Nutrition Information in a High Achool Cafeteria
Author: Audrey Delfina Fresques
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Consumer behavior
Languages : en
Pages : 107
Book Description
Providing nutrition information at point of sale at restaurants has gained in popularity in recent years and will soon become a legal requirement. Consumers are using this opportunity to become more informed on the nutritional quality of the foods they consume in an effort to maintain healthfulness. Prior research has confirmed the utility of this information in adult populations. However, research on adolescents in school environments has resulted in mixed findings. This study investigated the effect of exposure to calorie and fat information on student purchases at lunchtime in a high school cafeteria. Additionally, it explored other factors that may contribute to students' food selections during school lunches. The research methods included analysis of changes in cafeteria food sales in one school, surveys, and focus groups. Analysis of cafeteria food sales during lunch did not show any significant change in the average number of calories and fat purchased per student between pre and post intervention. However, information gathered from focus group questioning demonstrated how students used the nutrition information to change their behavior after they have purchased their food.

Cafeteria Based Nutrition Education Intervention May Positively Influence Nutrition Attitudes and Knowledge of Adolescent Females
Author: Susan J. Smith
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Nutrition counseling
Languages : en
Pages : 41
Book Description
A high school cafeteria based nutrition education program aimed at passively positively altering attitudes and knowledge of adolescent girls was developed, implemented and evaluated. A pre-experimental pre- and post-test design was used. Subjects were pre-tested, exposed to nutrition intervention in the cafeteria consisting of signs, contests and nutrient analysis, and post-tested two weeks later. Because this was a pilot study, no control group was used. A nutrition knowledge test and attitude assessment test using a Likert-type scale were used to collect data. Results did not disprove the null hypothesis and no positive increase was noted in either attitude or knowledge.
