TL;DR: In this paper, a randomized school-based trial sought to increase fruit and vegetable consumption among children using a multicomponent approach, which consisted of behavioral curricula in classrooms, parental involvement, school food service changes, and industry support and involvement.

TL;DR: The outcomes suggest that multicomponent interventions are more powerful than cafeteria programs alone with this age group and that verbal encouragement by food-service staff was associated with outcomes.

TL;DR: These projects are implementing and evaluating community-based programs designed to increase fruit and vegetable consumption among different segments of the population in Alabama, Arizona, Georgia, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, North Carolina, and Washington.

TL;DR: Results showed high levels of participation, dose, and fidelity for all of the intervention components, with the exception of parental involvement, which helps explain why the increase in fruit and vegetable consumption occurred mostly at school lunch and not at home.
