To assess social and familial environmental influences on fruit and vegetable (FV) consumption of fourth- and fifth-graders living in a culturally diverse, urban setting.
In 2006, students from 9 fourth- and fifth-grade classrooms from a public school in the Washington-Baltimore Metropolitan Region were recruited as part of the Food Stamp Nutrition Education's initiative to increase FV consumption among school-aged children in low-income schools. This intervention was conducted in partnership with the school.
Ninety-three fourth- and fifth-grade students and their parents.
The average daily FV consumption of elementary school students was the dependent variable. Home engagement (eg, student participation in menu planning and food selection at home), parental modeling, school environment, peer influences, and individual characteristics were the independent variables.
Multiple regression analysis.
Family and home environment factors explained more than 50% of the variance in students' FV consumption.
Interventions designed to influence school-aged children's FV consumption should target family members and consider incorporating strategies to reach families and promote meal planning activities with the children in their homes.
评估生活在文化多元化城市环境中的四、五年级学生的社会和家庭环境对其水果和蔬菜（FV）消费的影响。
2006 年，从华盛顿-巴尔的摩大都市区的一所公立学校的 9 个四、五年级教室招募了学生，作为食品券营养教育计划的一部分，该计划旨在增加贫困学校学龄儿童的 FV 消费。该干预措施是与学校合作进行的。
93 名四、五年级学生及其家长。
小学生的平均每日 FV 消费是因变量。家庭参与（例如，学生在家中参与菜单规划和食物选择）、父母榜样、学校环境、同伴影响和个体特征是自变量。
多元回归分析。
家庭和家庭环境因素解释了学生 FV 消费变化的 50%以上。
旨在影响学龄儿童 FV 消费的干预措施应该针对家庭成员，并考虑采用策略来接触家庭，并在家中促进与孩子的膳食计划活动。
