OBJECTIVE
The researchers evaluated the impact of a 7-month gardening and 4-month vegetable and fruit snack program on Aboriginal First Nations children's home consumption and preferences toward vegetables and fruit.
METHODS
The intervention was based on the Social Cognitive Theory. Children in grades 1-6 planted and tended classroom container gardens and prepared and ate what grew. At baseline and 7 months later, children tasted and rated 17 vegetables and fruit using a Likert scale and indicated whether they ate each food at home.
RESULTS
Data were collected from 76 of 116 children (65.5%). Preference scores for vegetables, fruit, and vegetables and fruit combined increased over the 7 months (P < .017). Self-reported home consumption did not change.
CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS
School interventions have the potential to increase children's preferences for vegetables and fruit. Family participation is likely required, along with increased community availability of produce, to promote home consumption.
目的
研究人员评估了一项为期7个月的园艺活动以及为期4个月的蔬菜和水果零食计划对原住民儿童在家中食用蔬菜和水果的情况以及对它们的偏好的影响。
方法
该干预措施基于社会认知理论。1至6年级的学生在教室种植并照料容器花园，种植出的作物经加工后食用。在基线期和7个月后，孩子们使用李克特量表对17种蔬菜和水果进行品尝和评分，并表明他们在家中是否食用每种食物。
结果
从116名儿童中的76名（65.5%）收集了数据。在7个月的时间里，蔬菜、水果以及蔬菜和水果综合的偏好得分有所提高（P < 0.017）。自我报告的在家食用情况没有变化。
结论与启示
学校干预措施有可能增加儿童对蔬菜和水果的偏好。可能需要家庭参与，同时增加社区的农产品供应，以促进在家食用。
