With regard to the food and physical activity offered at secondary schools, improvements can be made that can contribute to the reduction of overweight among the youth. This was shown in the first national survey on the prevention of overweight at Dutch secondary schools. The survey cited canteens and/or soda vending machines in almost 90% of the schools, and candy dispensers in 77%. More than half the schools described the food assortment as being primarily rich in calories. In most cases the school board can influence the food supplied to the schools: 60% have an influence on food supplied in machines and 80% have an influence on what is offered in canteens. Only one-quarter of the locations expected a positive change in the following six months. The school environment can also be important: 75% of schools are located near a supermarket, snack bar or petrol station. Pupils at about half the schools have access to these food facilities, since they are allowed to leave the schoolyard during school hours. In the lower classes most schools offer 3-4 hours a week of physical education, but 25% of the capacity of the sport facilities is considered as being insufficient. The schoolyard itself offers possibilities for physical activity: pupils can walk in or around the schoolyard at 80% of the schools and 40% of the schools offer additional sport facilities on the schoolyard. Traffic circumstances around the school are considered to be average to very safe at 90% of the schools. There is still a lot of improvement possible. Only one-third of the schools focuses on overweight prevention outside the curriculum and 13% have specific guidelines for screening and follow-up monitoring of overweight pupils. Most schools expect to pay more attention to overweight prevention in the near future. Since prevalence of overweight among Dutch teenagers will probably rise further, RIVM recommends that schools put these good intentions into practice.

- Abstract
RIVM rapport:Het Centrum Gezond Leven heeft in 2008 verschillende lokale professionals (GGD, thuiszorg, GGZ en gemeente) gevraagd naar het gebruik, de ervaringen en wensen betreffende gezondheidsbevorderende interventies en methoden. De gezondheidsthema's die als belangrijk worden ervaren door de lokale professionals worden in de praktijk niet altijd aangepakt. Mogelijk omdat het landelijke aanbod op het gebied van bijvoorbeeld sociaaleconomische verschillen of 'kwetsbare groepen' (lager opgeleiden, ouderen, allochtonen) niet voldoende is, of omdat het wettelijk gezien geen speerpunten zijn. De meeste interventies die worden aangeboden vallen onder de thema's van de landelijke speerpunten en het thema seksualiteit en relaties. Lokale organisaties geven de voorkeur aan het gebruik van bestaande interventies en bijbehorende producten. Echter, lokale organisaties hebben moeite met de toepasbaarheid van deze producten, aangegeven wordt dat het aanbod niet volledig past op de specifieke lokale situatie. Er is behoefte aan informatie op een centrale plek: een plek waar informatie over beschikbare interventies en de certificering van deze interventies beschikbaar is. Daarnaast is het ook wenselijk dat de handleidingen 'lokaal gezondheidsbeleid' centraal aangeboden worden. Een effectieve en efficiente aanpak van gezondheidsbevordering vraagt om een goede afstemming tussen de verschillende landelijke en lokale partijen. Een goede communicatie en planning door de landelijke GBI's (Gezondheidsbevorderende Instituten) op het gebied van het ontwikkelen en aanbieden van producten (interventies, handleidingen) is een voorwaarde om efficientie te bevorderen. Daarnaast ervaren de GGD'en het als een groot struikelblok dat de landelijke GBI's lokale intermediairen, zoals scholen en gemeenten, rechtstreeks benaderen om hun producten te gebruiken. In de nabije toekomst zal het Centrum Gezond Leven lokale professionals verder betrekken bij de verheldering van de zaken die spelen in het lokale veld va, In 2008, the Dutch Centre for Healthy Living consulted health professionals working at local level for information on their use, experience and wishes regarding health promotion interventions and methods. The professionals were from the Local Health Services (GGD), the Basic Home Care Services, the Mental Health Service (GGZ) and local authorities. The various health themes considered important by professionals working at the local level are not always targeted through the applied interventions or policy. The reason for this may be due to an inadequate national provision of services addressing problems associated with social-economic differences or vulnerable groups (lowly educated, the elderly, foreigners) or because legislatively, these areas are not seen as policy spearheads. Most interventions offered fall within the category of the national priorities and the theme of sexuality and relationships. Local organisations have indicated that they prefer to use existing interventions and their accompanying products. In reality, however, local organisations find it difficult to use these products in real situations. The reason for this is that the supply is not always suited to the specific local circumstances. There is a need to collect all the information concerning the available interventions (including certification) centrally. It is also desirable to have local health policy guidelines available in the same way. An effective and efficient approach to health promotion requires good mutual agreements between the various national and local parties. Good communication and planning on the part of the national Health Promotion Institutes are an important condition to promote efficiency in the development and provision of products such as interventions and guidelines. In addition, the fact that national Health Promotion Institutes directly approach local intermediaries such as schools and local authorities on the use of their products, has been experienced as a great stu

Dit blijkt uit de eerste landelijke enquete naar de preventie van overgewicht op middelbare schoollocaties in Nederland. Bijna 90 % van de schoollocaties heeft een kantine en/of frisdrankautomaat en 77 % heeft een snoepautomaat. Ruim de helft omschrijft het aanbod van producten op school als overwegend calorierijk. In veel gevallen kan de directie het aanbod beinvloeden: 60 % kan de samenstelling van de automaten aanpassen en 80% heeft invloed op het kantineaanbod. Slechts een kwart verwacht echter een verandering van het aanbod in het komende half jaar. Ook de omgeving van de school is van belang. Driekwart van de schoollocaties bevindt zich op minder dan 1 km afstand van een supermarkt, snackbar of tankstation. Op ongeveer de helft van de schoollocaties hebben leerlingen toegang tot deze voorzieningen omdat ze in tussenuren en pauzes het schoolterrein mogen verlaten. Op de meeste schoollocaties wordt in de onderbouw 3 tot 4 uur lichamelijke opvoeding per week gegeven. De capaciteit van de sportzalen wordt door 25% als onvoldoende ervaren. Het schoolterrein zelf biedt vaak mogelijkheden om te bewegen. Op 80% van de schoollocaties kunnen jongeren op of rondom het terrein wandelen en 40% van de schoollocaties biedt extra sportfaciliteiten op het schoolterrein. De verkeersveiligheid in de buurt van de school wordt door 90% als gemiddeld tot zeer veilig beoordeeld. Er is nog veel verbetering mogelijk. Slechts eenderde van de schoollocaties geeft buiten het reguliere onderwijs aandacht aan het thema overgewicht. Op 13% van de schoollocaties zijn er richtlijnen voor signalering, advisering en hulpverlening voor kinderen met overgewicht. De meeste schoollocaties verwachten in de toekomst meer aandacht te geven aan overgewicht. Gezien de verwachte toename van overgewicht onder jongeren in Nederland adviseert RIVM dat scholen

- Abstract
Aims: The aim of this pilot study was to investigate the feasibility and effectiveness of placing water coolers on sugar-sweetened beverage sales at secondary schools (age 12-18 years) in the city of Zwolle, the Netherlands., Methods: Six schools, hosting 5,866 pupils, were divided in three intervention and three control schools. In the intervention schools, water coolers were placed in the canteen. Hidden observations were performed in one school to study the intervention's feasibility, and school personnel was interviewed. Beverage sales were monitored before and during the intervention. After the intervention period, 366 class 1 and 2 pupils completed a questionnaire about their drinking habits (response rate 81%)., Results: Placement of water coolers appeared to be a feasible intervention at secondary schools. However, it did not affect sales of sugar-sweetened beverages at schools. Although mean intake of sugar-sweetened beverages at school was high, more than 500 ml/day for boys, and more than 250 ml/day for girls, only a minority of these quantities was purchased at school., Conclusion: We conclude that placing water coolers as a single-issue intervention in secondary school canteens should not be prioritized in the combat against obesity., (Copyright 2010 S.
