Study Summary
Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) meals are an important influence on diets of children from low-income families enrolled in the CACFP and should meet children's nutrient needs while fostering healthy eating habits that enable them to maintain energy balance. Recent national data revealed that children consumed low intakes of foods that support healthy dietary patterns (whole grains, fruit and vegetables other than potatoes), but high intakes of low nutrient, energy dense foods. The 2011 USDA-commissioned Institute of Medicine (IOM) report for CACFP meals provided new recommendations that include new meal pattern requirements for the meals programs, aligning them with the U.S. Dietary Guidelines to ensure that the meals promote health and reduce inadequate and excessive intakes. The report recommended inclusion of more whole grains, fruit, vegetables, and meat/meat alternatives which will likely increase meal costs. Two of the IOM report recommendations call for research to better understand how the new meal requirements would change children's CACFP meal dietary intakes and food service costs. These are important questions, and answers are needed to inform policy and future technical and educational assistance needs. The overall objective of this project is to implement the IOM meal pattern requirements for CACFP meals in day homes and centers in Texas. The multidisciplinary team will focus on nutrition, economics, and provider outcomes. The specific aims are to assess the impact of the new meal pattern requirements on 1) Meal participation rates; 2) Provider food service costs (food, labor, total meals); and 3) Child dietary intake at CACFP homes and centers. It is hypothesized that, compared with control sites, intervention site children will select and consume healthier diets (more fruit, vegetables and whole grains) at school. A total of 32 day care sites will be recruited for the study. It is hypothesized that, compared with control sites, children at
