摘要
This article reviews the history of the US Department of Agriculture School Breakfast Program (SEP) and provides a synthesis of factors influencing participation rates. Certain children are more likely to participate than others, such as those in lower grades and those from low-income households, and African American, Hispanic, and male students. A few studies in the past 15 y have examined the effectiveness of the SEP in improving the diets and nutritional status of children. The overall pattern that emerges from these studies is that the SEP contributes to improved nutrient intake in program participants. Less attention has been devoted to assessing the effects of SEP on cognitive development. Some of the evidence reviewed here suggests that the SEP significantly improves school performance and reduces absenteeism and tardiness. Future directions for research and operation of the SEP are discussed in light of the changing dietary profile of American children.
