Abstract
A nutritional education program was carried
out during school year 1993-4 by the
child health services of a health authority in
Lombardia. An ad hoc committee was established
to analyse the dietary patterns of
school children inside and outside school
and to set up dietary guidelines. On this
basis, new diets were introduced in schools
including fruit for the mid-morning snack.
Nutritional education was given to families
through meetings and an educational
booklet. Practicing paediatricians were involved
in the implementation and the evaluation
of the program. The program was
shown to be feasible and acceptable by families
and schools. It was effective in changing
some inadequate dietary habits such
as the use of commercial snacks and to restrict
the use of special diets to cases with
particular nutritional needs.
