To understand perceived barriers of a diverse sample of college students and their suggestions for interventions aimed at healthy eating, cooking, and physical activity.
Forty students (33% Asian American, 30% mixed ethnicity) were recruited. Six focus groups were audio-recorded, transcribed, and coded. Coding began with codes, but allowed for additional codes to emerge. Analysis of questionnaires on participants' dietary and physical activity practices and behaviors provided context for qualitative findings.
Barriers included time, cost, facility quality, and intimidation. Tailoring towards a college student's lifestyle, inclusion of hands-on skill building, and online support and resources were suggested strategies.
Findings provide direction for diet and physical activity interventions and policies aimed at college students.
了解不同类型大学生所感知到的障碍,以及他们对旨在促进健康饮食、烹饪和体育活动的干预措施的建议。
招募了40名学生(33%为亚裔美国人,30%为混合族裔)。对六个焦点小组进行了录音、转录和编码。编码从预设代码开始,但也允许出现额外的代码。对参与者饮食和体育活动习惯及行为的问卷调查分析为定性研究结果提供了背景信息。
障碍包括时间、成本、设施质量和 intimidation(此处可能有误,推测为“ intimidation”的正确形式“intimidation”,意为“恐吓、威胁” )。建议的策略包括根据大学生的生活方式进行调整、纳入实践技能培养以及提供在线支持和资源。
研究结果为针对大学生的饮食和体育活动干预措施及政策提供了指导方向。
