Objective To examine whether home availability of energy-dense snack foods mediates the association between television (TV) viewing and energy-dense snack consumption among adolescents. Design Cross-sectional. Setting Secondary schools in Victoria, Australia. Subjects Adolescents ( n 2984) from Years 7 and 9 of secondary school completed a web-based survey, between September 2004 and July 2005, assessing their energy-dense snack food consumption, school-day and weekend-day TV viewing and home availability of energy-dense snack foods. Results School-day and weekend-day TV viewing were positively associated with energy-dense snack consumption among adolescent boys ( β = 0·003, P β = 0·03, P β = 0·26, P β = 0·28, P Conclusions The results of the present study suggest that TV viewing has a significant role to play in adolescent unhealthy eating behaviours. Future research should assess the efficacy of methods to reduce adolescent energy-dense snack food consumption by targeting parents to reduce home availability of energy-dense foods and by reducing TV viewing behaviours of adolescents
