Descripción
This research examines whether environmentally based intervention strategies increase
elementary students’ selection of white milk. At intervention school one, white milk was easily
accessible, but students had to ask for chocolate milk. As an outcome, students increased their
selection of white milk compared to control school students (p≤0.001). At intervention school
two, the visual cue of a threefold greater quantity of white compared to chocolate milk did not
significantly alter selection patterns. This research indicates that requiring students to ask for an
item rather than self-serve can help modify food selections and serve as a tool for obesity
prevention.
