MOST CITED: #Healthliteracy has been well-studied in adults; however, the literature on health literacy in children and adolescents has only recently burgeoned. #openaccess

@ActiveRoberts What??? Assistant Professor? Seriously???? I’m furious and I’m sorry. I admire your science so much and always learn a lot from you. Glad you called out this absurd racism and demand that we do better!
Timely FRAC report today that 1.4 million new children participated in school lunch while meals were universally free. BILLIONS more nutritious and consistent meals were accessed. The solution is right in front of us! #SchoolMealsforAllNC
According to FRAC's new report, during the 2021–2022 school year, just over 15.5 million children ate #schoolbreakfast every school day. #SchoolMeals4All and #BreakfastAfterTheBell can help us serve even more students this year! #NSBW23 https://t.co/YdaWaBFNIW

Grateful to @nokidhungry and the research team. There's more to do, but we're already informing policy and practice change!
If you're reading this, please share with relevant networks to ensure that implementation evidence makes it into rooms where policy decisions are made.
Pleased to share the first of 3 reports from a study conducted by a national collaborative of nutrition scientists in partnership with @nokidhungry. Shoutout to @NOPRENnetwork and @HEResearch's Working Group for facilitating connections and bringing this group together!
As communities first mobilized in response to the pandemic, #HungerHeroes on the frontlines had to innovate, adapting #SchoolMeals programs to get kids and families the meals they needed.
Our newest report showcases key lessons learned during this time: https://t.co/k6JgsDhxyO
Stay tuned for 2 more reports from this study. We will share quantitative findings related to reach and accessibility of meal sites across 3 states, and expand on our qualitative findings with data collected in 2021-2022 with state agency reps and local directors across the US!
