Contraints on freedom of dietary choice and their implicat- ions for the adoption and maintenance of healthy diets - AN0911
|
Description
This research addresses directly the influence on diet of
economic and social constraints, such as differences in
income, availability of transport and access to different
types of shops. In addition to correlational analyses
between income and dietary choices, the effects of changes
in income on diet will be measured. Some of these
relationships are likely to be mediated by differences in
the beliefs and values held by people with differing levels
of constraint and the effects of these mediating variables
wil be tested quantitatively. The influences of these
factors will also be assessed in conjunction with correlates
of income such as budgeting practices and accessibility to
retail outlets. |
Objective
1. To measure the attitudes, values and barriers to dietary
change to different income groups in Scotland and England.
2. To measure the impact of changes in income on food
preferences and consumption.
3. To measure the barriers of dietary change in different
income groups.
4. To integrate the effects of income constraints with those
of other social and psychological effects on dietary
choice. |
