Nutrition labels are often underutilized due to the time and effort required to read them. We investigated the impact of label-reading training on effort, as well as accuracy and motivation. Eighty college students (21 men and 59 women). The training consisted of a background tutorial on nutrition followed by three blocks of practice reading labels to decide which of two foods was the relatively better choice. Label-reading effort was assessed using an eye tracker and motivation was assessed using a 6-item scale of healthy food-choice empowerment. Students showed increases in label-reading accuracy, decreases in label-reading effort, and increases in empowerment. The nutrition label e-training tool presented here, whether used alone or as part of other wellness and health programs, may be an effective way to boost students' label-reading skills and healthy food choices, before they settle into grocery shopping habits.
由于阅读营养标签需要时间和精力，因此营养标签往往未被充分利用。我们研究了标签阅读培训对努力程度、准确性和动机的影响。80 名大学生（21 名男性和 59 名女性）。培训包括营养基础知识教程，然后是三个练习阅读标签的模块，以确定两种食物中哪一种相对更好。使用眼动仪评估标签阅读的努力程度，使用 6 项健康食品选择赋权量表评估动机。学生的标签阅读准确性提高，阅读努力程度降低，赋权感增强。这里提出的营养标签电子培训工具，无论是单独使用还是作为其他健康和健康计划的一部分，都可能是一种有效的方法，可以在学生养成购物习惯之前，提高他们的标签阅读技能和健康食品选择。
