Summary

Recent national statistics revealed that the prevalence of lifestyle related diseases is increasing in Singapore. Much of this disease burden can be prevented using lifestyle strategies. A large proportion of Singaporeans consume foods prepared by outside vendors. These foods are typically high in refined-grains and saturated fat, and choices for healthier foods like brown-rice often do not exist. The Healthier Dining Program managed by the Health Promotion Board of Singapore, seeks to assess if increasing the availability of healthier food options increases consumer consumption of these foods. The investigators aim to evaluate this program implemented on the National University of Singapore campus. A major output of this evaluation will be the assessment of the barriers and enablers to programme implementation which will provide guidance for the widespread implementation of the programme. Additionally this evaluation can lead to detailed recommendations on policies and programmes relevant to non-home food environments. This is important as successful interventions have the potential of improving the eating behaviors of a vast majority of the population.
