Regional survey supports national initiative for 'water-only' schools in New Zealand.

CONCLUSIONS: The survey elicited a range of views on 'water-only' policies for schools, but suggests that 'water-only' may be an emerging norm for schools. Implications for public health: Our survey shows how local assessment can support a national initiative by providing a baseline, identifying schools that want support, and sharing lessons. Making schools 'water-only' could be a first step in changing our children's environment to prevent obesity. PMID: 28749587 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
