January 1, 2000 Fostering A Close ConnectionReport to Covering Kids on Options for Conducting Child Health Insurance Outreach and Enrollment Through the National School Lunch Program Among the most promising strategies for reducing the number of uninsured children are strategies that involve the nation’s schools in child health insurance outreach and enrollment activities. Several approaches for conducting health insurance outreach through the School Lunch Program have been suggested, each presenting its own set of opportunities and challenges. To discuss these ideas, a School Lunch Interest Group was convened by the Covering Kids Communications and Marketing Group. Representatives of government agencies and organizations with expertise on school lunch issues were invited to join the Communications and Marketing Group participants in the discussions. This report summaries the School Lunch Interest Group discussions with regards to recent federal efforts to promote linkages between school lunch and child health coverage programs; avenues for linking the school lunch and child health coverage program application processes; and suggestions for strengthening connections between school lunch and child health coverage programs.
