Learning Objective #2:
Condensing and summarizing key findings & recommendations
As you review the highlighted key findings and recommendations, you will need to condense these in order to fit it into the template. See examples below on how to condense text for the infographics.
| Community Nutrition Report Card | Infographic |
|---|---|
| Key Findings | |
| Two schools met the benchmark of no marketing of unhealthy foods to children, while the third did not meet the benchmark of no marketing of unhealthy foods to children. | No marketing of unhealthy foods in two of three schools assessed |
| Two recreation facilities have food procurement contracts/agreements that specify 50% of foods procured are healthy, while the third and fourth recreation facilities did not meet the benchmark. | Half the recreation facilities have food procurement specifying 50% healthy foods |
| Recommendations | |
| Engage key stakeholders (i.e. teachers, school administration, nutrition coordinator, parents, students and coaches) to develop a plan to reduce the amount of unhealthy food available in schools. | Reduce % of unhealthy foods available |
| Continue to work with schools to identify strategies that will encourage students to remain on school grounds during breaks, and offer appealing healthy choices at school | Encourage students to have lunch at school by offering appealing, healthy options |
| Replace posters that market unhealthy foods in schools with healthy eating posters from Nutrition Resources and the Healthy Eating Starts Here website | Replace unhealthy posters with healthy ones |
| Continue to work with schools to identify strategies that will encourage students to remain on school grounds during breaks, and offer appealing healthy choices at school | Encourage students to have lunch at school by offering appealing, healthy options |
| Work with vendors to make Choose Least Often foods more expensive, in order to offset the lower cost of Choose Most Option foods (e.g. make water bottles cheaper than pop) | Work with vendors to ↑ cost of unhealthy foods and ↓ cost of healthy foods |
Enter in your key findings, policies and recommendations for each setting once they have been sufficiently summarized into point form. Ideally include areas to celebrate successes already occurring along with areas for improvement.
