Identify college freshmen perceptions of the effectiveness of a nutrition module taught by graduate nutrition students.
Thirty-four college freshmen, 18 and older.
Three graduate nutrition students conducted 5 focus groups during spring semester, 2004. Audio recordings were transcribed and data analysis was based on the long-table approach.
Students reported increased knowledge of food portions and healthier breakfast and snack food choices. Peer instructors were preferred because of their enthusiasm and healthy image. Effective aspects of the module were the food models and visuals; less effective aspects included the game and computer activity.
Students desired information that could be integrated into a college student's lifestyle. Many students gained new nutrition information and found the module worthwhile. Findings can be used to build on best practices, to improve nutrition education initiatives, and to further advance the health of college students.
了解大一新生对由研究生营养学生教授的营养模块的有效性的看法。
34 名 18 岁及以上的大一新生。
2004 年春季学期，三名研究生营养学生进行了 5 次焦点小组讨论。音频记录被转录，数据分析基于长桌方法。
学生们报告称，他们对食物份量的了解以及更健康的早餐和零食选择有所增加。同伴指导员因其热情和健康形象而受到青睐。模块的有效方面是食物模型和视觉效果；不太有效的方面包括游戏和计算机活动。
学生们希望获得可以融入大学生活方式的信息。许多学生获得了新的营养信息，并认为该模块很有价值。研究结果可用于借鉴最佳实践，改善营养教育计划，并进一步促进大学生的健康。
