This study reports an investigation of teenagers' perceptions of food and their food behaviors. The study was qualitative in design. Data were collected on eleven teenagers in their homes through interviews and observations. Data were analysed using the method of constant comparative analysis. The adolescents' rationales for their food behaviors reflected both their perceptions of what was important regarding foods and food behaviors and how these perceptions or actual behaviors might change over time or as situations changed. The data were interpreted to show that teenagers have frameworks which guide their decision making about food. Processes which contributed to the development of the adolescents' frameworks were their interpretation of cues and knowledge, the comparison of themselves with others and the desire to resolve issues of personal concern. The adolescents were also described as having food behaviors directed by issues related to either "convictions" or "convenience." The knowledge guiding the teenagers' decision making was based on their interpretations of information and personal experiences. Adolescents assessed the usefulness of information presented to them by examining its relevancy to their own situation, its compatibility with personal beliefs and its consistency with sources identified as credible. Such credible sources might include parents, nurses or teachers. / Applied Science, Faculty of / Nursing, School of / Graduate

Dietitians and nutritionists today realise the importance of knowing about peoples' food habits and patterns to be able to understand their dietary and medical problems more readily. It is my intention to study the current and traditional food habits and patterns of the various population groups by interviewing as many members of each group as possible on: - daily eating patterns - cooking methods - traditional foods - taboos, feasts and fasts In the introduction the discussion will focus on the origin of food habits and patterns and the influencing factors in a wider context.

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / Dietary habits of 30 cerebral palsied children were investigated in this study using seven-day intake records obtained from their parents. Each child was classified in terms of physiological and topographical involvement, functional capacity, and mental retardation. All food records were evaluated in terms of the four food groups, and the nutritional adequacy and consistency of the diet were analyzed. The average number of meals per day and the frequency and types of between-meal snacks were evaluated. The cerebral palsied children, as a group, showed pronounced deficiency in all four food groups being most deficient in the vegetable-fruit group and least deficient in the bread-cereals group. In terms of nutrients, the children showed deficiencies of iron, calories, niacin, ascorbic acid, and calcium, in the order listed. The children generally consumed soft food, ate their meals at surprising regularity, and snacked approximately three items per day. Their snacks consisted of items of high nutritional value. Dietary habits did not vary significantly when they were evaluated according to types of affliction. Some effects on the consumption of milk and fruits and vegetables were observed, but because each type of cerebral palsy was not well represented, results did not warrant definite conclusions.
