摘要

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND In South Carolina (SC), 42% of youth are overweight or obese. Two sets of modifiable behaviors contributing to obesity are physical activity (PA) and dietary habits. School‐based interventions have successfully improved these behaviors. The purpose of this study was to identify SC public school personnel perspectives on the most common barriers and facilitators to regular PA and healthy eating behaviors in schools. METHODS A needs assessment survey was conducted with school personnel statewide. There were 17 questions on the survey that addressed: (1) demographic information about participants' educational backgrounds, (2) barriers to regular PA and healthy eating behaviors in schools, and (3) facilitators to regular PA and healthy eating behaviors in schools. Univariate and bivariate descriptive statistical analyses were performed using IBM SPSS Statistics 27. RESULTS Participants (N?=?1311) indicated insufficient time for regular PA (n?=?514, 39.2%) and limited access to healthy foods for healthy eating (n?=?271, 20.7%) as main barriers. The primary facilitators were support from administrators for regular PA (n?=?264, 20.1%) and support from cafeteria staff for healthy eating (n?=?234, 17.8%). Further analyses explored how factors compared based on roles in schools, academic levels, and school district classifications. CONCLUSIONS Results suggest that overarching barriers and facilitators to school‐based interventions addressing childhood obesity exist, so common strategies to mitigate challenges and maximize supports can be used in schools. Future studies are needed to examine how decreasing barriers and enhancing facilitators affect the implementation and outcomes of these school‐based interventions.
