Description
Study conducted with 116 students in Grades 1-6 from Alexander First Nation. Found that despite intervention, children did not increase consumption of fruits and vegetables over the long term. Results suggest that improving diet quality must involve home and community food environments.
Discusses results from Photovoice study involving 26 elementary school children. Five findings emerged: dualistic understanding of health vs. unhealthy foods; packaged foods predominated; importance of family; traditional foods viewed as healthier, but few appeared in photographs; despite lack of photographs, children liked to eat fruits and vegetables when available at home.
