News Around the Nation

 

Science Daily

If you spend 30 minutes less on social media every day and engage in physical activity instead, you do a lot to improve your mental health, according to a new study published in the Journal of Public Health. Participants who followed this advice for two weeks felt happier, more satisfied, less stressed by the COVID-19 pandemic and less depressed than a control group. These effects lasted even six months after the study had ended.

 

K-12 Dive

Though pandemic-era universal school meal waivers expired June 30, the policy’s impact on the nation’s children is still being analyzed. Recently released data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Economic Research Service shows food insecurity rates among children across race and ethnicity dropped between 2020 and 2021 during the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

U.S. News & World Report

Food diaries are common nutrition assignments that pose a health risk to kids. It’s a pattern familiar to anyone who treats adolescents with eating disorders: a well-intended nutrition lesson triggers an unhealthy relationship with food that spirals into mental illness. Even students who will never go on to develop an eating disorder can be harmed when nutrition is reduced to a math equation with a side of body shame.

 

CDC

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is looking to identify local education agencies (LEAs) for their Comprehensive Health Educator Core Knowledge and Skills (C.H.E.C.K.S.) professional development study in order to develop and test a professional development package designed for secondary health educators. C.H.E.C.K.S. identifies essential knowledge and skills for delivering health education and uses a blended-learning, skill-based model to help teachers build their competencies in effective instruction. Interested LEAs can learn more by emailing .
