yes / Objective: This study explored associations between food choice motives, attitudes towards,
5 and intention to adopt personalised nutrition in order to inform communication strategies
6 based on consumer priorities and concerns. Design and Setting: A survey was administered
7 online which included the food choice questionnaire (FCQ), and items assessing attitudes
8 towards and intention to adopt personalised nutrition. Participants: Nationally representative
9 samples were recruited in 9 EU countries (N=9381). Results: Structural equation modelling
10 indicated that the food choice motives, weight control, mood, health and ethical concern had
11 a positive association and price had a negative association with attitude towards, and
12 intention to adopt, personalised nutrition. Health was positively associated and familiarity
13 negatively associated with attitude toward personalised nutrition. The effects of weight
14 control, ethical concern, mood and price on intention to adopt personalised nutrition were
15 partially mediated by the attitude. The effects of health and familiarity were fully mediated
16 by attitude. Sensory appeal was negatively and directly associated with intention to adopt
17 personalised nutrition. Conclusion: Personalised nutrition providers may benefit from taking
18 into consideration the importance of underlying determinants of food choice, particularly
19 weight control, mood and price, in potential users when promoting services and in tailoring
20 communications that are motivationally relevant. / Post peer-review accepted manuscript; changes are in red.
