Changes in nutrition knowledge and dietary behaviour
Abstract
The majority of studies examining nutrition knowledge and dietary behaviour have been cross‐sectional. In contrast, this longitudinal study aims to examine changes in individuals’ nutrition knowledge and dietary behaviour over time. Participants were a cohort of mothers who in 1993 completed questionnaires on nutrition knowledge and dietary behaviour and who reported that they intended to change their diets over the next 12 months. This study administered the same questionnaires in 1994, with additional questions to examine further changes in eating habits. Results and implications are discussed.
