High school students' views of nutrition and a healthy lifestyle
by Wallace, Jessica, M.A.E., PACIFIC LUTHERAN UNIVERSITY, 2007, 60 pages; 1447866

Abstract:

The purpose of this inquiry project was to learn more about how high school students view nutrition and personal health as part of a curricular assessment of a health and nutrition unit. The design of the study involved pre and post surveys of seventy four students, follow up interviews with six students who represented the demographic and academic range within the classroom and an analysis of student health and nutrition diaries. While little change was noted on the pre and post survey results, the interviews provided important supplementary information about students' views of, and attitudes toward, their personal health and nutrition. The data suggest students require longer exposure to nutritional knowledge during the semester and that parental involvement is necessary to support those students committed to making changes in their dietary regimen.
