TL;DR
FJV consumption during school lunch is low and school foodservice staff should identify FJV items that middle school students prefer and increase availability of those items in middle school cafeterias and snack bars.

3,250 Citations1992Gladys Block, Blossom H. Patterson +1 more
It would appear that major public health benefits could be achieved by substantially increasing consumption of fruit and vegetable consumption, and in particular in cancers of the esophagus, oral cavity, and larynx, for which 28 of 29 studies were significant.

The evidence for a protective effect of greater vegetable and fruit consumption is consistent for cancers of the stomach, esophagus, lung, oral cavity and pharynx, endometrium, pancreas, and colon, and the types of vegetables or fruit that most often appear to be protective against cancer are raw vegetables.

362 Citations1998Marsha Davis Hearn, Tom Baranowski +5 more
Baseline data from two school nutrition education projects were used to examine relationships between availability/accessibility and consumption of fruits and vegetables and it was hypothesized that greater availability and accessibility would lead to more consumption.

A theory-based school nutrition education program can help change children’s FJV consumption and impact factors at home that predispose to FJV consume, but changes were small, and their persistence is unknown.

258 Citations1997Ken Resnicow, Marsha Davis-Hearn +3 more
Limitations in the conceptualization, scope, and measurement of the variables assessed may have contributed to the weak associations observed and models incorporating factors other than individual-level social-cognitive variables may be required to more fully explain children's dietary behavior.

This study suggests that tracking of nutrient intake begins as young as 3-4 years of age, and that extreme misclassification was rare.

The revised questionnaire provides a reliable, valid, and simple tool for assessing fruit and vegetable preferences of 4th- and 5th-grade students, and the relationship between these preferences and actual consumption is weak; however, making fruits and vegetables more available may enhance preferences.

24-h dietary recall data are used to assess the dietary effects of participation in the National School Lunch Program and the School Breakfast Program and find that NSLP participation is associated with higher lunch intakes of vitamin A, calcium, and magnesium, and a lower intake of vitamin C.

110 Citations1999Kim D. Reynolds, Tom Baranowski +5 more
Girls ate more fruit, more vegetables and more fruit and vegetables combined than boys at the Georgia site, and gender was related to fruit and vegetable consumption, with girls consuming more servings than boys; however, this was observed at one site only, Georgia.

Dietary change programs should target parents to increase F&V consumption at dinner, and target students for the meals over which they assert the most control: breakfast and snacks.

103 Citations1994S.B. Domel, Tom Baranowski +4 more
Students were reasonably accurate in keeping records and more accurate with the more labor-intensive approach, but researchers need to select an approach based on the degree of accuracy desired and available finances.

100 Citations1998Ken Resnicow, Matt Smith +4 more
It may be difficult for nutrition education programs targeting this age group to demonstrate long-term behavioral effects on fruit and vegetable intake because of the drift in ranking, which may have been a result of true changes in fruit and vegetables intake or measurement error.
