Does the "Veggie U" Curriculum Increase Nutritional Knowledge, Self-Efficacy, Outcome Expectations, and Preferences Related to Fruits and Vegetables in 5th Grade Children?
Abstract
Experimental study on the effectiveness of a nutrition education curriculum at increasing knowledge related to fruit and vegetables, preferences for fruit and vegetables, self-efficacy for selecting fruit and vegetables, and outcome expectations of consuming fruit and vegetables in 5th grade children. The Veggie U curriculum significantly increased fruit and vegetable familiarity in 5th grade children from pretest to posttest. However, no significant change was observed in other psychosocial variables measured.
