Diet and Physical Activity Intervention Strategies for College Students.
Health Behavior and Policy Review 2016 July
OBJECTIVES: To understand perceived barriers of a diverse sample of college students and their suggestions for interventions aimed at healthy eating, cooking, and physical activity.
METHODS: Forty students (33% Asian American, 30% mixed ethnicity) were recruited. Six focus groups were audio-recorded, transcribed, and coded. Coding began with a priori codes, but allowed for additional codes to emerge. Analysis of questionnaires on participants' dietary and physical activity practices and behaviors provided context for qualitative findings.
RESULTS: Barriers included time, cost, facility quality, and intimidation. Tailoring towards a college student's lifestyle, inclusion of hands-on skill building, and online support and resources were suggested strategies.
CONCLUSIONS: Findings provide direction for diet and physical activity interventions and policies aimed at college students.
