Developed by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, this brief summarizes results of the preliminary evidence on the implementation of local school wellness policies and presents data in three key areas: quality, evaluation and funding of the policies; nutrition standards and nutrition education requirements; and physical activity requirements.

While many of the published studies include school districts from across the nation, it is not clear that they accurately represent national data or trends. This brief will be updated as more evidence about the implementation and impact of these policies becomes available.
