Attitudes to healthy eating among Scottish school children

Abstract

A questionnaire survey of 157 school children living in three different regions in Scotland was carried out, to identify differences in attitudes to healthy eating. School children aged 11‐13 were asked a series of questions to establish how important they felt a healthy diet to be and what they thought made up a healthy diet. Discusses ways in which healthy eating could be approached in schools, to achieve improvements in diet and health at a local level, with suggestions for further research.
