and schools’ specific context; the Canteen Scan (an online tool that provides insight and
advices regarding the availability and accessibility of food and drink products in their
canteen); an advisory meeting and written report in which stakeholders receive tailored
advice; communication materials; an online community; newsletters; and a fact sheet
with students’ needs and wishes. During the intervention all schools will be encouraged
to involve their students in the process to change their canteen. The implementation 2 tools will be provided by school canteen advisors of the Netherlands Nutrition Centre, in collaboration with the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. Within our research, the advisors will
use the developed implementation tools to support the intervention schools.

An online tool that provides insight into and directions for improvement of availability and accessibility of food and drink products in canteens [100].
To create ownership and insight into
the changes so far, the school receives information to fill out the Canteen Scan by themselves if they wanted.
In one advisory meeting per school, all involved stakeholders are advised about how to improve the canteen by a school canteen advisor of the Netherlands Nutrition Centre. Based on the aims of
the school and the points of attention, identified with the two questionnaires and the Canteen Scan a concrete action plan will be developed during the meeting. As this action plan is created together, ownership and collaboration will be increased. After the meeting, a written report based on this meeting will be distributed by email.
