Objective: To evaluate the impact of a pilot comprehensive school nutrition program modeled on Social Cognitive Theory on knowledge, intentions, self-efficacy, and intake of milk and milk alternatives (MMA) in First Nations youth. %26lt;br%26gt;Methods: A pilot school nutrition program was implemented at Peetabeck Academy in Fort Albany, Ontario in May, 2010. The Knowledge, Self-Efficacy, and Intentions Questionnaire (KSIQ) and Waterloo Web-based Eating Behavior Questionnaire (WEB-Q) were used to assess change in attitudes and behavior from pre- to postprogram. %26lt;br%26gt;Results: The KSIQ preprogram (n = 26), postprogram (n = 19); WEB-Q preprogram(n = 30), postprogram (n = 10). Improved knowledge (6.0 +/- 1.5 vs 6.9 +/- 1.5, P = .05) and intention scores (9.6 +/- 4.4 vs 11.3 +/- 4.1, P = .01) were observed. %26lt;br%26gt;Conclusions and Implications: A comprehensive school nutrition program can improve knowledge and intentions for intake of MMA in First Nations youth. Environmental constraints beyond the school environment need to be addressed.
