本研究旨在探讨园本教育对儿童蔬菜消费之影响。作为前后小组研究的一部分，236名学生完成了菜园蔬菜频率问卷，161名学生完成了口味测试。结果表明，学校园艺可能会影响儿童的蔬菜消费，包括提高认识，态度，偏好，并愿意品尝蔬菜。园艺也增加了蔬菜的种类。未来的研究应该探讨这种影响是否会随着时间的推移而持续，以及儿童行为的变化是否以及如何影响其照顾者的行为。研究结果的政策和实践的影响进行了讨论。为将来的健康促进应用结果的建议。
This study describes the effects of garden-based education on children's vegetable consumption. As part of a pre-post panel study, 236 students complete the Garden Vegetable Frequency Questionnaire and 161 complete a taste test. Results indicate that school gardening may affect children's vegetable consumption, including improved recognition of, attitudes toward, preferences for, and willingness to taste vegetables. Gardening also increases the variety of vegetables eaten. Future research should explore whether effects persist over time and if and how changes in children's behavior affect the behavior of their caregivers. Implications of study findings for policy and practice are discussed. Suggestions for applying results to future health promotions are provided.
