The impact of 1 year of healthier school food policies on students' diets during and outside of the school day.
In 2012, Massachusetts implemented both the updated national school meal standards and comprehensive competitive food/beverage standards that closely align with current national requirements for school snacks. This study examines the impact of these combined standards on school meal and snack food selections, as well as food choices outside of school. The investigators concluded that with the reduction in the number of unhealthy school snacks, significantly more students selected school meals. Students did not compensate for lack of unhealthy snacks in school by increased consumption of unhealthy snacks outside of school.

Barriers and facilitators to asthma care after hospitalization as reported by caregivers, health providers, and school nurses.
This study focused on developing a comprehensive understanding of asthma care after hospitalization of children as reported by caregivers, health providers, and school nurses. The children had a median age of 7 years, mean hospital length of stay of 1.9 days, and 56% had a previous hospitalization in the last 12 months. Family caregivers and health professionals were given individual interviews while focus groups were conducted with school nurses. There were different health beliefs about asthma knowledge between caregivers and health professionals. School nurses highlighted specific barriers that focused on medication use in schools.

Implementing a coach-delivered dating violence prevention program with high school athletes.
This paper describes the implementation of a coach-delivered dating violence prevention program with high school athletes. The program, Coaching Boys Into Men (CBIM), is an evidence-based, athletic coach-delivered dating violence prevention program that has been shown to increase positive bystander behaviors and reduce abuse perpetration among high school male athletes.

School-located influenza vaccinations for adolescents: a randomized controlled trial.
In this study, the investigators aimed to evaluate the effect of school-located influenza vaccination (SLIV) on adolescents' influenza vaccination rates. In 2015-2016, they performed a cluster-randomized trial of adolescent SLIV in middle/high schools. They concluded that SLIV in this community increased influenza vaccination rates among adolescents attending suburban schools.

Identification and assessment of childhood obesity by school-based health center providers.
The authors evaluated obesity care assessment practices of school-based health center (SBHC) providers prior to completing training on obesity guidelines. They found that most providers reported using BMI to assess weight, reported screening for hypertension 100% of the time and cardiovascular disease 93.9% of the time, and approximately two thirds reported requesting total cholesterol and lipid profile laboratory assessments.

School-based health center providers' treatment of overweight children.
The purpose of this study was to determine self-reported treatment practices of school-based health center (SBHC) providers when caring for overweight/obese children. SBHC providers reported patient/parent barriers to be more significant to treatment than clinician/setting barriers. Most providers (97%) indicated childhood overweight needs treatment, yet only 36% indicated that they initiate treatment in children who do not want to control their weight. SBHC providers also did not commonly refer these children to specialists.
