To identify factors influencing intention to consume an indigenous nutritious grain, fonio (Digitaria exilis), among women in Mali.
A cross-sectional questionnaire survey based on the Theory of Planned Behavior and the Health Belief Model.
One hundred and eight women (31.5 ± 10.5 years), randomly selected by a 3-stage cluster sampling, Bamako, Mali.
Model constructs scores, intention to consume fonio, and fonio consumption.
Correlation and multiple regression, Wilcoxon signed rank and Mann-Whitney tests for score comparison.
Attitudes toward behavior (β = .32, P < .05) was the best predictor of intention to consume fonio, which was significantly correlated with fonio consumption (rho = .78, P < .001). Health value (β = .23, P < .05) was a significant predictor of health behavior identity, which was significantly correlated with attitudes toward behavior (rho = .67, P < 0.001) and perceived barriers (rho = .33, P < .001). The latter formed a significant interaction term between intention and behavior (β = -.72, P < .05).
Fonio consumption could be increased in Bamako through stimulation of positive attitudes, changing men's beliefs, influencing family and neighbors' opinions, and improving the processing and the skills of women who prepare fonio.
确定马里妇女食用本土营养谷物——高粱（Digitaria exilis）的意愿的影响因素。
基于计划行为理论和健康信念模型的横断面问卷调查。
通过 3 阶段聚类抽样随机选择的 108 名妇女（31.5±10.5 岁），马里巴马科。
模型构建得分、食用高粱的意愿和高粱的食用情况。
相关性和多元回归分析、Wilcoxon 符号秩检验和 Mann-Whitney 检验用于得分比较。
行为态度（β=.32，P<.05）是食用高粱意愿的最佳预测因素，与高粱的食用情况显著相关（rho =.78，P<.001）。健康价值（β=.23，P<.05）是健康行为认同的重要预测因素，与行为态度（rho =.67，P<.001）和感知障碍（rho =.33，P<.001）显著相关。后者在意图和行为之间形成了一个显著的交互项（β= -.72，P<.05）。
通过激发积极的态度、改变男性的信念、影响家庭和邻居的意见以及提高妇女准备高粱的技能和技巧，可能会增加巴马科高粱的食用量。
