Adolescents, who have been shown to be at nutritional risk, and having poor nutritional knowledge and sporadic eating habits, are in need of comprehensive, sequential nutrition education. The purpose of this study was to develop, implement, and evaluate a nutrition education unit for inclusion in the health education curriculum of secondary schools. The two-week unit which included nutrient density concepts was evaluated in two high schools in Utah. Data from a mail survey of health educators (n=74) revealed their need for nutrition training and resources, and guidance for integrating nutrition into health classes. High school health teachers were provided with teacher training materials, lesson plans and instructional aids. Four treatment groups (n=92) were exposed to the nutrition unit and two control groups (n=45) received no nutrition information during the test period. All subjects were pre- and post-tested to determine change in knowledge of and attitude toward nutrition, and completed food frequency questionnaires for purposes of measuring behavioral changes. The treatment groups improved their nutrition test scores by 12 percentage points from pre- to post-test. Students were shown to reliably mark semantic differential scales measuring attitude. Overall attitude toward nutrition improved slightly. The nutrient density concept was mastered by students and proven to be an effective nutrition education tool. Post-food frequency data showed a consistent trend of decreased frequency of almost all food categories for controls as well as treatment groups, illustrating the importance of control groups in nutrition education studies. Participating health teachers positively evaluated the unit and indicated that their nutrition training and resource needs were sufficiently met.

The childhood obesity epidemic and related health consequences are urgent public health problems. Approximately one-third of America's young people are overweight or obese. Health problems once seen overwhelmingly in adults, such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and hypertension, are increasingly appearing in youth. Though the health of Americans has improved in many broad areas for decades, increases in obesity could erode these and future improvements. The IOM report Accelerating Progress in Obesity Prevention: Solving the Weight of the Nation recognized the importance of the school environment in addressing the epidemic and recommended making schools a focal point for obesity prevention. The development and implementation of K-12 nutrition benchmarks, guides, or standards (for a discussion of these terms, see the next section of this chapter) would constitute a critical step in achieving this recommendation. National nutrition education curriculum standards could have a variety of benefits, including the following: Improving the consistency and effectiveness of nutrition education in schools; Preparing and training teachers and other education staff to help them provide effective nutrition education; Assisting colleges and universities in the development of courses in nutrition as part of teacher certification and in updating methods courses on how to integrate nutrition education in subject-matter areas in the classroom and in materials; and Establishing a framework for future collaborative efforts and partnerships to improve nutrition education. Nutrition Education in the K-12 Curriculum: The Role of National Standards is a summary of the workshop's presentations and discussions prepared from the workshop transcript and slides. This summary presents recommendations made by individual speakers.

The weight-normative approach posits that weight is a primary determinant of health, that it is an individual-level problem to be managed and that weight loss improves health outcomes. This paradigm contributes to several negative outcomes including weight cycling, weight bias and stigma, the development of disordered eating behaviors, and weight-based bullying. Not only is weight-based bullying the most common form of bullying worldwide, but rates of eating disorders have increased significantly in youth in the United States and globally in the past few years. Weight-inclusive approaches, on the other hand, suggest that anyone can be healthy at any size and that it is health behaviors, such as exercising and eating a healthy diet, that are the underlying contributors to health and longevity, rather than weight. Weight-inclusive approaches have demonstrated success in improving body acceptance, decreasing dieting behaviors and anti-fat attitudes, improving overall health outcomes, and may decrease weight-based bullying. Teaching about nutrition is a crucial component of high school health education, with the potential to shape student's perceptions about nutrition, weight, and bodies and improve health outcomes. However, as a primary organizational context for health promotion activities, schools in the US may be inadvertently contributing to negative outcomes through an emphasis on programming focused on weight as a determinant of health as opposed to health behaviors like nutrition and physical activity. This dissertation, rooted in critical obesity studies and a social-ecological framework, presents two papers. Through interviews with eight high school health teachers and ten key stakeholders, an exploratory case study methodology allowed for a comprehensive understanding of nutrition education in Vermont high schools. Documents, including policies, available curriculum, and materials such as agency webpages and sources consulted by teachers, provided additional data. The first paper explores whether high school nutrition in Vermont is being taught through a lens that is consistent with the principles of weight-normativity or weight-inclusivity as well as teacher-perceived factors that influence curricular decision-making. The second paper investigates the perspectives of key stakeholders at multiple ecological levels that have high interest in and the potential to influence nutrition education in Vermont. Little is currently known about the paradigm through which nutrition is taught in high schools in Vermont, or the factors that influence curricular content or implementation, and this work serves to fill this gap. Findings from this study indicate that weight-normative activities and values dominate nutrition curriculum in Vermont high schools. Multiple levels, including within-school peers and state policies, exert influence on teacher curricular decisions. Guidance around nutrition curriculum content is not only lacking but necessary, and state-level policy is crucial to the valuing and implementation of consistent curricula. Findings from this study confirm a need for the development and implementation of a weight-inclusive nutrition curriculum for high schools, professional development for health teachers, and policy-level interventions, as potential strategies to improve health outcomes, prevent the adoption of disordered eating behaviors, and decrease weight-based bullying.
