Abstract

The purpose of this article is to disseminate the results of the Intervention monitoring strategies carried out within the scope of the Health Promoting School - Growing with weight and measure project, integrated in the Health Indicators Monitoring Unit (UMIS). The population covered in this phase of the project were 60 pre-school children and 136 1st cycle students; After the sessions developed, aiming at recognizing the importance of breakfast foods and healthy snacks, evaluation strategies were developed in a qualitative methodological approach using observation, questionnaire survey and analysis of the drawings produced by the children.

It emphasizes a knowledge appropriation (healthy breakfast and snack), dissonant of the results obtained with the questionnaire and observation, focused on the daily constitution of those meals prepared at home.

There is a new planning of interventions to be developed in the continuity of the project, focusing on the family and community context of these children.
