目的：以学校为基础的干预措施可能会增加儿童对蔬菜和水果的偏好。这项加拿大的研究测量了原住民第一民族学童的V&F知识，偏好和家庭消费的变化后，实施园艺和V&F小吃计划。在基线、7个月和18个月时，1-6年级（i）的儿童列出了他们知道的至少5个V&F，（ii）品尝并使用6点Likert量表表示他们对9种蔬菜和8种水果的偏好，以及（iii）表示他们的家庭消费量为17 V&F。在所有3个时间点，56.8%（n = 66/116）的儿童提供了数据。儿童在18个月时（4.9 +/- 0.1）列出的V&F数量高于基线（4.5 +/- 1.0）或7个月（4.7 +/-0.07）（F-（1.6，F-105.6）= 6.225，P < 0.05）。蔬菜偏好在基线（37.9 ± 9.3）和7个月（39.9 ± 9.2）之间变得更加积极，但在18个月时恢复到基线水平（37.3 ± 8.7）（F-（1.6，F-105.8）= 4.581，P < 0.05）。18个月时的水果偏好（42.7 ± 3.0）高于基线（41.1 ± 4.3）和7个月时（41.9 ± 5.1）（F-（1.7，F-113.3）= 3.409，P < 0.05）。没有变化的V& F消费发生在home.Conclusions：尽管改善V& F的知识和偏好，家庭消费的V& F没有发生。可能需要以家庭为基础的组成部分补充以学校为基础的方案，以影响儿童的V& F摄入量。
Purpose: School-based interventions may increase children's preferences for vegetables and fruit (V&F). This Canadian study measured changes in Indigenous First Nations schoolchildren's V&F knowledge, preferences, and home consumption following the implementation of a gardening and V&F snack program.Methods: At baseline, 7 months, and 18 months, children in grades 1-6 (i) listed at least 5 V&F they knew, (ii) tasted and indicated their preferences towards 9 vegetables and 8 fruit using a 6-point Likert scale, and (iii) indicated their home consumption of 17 V&F.Results: At all 3 time points, 56.8% (n = 66/116) of children provided data. Children listed a greater number of V&F at 18 months (4.9 +/- 0.1) than at baseline (4.5 +/- 1.0) or 7 months (4.7 +/- .07) (F-(1.6,F-105.6) = 6.225, P < 0.05). Vegetable preferences became more positive between baseline (37.9 +/- 9.3) and 7 months (39.9 +/- 9.2), but returned to baseline levels at 18 months (37.3 +/- 8.7) (F-(1.6,F-105.8) = 4.581, P < 0.05). Fruit preferences at 18 months (42.7 +/- 3.0) were greater than at baseline (41.1 +/- 4.3) and at 7 months (41.9 +/- 5.1) (F-(1.7,F-113.3) = 3.409, P < 0.05). No change in V& F consumption occurred at home.Conclusions: Despite improvements in V& F knowledge and preferences, home consumption of V& F did not occur. Complementing school-based programs with home-based components may be needed to influence V& F intake of children.
