Exploring the opportunities for food and drink purchasing and consumption by teenagers during their journeys between home and school: a feasibility study using a novel method.

摘要: Objective To investigate the feasibility and acceptability of using wearable cameras as a method to capture opportunities for food drink purchasing/consumption that young people encounter on their regular journeys from school. Design A qualitative study multiple data-collection methods including cameras, global positioning system units, individual interviews, purchase consumption diaries completed by participants over four days, an audit outlets located within 800 m Euclidean buffer zone around each Setting community setting. Subjects Twenty-two students (fourteen girls eight boys) aged 13–15 years recruited secondary schools in two counties England. Results Wearable offered feasible acceptable collecting data when used alongside traditional collection small number teenagers. We found evidence making deliberate choices about whether or not purchase/consume journeys. These were influenced priorities money, friends, journey length, travel mode ease access purchase/consumption. Most items purchased/consumed school, with commonly selected being high energy, fat sugar. camera images combined interviews helped identify unreported misreporting errors. Conclusions prompt detailed discussion generate contextually specific information which could offer new insights understanding eating behaviour patterns. The scaling up use these requires further empirical work.
