Abstract Background: Fast food consumption among students is increasing dramatically. This study aims to evaluate the effect of an intervention based on the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) in reducing fast food consumption among high school students. Method: 160 high school students from Iran were randomly recruited and assigned to experiment or control groups. The intervention was conducted over three consecutive weeks, consisting of four, 45-minute teaching sessions. Parameters were assessed on three occasions: pretest, posttest, and follow-up. In these stages, participants responded to a scale on fast food consumption which measures the beliefs and behaviors toward fast food. Results: findings revealed a statistically significant difference in the posttest between experiment and control groups in the major components of fast food consumption including behavioral beliefs (t = 5.1, p < 0001), evaluation of behavioral outcomes (t = 5.3, p < 0001), normative beliefs (t = 2.3, p < 05), motivation to comply (t = 5.5, p < 0001), control beliefs (t = 4.4, p < 0001), perceived power (t = 3.3, p < 0001), and behavioral intention (t = .68, p < 0001). Similar results were obtained in the follow-up stage. Conclusion: The findings suggest that the parent-teacher participation based intervention can be used to reduce fast food consumption amongst high school students both cognitively and behaviorally. Moreover, this intervention can be further customized to increase healthy food consumption in school students and other age groups beyond the context of school.

Objective. This study was conducted to identify some factors (beliefs and norms) which are related to fast food consumption among high school students in Isfahan, Iran. We used the framework of the theory planned behavior (TPB) to predict this behavior.Subjects & Methods. Cross-sectional data were available from high school students who were recruited by cluster randomized sampling. All of the students completed a questionnaire assessing variables of standard TPB model including attitude, subjective norms, perceived behavior control (PBC), and the additional variables past behavior, actual behavior control (ABC).Results. The TPB variables explained 25.7% of the variance in intentions with positive attitude as the strongest (, ) and subjective norms as the weakest (, ) determinant. Concurrently, intentions accounted for 6% of the variance for fast food consumption. Past behavior and ABC accounted for an additional amount of 20.4% of the variance in fast food consumption.Conclusion. Overall, the present study suggests that the TPB model is useful in predicting related beliefs and norms to the fast food consumption among adolescents. Subjective norms in TPB model and past behavior in TPB model with additional variables (past behavior and actual behavior control) were the most powerful predictors of fast food consumption. Therefore, TPB model may be a useful framework for planning intervention programs to reduce fast food consumption by students.

Introduction: Given the importance of adolescent health, especially for girls, and the inadequacy of dairy consumption around the world, there is a need to examine the psychological factors associated with dairy behavior. Therefore, this study was performed on high school girls. Methods: Descriptive-analytical research was performed on 385 female high school students in Shaft city in the academic year of 2019 in the census method. The survey questionnaire consisted of demographic information, knowledge structure, perceived self-efficacy, and dairy consumption behavior completed by students. To analyze the results, 21 SPSS software and Chi- Square tests, Spearman correlation coefficient and multiple logistic regression were used. Results:n total, 221 people (57.7%) consumed less than 2 units and 162 people (42.3) consumed more than 2 units per day of dairy products. The average score of self-efficacy structures was 23.20 ± 6.6 (average) and knowledge 19.1± 3.05 (at a good level). There was no significant correlation between perceived self-efficacy and dairy consumption behavior r = 0. 199, but significant p <0.05, and no significant correlation was observed between knowledge and behavior (p> 0.05, r =- 0.25). The results of multiple logistic regression showed the predictive power of the perceived self-efficacy structure in dairy consumption behavior with a chance ratio of 1.052 (with a confidence interval of 95%: 1.089-1.016). Conclusion:Understood self-efficacy predicted the behavior of dairy consumption in the students studied, educational interventions in schools should focus more on promoting perceptions and nutritional attitudes.

Background: As adults, over-nutrition in children due to fast food intake becomes a major issue because it raises the risk of different diseases. Previous studies. A correlation between spending money on consumption patterns is stated, but further study of the correlation to over-nutrition is required. This study aimed to analysis the association between pocket money and the frequency of fast-food consumption toward overnutrition among junior high school students. Subjects and Method: This was a cross-sectional study carried out at Junior High School 98, South Jakarta, Indonesia. This location had a strategic location for fast-food traders. A total of 216 students’ grade-8 (13-15 years old) were selected for this study. Variables in this study were pocket money, fast food frequency, and overnutrition. The data were collected using data Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ), Body Mass Index (BMI) measurements, and questionnaire. The data were analyzed based on the z-score table from World Health Organization (WHO). Results: There was a significant correlation between pocket money and overnutrition, and it was statistically significant. Pocket money ≤ IDR 20.000 had a greater indicated overnutrition which is influenced by several conditions. However, there is no significant correlation between the frequency of fast-food consumption and overnutrition. Conclusions: Pocket money is correlate with overnutrition among junior high students. Keywords: fast-food, frequency of consumption, overnutrition, pocket money Correspondence: Dias Puspitaning Mawarni. Universitas Pembangunan Nasional “Veteran’, South Jakarta 12450, Indonesia.
