Summary

Increasing fruit and vegetable intake is important to health but children's vegetable intake remains low. In younger age groups parents act as gatekeepers by providing access, availability, persuasion and modelling. This study aimed to enhance parent vegetable serving behaviour and child vegetable intake through an 8-week social cognitive theory-based family cooking program.

Conditions

  • Diet Habit

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Mind the Gap: Home Activity Only

The primary focus of the home activity program was based on collaborative parent-child cooking activities which the families undertook themselves at home. There were two key tasks: the first was to add one extra vegetable to the evening meal each day, the second was to select, prepare and cook one recipe from the cook book each week.

BEHAVIORAL

Mind the Gap: Home Activity + cooking Workshop

The main purpose of these workshops was to provide hands-on successful food preparation and cooking experiences for the families and several opportunities to taste new vegetable-based recipes as well as promoting knowledge of cost and healthy eating. Children and their parents were then encouraged to take whatever was learned and apply it at home.
