Use of an online canteen ordering system to implement healthy canteen policies in NSW primary schools [ 2016 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Dr Rebecca Wyse (Principal investigator)

Brief description Given evidence that school food policies can improve children’s dietary intake, Australian state governments have launched healthy canteen policies. However, these policies are poorly implemented. This research seeks to assess the effectiveness of an online classification tool in increasing policy compliance. The tool will be embedded in an online canteen system, and will automatically assess whether menu items are compliant as they are uploaded onto the online canteen system.
