To describe the development and evaluation of Healthy Lunchbox Challenge, a nutrition program targeting staff, parents, and children in summer day camps (SDCs).
Of course, post facto, observed firm performance provides a possible evaluation of strategy; the challenge is to evaluate strategy while something can still be done about it.
