520 |a In 2004, the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) served an average of 29 million lunches daily, at a Federal cost of $7.6 billion. Schools are reimbursed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) according to the number of each type of meal served. FNS administrative data do not include information on the demographic characteristics of school meal participants--information that could help program administrators more effectively target the program. This study examines the demographic characteristics of students who are served by the NSLP and it looks at whether nationally representative surveys that include NSLP data can adequately estimate participant characteristics.
