Nutritional knowledge, attitudes, and practices of high school graduates

N E Schwartz. J Am Diet Assoc. 1975 Jan.

Abstract

A mail survey was conducted to investigate the relationship between previous nutrition education in high school home economics classes and the present nutritional knowledge, attitudes, and practices of Ohio high school graduates. Findings revealed that young women previously enrolled in home economics courses with a unit in food, nutrition, and health did not achieve significantly higher scores in tests of nutritional knowledge, attitudes, and practices than did those who had not been exposed to such nutritional education. Attitudes toward food and nutrition were found to mediate the nutritional knowledge and practices of these high school graduates.
