Previously we have shown that our Healthy Eating Decisions school-based intervention can influence students’ selections of the healthiest foods available in their elementary school cafeterias through positive reinforcement techniques. Although effective, we recognized that students were missing fundamental nutrition knowledge necessary to understand why the Healthy Eating Decisions program identified particular beverages and foods as the healthiest in the cafeteria. Therefore, we developed the Boss’ Healthy Buddies nutrition education resource as a freely available curriculum matched with South Carolina education standards and designed for elementary school students from kindergarten through fourth grade. The current study implemented Boss’ Healthy Buddies and compared its efficacy to a commercially available nutrition program, CATCH. Elementary school students in Spartanburg, South Carolina, received weekly twenty-minute Boss’ Healthy Buddies lessons for eight weeks. Results from preassessment and postassessment surveys were compared with a positive control elementary school using the CATCH program and a negative control school receiving no nutrition education. Results show that Boss’ Healthy Buddies was equally effective as the CATCH program in improving the nutrition attitudes regarding healthiest beverages and food selections with the advantage of being freely available and minimizing the impact on classroom instruction time. In order to reduce most effectively the high prevalence of childhood overweight and obesity, it is crucial that children are taught nutrition education to support healthy eating habits at an early age. Both the Healthy Eating Decisions school-based intervention and the Boss’ Healthy Buddies nutrition education program are available online for use as free resources to aid in reducing childhood overweight and obesity within elementary schools.

COVID-19 is currently a major health problem worldwide. Indonesia is one of the countries affected and is in the 21st position with the most positive cases of Covid in the world. Children who are exposed to the Covid-19 virus usually only cause mild symptoms or even cause no symptoms. This makes children a source of spreading the virus without realizing it. Therefore, education on how to prevent the transmission of Covid-19 (Clean and Healthy Living Behavior) is important to prevent children from being exposed to the Covid-19 virus and becoming a source of infection without realizing it. To determine the effect of comic education and leaflets on increasing the knowledge of parents of elementary school students about PHBS for preventing the transmission of the Covid-19 virus. This study used a quasy experimental design with a desaign pre-post test group design involving 68 parents of grade V students who were selected by cluster random sampling. Knowledge data collection is carried out online. There were differences in respondents' knowledge of the effect of comics education media use (p = 0,) and leaflets (p = 0,). There is an effect of nutrition education through comics and leaflets on knowledge about Clean and Healthy Living Behaviors in parents of elementary school students as an effort to prevent the transmission of the Covid-19 virus. ABSTRAK COVID-19 saat ini menjadi masalah kesehatan paling utama di seluruh dunia. Indonesia menjadi salah satu negara yang terdampak dan menduduki posisi ke-21 dengan kasus positif Covid terbanyak di dunia. Anak yang terpapar virus Covid-19 biasanya hanya menimbulkan gejala ringan atau bahkan tidak menimbulkan gejala. Hal ini membuat anak menjadi sumber penyebaran virus tanpa disadari. Oleh sebab itu, edukasi mengenai cara pencegahan penularan Covid-19 (Perilaku Hidup Bersih dan Sehat) penting dilakukan untuk mencegah anak terpapar virus Covid-19 dan menjadi sumber penularan tanpa disadari. Mengetahui efektivitas edukasi komik dan leaflet terhadap peningkatan pengetahuan orangtua siswa sekolah dasar mengenai PHBS untuk pencegahan penularan virus Covid-19. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain quasy experimental dengan rancangan pre-post test group desaign dengan melibatkan 68 orangtua siswa kelas V yang dipilih dengan cluster random sampling. Pengambilan data pengetahuan dilakukan secara daring. Ada perbedaan pengetahuan responden terhadap efektivitas penggunaan media edukasi komik (p=0,) dan leaflet (p=0,). Media komik dan leaflet dapat meningkatkan pengetahuan mengenai Perilaku Hidup Bersih dan Sehat pada orangtua siswa sekolah dasar sebagai upaya pencegahan penularan virus Covid-19. Media leaflet dianggap lebih efektif karena peningkatan rata-rata skornya lebih besar daripada kelompok media komik.

Factors Affecting

This study used system dynamics method to investigate the factors affecting elementary school students’ BMI values. The construction of the dynamic model is divided into the qualitative causal loop and the quantitative system dynamics modeling. According to the system dynamics modeling, this study consisted of research on the four dimensions: student’s personal life style, diet-relevant parenting behaviors, advocacy and implementation of school nutrition education, and students’ peer interaction. The results of this study showed that students with more adequate health concepts usually have better eating behaviors and consequently have less chance of becoming obese. In addition, this study also verified that educational attainment and socioeconomic status of parents have a positive correlation with students’ amounts of physical activity, and nutrition education has a prominent influence on changing students’ high-calorie diets.
