Prevalence of and Differences in Salad Bar Implementation in Rural Versus Urban Arizona Schools

A Thesis submitted to The University of Arizona College of Medicine - Phoenix in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Medicine. / Purpose: To compare the prevalence of school-lunch salad bars in
Arizona and differences in implementation by rural vs. urban setting. Background•Individuals in rural settings are increasingly at risk for
health disparities and experience a disproportionate burden
of chronic conditions.
•Fruit and vegetable (F&V) is linked with lower risk for
chronic diseases like diabetes, heart disease, and obesity.
•Young people do not meet the recommended servings of
F&V.
•Salad bars are a recommended method to increase F&V
intake, however there is limited evidence of their
effectiveness.
No studies exist that examine implementation of salad
bars in urban versus rural environments.
