Purpose: Vending machine and school store (VMSS) availability and low-nutrient, energy-dense snacks and beverages in VMSS were assessed in a statewide sample of Minnesota secondary schools before and after the 2004 Reauthorization Act was implemented in 2006/2007. Methods: The CDC School Health Profiles principal survey was collected from a representative sample of middle (n¼170) and high (n¼392) schools biennially from 2002 to 2010. Trends were estimated using general linear models with a logit link and linear spline modeling. Analyses were conducted in 2012. Results: Among high schools, VMSS (p¼0.001) and sugar-sweetened beverages (p¼0.004), high-fat salty snacks (p¼0.001), and candy (p¼0.001) in VMSS decreased from 2002 to 2008. In 2008, a change in slope direction from negative to positive occurred for all food practices and an increase in VMSS (p¼0.014) and sugar-sweetened beverages (p¼0.033) was seen. Among middle schools, VMSS (p¼0.027), sugar-sweetened beverages (p¼0.001), high-fat salty snacks (p¼0.001), and candy Conclusions: This study supports a link between policy and sustainable decreases in some food practices but not others and a differential effect that favors middle schools over high schools. Policy-setting is a dynamic process requiring ongoing surveillance to identify shifting trends.
