Making sense of healthy and sustainable food
Despite growing research on school food interventions aimed at promoting sustainable and healthy diets, the perspectives of adolescents regarding those interventions remain underexplored. This study explores adolescents’ understanding, perceived importance, and proposed strategies for (facilitating) healthy and sustainable food choices. A mixed-methods study was conducted among 296 adolescents (aged 12–16) at four Dutch secondary schools. Data wa…
Does the physical food environment in secondary school influence students’ social norm perceptions regarding healthy dietary choices? – An exploratory study in the Netherlands
Creating a healthy food environment in secondary schools has the potential to communicate social norms regarding healthy dietary choices. This study explored the relationship between the schools' food environment and perceived descriptive (what others do) and injunctive (what others approve) norms regarding healthy dietary choices among adolescents. An exploratory (quasi-experimental) study was conducted in 23 Dutch schools, differing between thr…
Determinants, behaviour change techniques and pedagogical approaches used in secondary school-based food and nutrition programmes
It seems promising for food and nutrition programmes at secondary schools to expand their current focus beyond knowledge and skills, to also target environmental, social and other essential individual determinants during adolescence which are now under-reported, such as identity. Moreover, our study revealed the importance for programmes to be tailored to adolescents' worldviews and to stimulate adolescents to be actively involved
The food environment through the eyes of adolescents
While navigating the food offer in their homes, schools and other food outlets, adolescents balance more healthy and sustainable food choices at home with more autonomous, but less healthy and less sustainable, choices outside of their homes. To support adolescents in making more healthy and sustainable choices, environments in and around schools should be designed to promote healthy and sustainable options that are affordable, while also facilit…
Integrating health and sustainability
This study explores how health and sustainability are integrated in Dutch secondary school-based food and nutrition programmes, as well as how those programmes embed the two themes in the broader school context, using the whole school approach (WSA) as an analytical framework. Fifteen online semi-structured interviews were conducted with programme representatives, supplemented by a document analysis of scientific and grey literature. Half of the …
How senior academics can Empower early-to-mid-career researchers
Experts' perceptions on motivators and barriers of healthy and sustainable dietary behaviors among adolescents
The interplay of influences shaping dietary behaviors of adolescents needs to be well-understood to develop effective strategies stimulating healthy and sustainable behaviors. This study aimed to identify the most relevant, urgent, changeable and effective motivators and barriers of healthy and sustainable dietary behaviors among adolescents (10-19 years), as perceived by an inter- and transdisciplinary expert panel. Experts working in practice (…
Social norms and young adults’ self-reported meat and plant-based meal intake
Nudging plant-based alternatives to meat and dairy in a real-life online supermarket
A shift from predominantly animal-based to plant-based consumption can benefit both planetary and public health. Nudging may help to promote such a shift. This study investigated nudge effects on plant-based alternatives to meat and dairy in an online supermarket. We conducted a two-arm, parallel-group, randomized controlled real-life online supermarket trial. Each customer transaction was randomized to a control arm (regular online supermarket) …
How perceptions of meat consumption norms differ across contexts and meat consumer groups
Social norm perceptions are implicit standards describing what is typically done or seen as acceptable and have shown to be important both in sustaining meat consumption as well as facilitating meat reduction. Norm perceptions depend on individual differences and the contexts (e.g., supermarket, restaurant). Yet, evidence how norm perceptions differ within and across individuals is scarce. The primary aim of this study was to investigate how desc…
The influence of peers and friends on young adults’ plant-based eating
Exploring promising intervention approaches to support healthy and sustainable eating among young adults
Identifying social norms in physical aspects of food environments
It is widely accepted that physical food environments can contribute to unhealthy eating, but less is known about how physical cues in these environments actually stimulate eating. Our study starts from the assumption that social norms are embedded in physical cues and aims to make an inventory of physical cues that communicate what is socially accepted as normal and/or appropriate to eat in a Dutch outside-the-home food context. In Study 1, we c…
