Nguyen, Bong; Moyeda-Carabaza, Ana Florencia; Li, Xu; Bala, Faith
Journal of Family and Consumer Sciences, v115 n1 p14-21 Mar 2023
The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to explore factors that influence intentions to adopt healthy dietary behaviors among university students. Five hundred twenty-five university students participated in this study. A questionnaire that included items on intention to adopt healthy eating behaviors, exposure to nutrition, media, parental and peer modeling, barriers, attitudes, self-efficacy, and outcome expectations was administered via Qualtrics. The findings of this study underscore influences of media, self-efficacy, and modeling on healthy eating behaviors among university students. The findings also emphasize the role of nutrition exposure in influencing self-efficacy and attitudes toward intentions to healthy eating behaviors.
