive Services in a setting that reaches the widest population, those interested in public Health and prevention often turn to School settings. This paper proposes that an equitable, efficient manner in which to promote Health across the life course is to integrate efforts from public Health, primary care, and public education through the delivery of preventive Healthcare Services, in particular, in the education system. Such an integration of systems will require a concerted effort on the part of various stakeholders, as well as a shared vision to promote child Health via community and institutional stakeholder partnerships. This paper includes (1) examination of some key system features necessary for delivery of preventive Services that improve child outcomes; (2) a review of the features of some common models of School Health Services for their relevance to prevention Services; and (3) policy and implementation strategy recommendations to further the delivery of preventive Services in Schools. These recommendations include the development of common metrics for Health outcomes reporting, facilitated data sharing of these metrics, shared organization incentives for integration, and improved reimbursement and funding opportunities.

physical education teachers and public Health nurses perception of norwegian high School students participation in physical education a focus group study
BMC Public Health, 2015Co-Authors: Eirik Abildsnes, Tonje Holte Stea, Sveinung Berntsen, Christina Sandvand Omfjord, Gudrunelin RohdeAbstract:High quality physical education programs in high Schools may facilitate adoption of sustainable Healthy living among adolescents. Public Health nurses often meet students who avoid taking part in physical education programs. We aimed to explore physical education teachers’ and public Health nurses’ perceptions of high School students’ attitudes towards physical education, and to explore physical education teachers’ thoughts about how to facilitate and promote students’ participation in class. Prior to an initiative from physical education teachers, introducing a new physical education model in two high Schools in the South of Norway, we conducted focus groups with 6 physical education teachers and 8 public Health nurses. After implementation of the new model, we conducted two additional focus group interviews with 10 physical education teachers. In analyses we used Systematic Text Condensation and an editing analysis style. In general, the students were experienced as engaged and appreciating physical education lessons. Those who seldom attended often strived with other subjects in School as well, had mental Health problems, or were characterized as outsiders in several arenas. Some students were reported to be reluctant to expose their bodies in showers after class, and students who seldom attended physical education class frequently visited the School Health Services. Although the majority of students were engaged in class, several of the students lacked knowledge about physical fitness and motoric skills to be able to master daily activities. The participants related the students’ competence and attitude towards participation in physical education class to previous experiences in junior high School, to the competence of physical education teachers, and to possibility for students to influence the content of physical education programs. The participants suggested that high School students’ attitudes towards participation in physical education is heterogeneous, depends on the students’ previous experiences, and on their present Health and quality of life. All participants recommended adolescents to take part in program development, and selecting activities that generate competence, fun and enjoyment.
