^aOdds ratio and (95% confidence intervals), adjusted for other school-level characteristics for each nutrition policy item.

^bN=2008 School Health Profiles data representing 6,732 schools from 28 states.

^cIncludes responses “almost always or always”.

^dVMSS=vending machines or school stores.

^eref=reference group.

^fFor example: Does this school limit the package or serving size of any individual food and beverage items sold in vending machines or at the school store?

^*Odds ratios significantly different from the reference group after adjusting for multiple comparisons at the 0.008 level.
