目的从青少年和父母两个角度考察和比较家庭用餐环境。设计青少年完成了一项以学校为基础的调查，父母参加了电话访谈(青少年就餐计划)。调查对象/背景包括902名青少年女性(n=424)和男性(n=478)及其监护人/父母之一。统计分析使用频数、X-2分析和Spearman相关分析来评估关系。结果父母比青少年更有可能每周吃5顿或更多的家庭饭、一起吃饭的重要性和时间安排困难(P<；0.001)。年龄较小的青少年比年龄较大的青少年更有可能报告每周吃五次或更多的家庭聚餐，一起吃饭的重要性更高，以及对用餐时间的规则期望更高(P<；0.001)，而年龄较大的青少年更有可能报告日程安排困难(P<；0.001)。女生每周家庭用餐次数多于男生，日程安排冲突多于男生；男生吃饭规则多于女生(P<；0.001)。结论青少年和家长都对家庭用餐持积极态度。家庭聚餐可能是一种有用的机制，可以加强家庭团聚，并为父母希望孩子效仿的榜样行为。营养学专业人士可以利用对家庭聚餐的积极态度来帮助提高家庭聚餐的频率。帮助家庭学习烹饪健康、快餐可能会减少对不太健康的膳食选择的依赖，减少外出就餐的频率，并促进更多的营养摄入。
Objective To examine and compare the family mealtime environment from the perspectives of both adolescents and parents.Design Adolescents completed a school-based survey and parents participated in a telephone interview as part of Project EAT (Eating Among Teens).Subjects/setting Participants were 902 adolescent females (n = 424) and males (n = 478) and one of their guardians/ parents.Statistical analyses performed Frequencies, X-2 analyses, and Spearman correlations were used to assess relationships.Results Parents were more likely than adolescents to report eating five or more family meals per week, the importance of eating together, and scheduling difficulties (P < 0.001). Younger adolescents were more likely than older adolescents to report eating five or more family meals per week, higher importance of eating together, and more rule expectations at mealtime (P < 0.001), whereas older adolescents were more likely to report scheduling difficulties (P < 0.001). Girls reported more family meals per week and more scheduling conflicts than boys did; boys reported more rules at mealtime than girls did (P < 0.001).Conclusions Family meals are perceived positively by both adolescents and parents. Family meals may be a useful mechanism for enhancing family togetherness, and for role modeling behaviors that parents would like their children to emulate. Dietetics professionals can capitalize on positive attitudes toward family meals to help promote their frequency. Helping families learn to cook healthful, quick meals may reduce dependency on less healthful meal options, reduce the frequency of eating outside of the home, and promote greater nutritional intake.
