2000 California High School Fast Food Survey

Concerned about the record level of youth obesity, the Public Health Institute conducted the first study in the state to research the prevalence of fast foods on California high school campuses and student access to healthy foods at school. The study, conducted by Samuels and Associates, describes the:
  • Types of fast foods being sold on California high school campuses;

  • Factors that influence fast food sales; and the

  • Economic and policy issues associated with them.


Findings from the survey will be used by California Project LEAN to address adolescent nutrition and physical activity issues. For a one page fact sheet with key findings and recommendations click here.

The survey was funded by a grant from The California Endowment.

In 2001, California Project LEAN received top honors (a Crystal Award) from the International Association of Business Communicators, Sacramento Chapter, for its public relations campaign releasing the 2000 California High School Fast Food Survey.
