Increasing vegetable and fruit consumption. - AN0912
|
Description
Recent reports set out imposing challenges for health and
nutrition in Britain, and increases in vegetable and fruit
consumption would greatly contribute to meeting several of
the desired outcomes. Attainment of these goals will be
largely based on the ability to change consumer behaviour; |
Objective
1. To determine the attitudinal characteristics and
perceived obstacles to increasing consumption of fruits and
vegetables among selected population subgrouped by sex,
social class, region and fruit and vegetable intakes.
2. To identify relationships amongst potential obstacles,
measures of acceptability of dietary change, attitudinal
characteristics and compliance among a population attempting
to increase their fruit and vegetable consumption.
3. To characterise from total dietary intakes the
nutritional implications of attempts to increase fruit and
vegetable consumption, in relation to food selection and
culinary practices.
4. To develop selected alternative strategies and carry out
validation studies to assess their effectiveness and
acceptability for enhancing fruit and vegetable consumption. |
