Abstract | Background: Canadian Aboriginal youth have poorer diet quality and higher rates of overweight and obesity than the general population. This research aimed to assess the impact of simple food provision programs on the intakes of milk and alternatives among youth in Kashechewan and Attawapiskat First Nations (FNs), Ontario, Canada. Methods: A pilot school snack program was initiated in Kashechewan in May 2009 including coordinator training and grant writing support. A supplementary milk and alternatives program was initiated in Attawapiskat in February 2010. Changes in dietary intake were assessed using Web-based 24-hour dietary recalls in grade 6 to 8 students, pre- and 1-week post-program, with a 1-year follow-up in Kashechewan. Student impressions were collected after 1?week using open-ended questions in the Web survey. Teacher and administrator impressions were collected via focus groups after 1?year in Kashechewan. Results: After 1?week, calcium intake increased in Kashechewan (805.9?plus or minus ?552.0 to 1027.6?plus or minus ?603.7?mg, p?= 0.044); however, improvements were not sustained at 1?year; milk and alternatives (1.7?plus or minus?1.7 servings to 2.1?plus or minus?1.4 servings, p?=?0.034) and vitamin D (2.5?plus or minus?2.6 to 3.5?plus or minus?3.4 micrograms, p?=?0.022) intakes increased in Attawapiskat. Impressions of the programs were positive, though limited resources, staff, facilities, and funding were barriers to sustaining the consistent snack provision of the 1-week pilot phase. Conclusion: These illustrations show the potential of snack programs to address the low intakes of milk and alternatives among youth in remote FNs. Community-level constraints must be addressed for sustained program benefits. (Contains 3 tables.) (As Provided). |
