Classification of Laws Associated with School Students
http://class.cancer.gov/‒ Classification system of codified state laws
Includes two systems coding Physical Education/Recess and Nutrition policies:
Physical Education-Related State Policy Classification System (PERSPCS)
School Nutrition Environment State Policy Classification System (SNESPCS)
‒ All 50 states and Washington DC‒ Grade levels: Elementary, Middle and High School
2003-2008 data, tool, and codebook
NOTE: *2010 Data Currently Being
Coded*
C.L.A.S.S. users can select PE or nutrition,
grade level, policy area, and year to
generate customized national maps of
codified state-laws

Sampling methodology
Policy lag
‒ Data SetsSHPPS (School Health Policies and Programs Survey)
U.S. Census
Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System/Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBSS/YRBS)
U.S. Department of Educational Statistics
‒ Purpose Examine relationship between state-laws for time spent in school physical education (PE) class and adolescent weight status
‒ National Survey of Children’s Health (NSCH)Noninstitutionalized children and adolescents
Ages 0 to 17 years
50 states and the District of Columbia
Cross sectional survey data collected 2003, 2007; oversampled urban areas, telephone survey
‒ Policy Lag and Variables UsedNSCH 2007 – Weight Status
PERSPCS 2005 – PE time requirements
‒ Selected Middle School Students
‒ Results Inverse relationship between weight status (r=- 0.02, p<0.05) and stringency of PE time state laws
Relationship between state law and weight status: Significant among Black students (r=-.03, p<0.001)
Not significant among Whites students (r=-.01, p=0.17)

Do schools within states with higher C.L.A.S.S. PE-Time scores report more PE-time than schools within states with relatively lower PERSPCS scores?

On average, how many days per week are the _____ graders scheduled to take physical education?
On average, how many minutes is each session of physical education scheduled to last?

Average student/teacher ratio
Achievement test scores in ES, MS, HS?
Amount spent per pupil on education?
