The aim of this study examines associations between
child daily FV intake and location of eating occasion
(school vs nonschool) in a sample of ethnically
diverse, low socioeconomic status, fourth to sixth
grade students. The following research questions were
addressed in this study: (1) What is the total daily FV
intake in this population; (2) What proportion of the
daily FV intake is consumed at school; (3) Does FV
intake differ by gender, race, age, or weight status?;
and (4) What role do school meals play in contributing
to FV intake among those with the lowest FV intake?
