Nutrition program for the elderly: participants' perception of food quality by type of food service system.

A survey of 1028 clients who participated in 21 nutrition sites for the elderly funded by the Suburban Cook County Area Agency on Aging in Chicago, Illinois revealed that participants who received meals prepared on-site were more satisfied with the quality of the meals than participants who received meals that were satellited as hot bulk food or as preplated cook/freeze meals. Participants who judged the meals as fair or poor were more likely than those who rated the food as excellent or good to respond that they would increase their donation if the food were improved. Data from a national survey used as a standard for judging participant satisfaction of food service are presented in this article.

The National Evaluation of School Nutrition Programs: factors affecting student participation.

Results of the analysis of individual student participation data for the School Breakfast and Lunch Programs are described. The availability of the programs and participation rates for various subgroups of students are estimated. Multiple regression analysis (ordinary least squares) is also used to determine the effects of various factors on participation. For both the Lunch and Breakfast Programs meal price is the single most important predictor of participation. Using the results from the participation analyses, estimates are obtained of the effects that changes in eligibility criteria for free and reduced price meals would have on eligibility, approved meal price status, and participation for the total population and for selected subgroups of students. The effect on federal reimbursements for the programs is also estimated.

Exploratory analysis of children's nutrition programs in Canada.

This survey examined the processes by which programs feeding hungry children in Canada are initiated, implemented and sustained. The responses of 32 operators of these programs were obtained by semi-structured telephone interviews and were analysed using qualitative research methods. Concerned citizens within the community and teachers were the major proponents for programs; their primary indicators of need were children's hunger-related behaviours. Programs generally provided the breakfast or lunch meal, were overseen by a board, and were operated by a mix of paid and volunteer staff. A lack of resources, problems with parents and the community, and managerial stresses were the main perceived barriers to program continuance. Programs run by communities generally had more need for resources, expressed lower confidence in their sustainability, and were less likely to cooperate with other groups than school-run programs. While some programs deliberately tried to avoid stigmatization, program operators did hold some prejudicial views about the communities they served and few programs could be considered empowering to users.
