“…Preschool participants completed a previously validated pictorial liking tool ( 17 ) using an iPad (Apple Inc., Cupertino, CA, USA). Use of a pictorial liking tool is a valid form of self‐reported FV liking among preschool students ( 17 ) , and is preferred in this age group because parental recall of FV liking is considered to be unreliable in the preschool‐based setting ( 20 ) . The tool featured 15 coluor photographs of a variety of foods, 12 of which were FV (i.e.…”

Background Reflection spectroscopy is an emerging, non‐invasive objective measure used to approximate fruit and vegetable intake. The present study aimed to use a reflection spectroscopy device (the Veggie Meter®, Longevity Link Corporation, Salt Lake City, UT, USA) to assess skin carotenoid status in preschool, middle‐ and high‐school students and to examine associations between skin carotenoids and self‐reported dietary intake. Methods In Autumn 2018, we used the Veggie Meter® to assess skin carotenoids and age‐appropriate validated dietary assessment measures to approximate fruit and vegetable (FV) intake. Preschool participants completed a previously validated pictorial liking tool using an iPad (Apple Inc., Cupertino, CA, USA). Middle‐school participants completed selected questions from the validated School Physical Activity and Nutrition (SPAN) (Michael & Susan Dell Center for Healthy Living, University of Texas, Austin, TX, USA) questionnaire regarding frequency of their FV and beverage intake on the previous day, with additional questions about physical activity. High‐school participants’ FV intake was assessed using the Fruit and Vegetable Screener (National Cancer Institute, Bethesda, MD, USA). Spearman correlation coefficients were used to determine bivariate associations between measures of dietary intake and Veggie Meter®‐assessed skin carotenoid levels. Results Mean (SD) Veggie Meter® readings were 266 (82.9), 219 (68.1) and 216 (67.2) among preschool, middle‐ and high‐school students. There was an inverse association between soda intake and Veggie Meter® readings (r = −0.22, P = 0.03) among middle‐school students; and a positive association between daily fruit intake and Veggie Meter® readings (r = 0.25, P = 0.06) among high‐school students. Conclusions The Veggie Meter® comprises a promising evaluation tool for preschool and school‐based nutrition interventions.

“…This may have affected parent-child agreement analysis, as research indicates parents have mixed accuracy as proxy reporters for their children (e.g. Birnie et al, 2020; Stage et al, 2019). Additionally, caregiver/minor pairs often gave different reasons for their selections in short-answer elaborations.…”

Mission-driven nonprofit organizations sometimes struggle within a cycle of disempowerment resulting from oversaturation of data collection that is reactive to funder demands. In this article, we problematize Community Music School (CMS) data-collection and analysis efforts and discuss alternate approaches to learning about family and community desires and building community engagement. We first review literature on CMS goals, CMS engagement with communities, and the importance of student voice in educational research. Then, we briefly describe secondary analysis of a data subset from a previous study as context for critical discussion. Finally, drawing on literature from communications, urban planning, and school-family engagement, we make broader suggestions for how CMS can transform data collection practices into pathways for community engagement. We assert data quality and usefulness may improve when institutions seek input from community members who have not elected to participate and when CMS involve stakeholders in program design, goal setting, and measurement schemes from the outset. To that end, we describe three frameworks that could help CMS improve community engagement and make suggestions for future research.
