Abstract
Background and Aims: Girls are mothers of the future and you,ll have to plan ahead from adolescence to improve their nutrition. The Precede model surveys the causes of those behavioral factors that are closely related to health. Causes affecting behavior have been categorized in the educational diagnostic stage of this model. The aim of this study was therefore to determine the factors associated with fruits and vegetables consumption (FVC) among female students based on the educational diagnostic stage of the PRECEDE model.
Materials and Methods: This descriptive-analytic study was conducted with participation of 445 female high school students in Bojnourd city in 2017. A two-stage method was employed for sampling. Data gathering tool was a questionnaire including demographic questions and knowledge, attitude and PRECEDE model. Data were analyzed using SPSS software version 16.0 through appropriate tests. All stages of the study were conducted according to moral standards.
Results: Multiple regression analysis showed that the various constructs of the PRESADE model could overally explain 23.7% of the variance in FVC behavior in the students under study. Among the constructs of the model, knowledge, enabling and reinforcing factors, had a significant contribution in explaining the variance of FVC behavior (P<0.05). There was a significant positive correlation between FVC behavior and all constructs of the PRECEDE model (P>0.001).
Conclusion: Considering the statistically significant relationship between the PRECED model and the FVC behavior, appropriate educational interventions are suggested to be considered using this model, with the emphasis on knowledge, enabling and reinforcing factors in schools.
