School staff, including school nurses and food service staff, are frustrated by the pressure of handling these problems exclusively in the school; parents who want to exercise successful influence over their child's food choices are at a loss for answers. A pilot study of the SUCCESS AT HOME Program indicated that children made significant improvements in a number of health-related areas (weight, body-mass index, body circumference measures, flexibility) after nine months of using the program. Overall, parents were highly satisfied with the program and saw significant improvements in the physical health and psychological well-being of their children.</p>","PeriodicalId":80303,"journal":{"name":"School nurse news","volume":"25 2","pages":"22-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"27382538","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The process should be facilitated by collaboration between the pediatric and adult clinics. It should be guided by structured policies and guidelines, including posttransition evaluation.
