24. Take Aways and Next Steps

25. Identified Areas for Student Improvement… • The high percentage of OST participants who: • watch seven or more hours of TV, • do not eat many fruits and vegetables, • have few “family meals”, and • do not eat breakfast • are areas for potential programming focus.

26. Next Administration For the federal grant, PFSCS proposed the following: • Within one year of beginning services, 90% of children participating in after-school will increase their knowledge and improve their attitudes around healthy eating habits as measured by the Healthy Habits Survey.

27. To Consider… • Survey Process • 1. Similar to the parent version, do changes need to be made to the survey and if so, what is the plan for moving forward? • 2. Keep track of number of surveys administered and administration process

28. To Consider… • Is there anything else that you would like analyzed from this data set? • Can we link parent and child surveys? • Are there other indicators of health and/or healthy habits that we would like to explore to move beyond self-reports? • To what extent do the HH-scores correlate with other indicators of health and well-being?
