In this study, we examined nutrition-related topics among adolescent students attending schools with different Indices of Community Socio-Educational Advantage (ICSEA).
Participating students (N = 206) from 5 schools in Western Australia completed a paper-based questionnaire on nutrition-related topics. Frequencies and independent chi-square tests were used to identify differences between sexes and school ICSEA.
Of the participating students, 75% were interested in learning about 8 of 16 topics. We found statistically significant differences by sex (p < .01) for "Eating the right foods for preventing illness and disease," "Eating the right food for being active" among girls, and "Reducing food waste" among boys. We also noted differences by school ICSEA.
Acknowledging sex and socioeducational differences in teaching and learning may help teachers to engage adolescent students in nutrition education.
本研究调查了社区社会教育优势指数（ICSEA）不同的学校中青少年学生的营养相关话题。
西澳大利亚 5 所学校的参与学生（N=206）完成了一份关于营养相关话题的纸质问卷。使用频率和独立卡方检验来确定性别和学校 ICSEA 之间的差异。
在参与的学生中，有 75%的学生对 16 个话题中的 8 个感兴趣。我们发现，在“吃正确的食物预防疾病和疾病”、“吃正确的食物保持活跃”等话题上，性别差异显著（p<0.01），女生更关注这些话题，而在“减少食物浪费”方面，男生更关注这些话题。我们还注意到了学校 ICSEA 的差异。
在教学中认识到性别和社会教育的差异，可能有助于教师让青少年学生参与营养教育。
