“…The results of the study are consistent with the studies of Frenn M and Greene JD (22)(23)(24). Therefore, it may be necessary to spend more time justifying and training to increase the score of decisional balance (25)(26)(27). The mass media can help increase the pros of reduction in the consumption of fast food in adolescents.…”

Background: The number of reported food illnesses in Iran has increased over the past 10 years. Objectives: The present study aimed at investigating the effect of education, based on the transtheoretical model (TTM) and the theory of planned behaviour (subjective norm and perceived behavioural control), on reducing fast food consumption in obese Iranian female adolescents. Methods: In this quasi-experimental study, data were collected through a survey. This study included 420 obese Iranian female adolescents, aged 15 to 18 years, who were gathered from 12 schools in city of Sabzevar in Iran during 2014 tand 2016. Using a questionnaire, the demographic and anthropometric characteristics, transtheoretical model (TTM) constructs, subjective norm, and perceived behavioural control were measured and analysed.

“…In two similar studies, 65 and 66 percent of people were in active stages. [15,16] In other studies, people in active stages were more than in the present study. [12,[17][18][19] It seems that lower education and higher household members are important factors in distribution of people across stages of change for fruit and vegetable consumption in this study.…”

BACKGROUNDConsumption of fruits and vegetables is associated with the reduction of many chronic diseases. Transtheoretical model is one of the most common models used for studies on nutrition. The objective of this study is to evaluate the processes of change across stages of change for fruits and vegetables consumption. MATERIALS AND METHODS600 literate women of Gilan-e-Gharb city (a west part of Iran) who were selected by random sampling method participated in this cross-sectional study. Data gathering tools was a questionnaire that consisted of 30 questions which included demographic (n= 5), stages of change (n= 5) and processes of change (n= 20) as well as 24 hours recall questionnaire for fruits and vegetables consumption. We assessed the internal consistency questions using Cronbach's Alpha and validity by S-CVI. Statistical analysis used: Data were analysed by SPSS 19 using the T-test, ANOVA and Chi-square. RESULTSThe majority of subjects (89.5%) belonged to the passive stages of change (pre-contemplation, contemplation and preparation) and only 10.5 percent were in active stages (action and maintenance). Average daily consumption of fruits and vegetables was 3.4 ± 0.96 servings, which was lowest in pre-contemplators and increased until the maintenance stage (p < .001). Mean score of cognitive and behavioural processes were higher in maintenance stage and lower in pre-contemplation stage. CONCLUSIONGiven the important role of the cognitive and behavioural processes in promoting people from passive stages to active stages of change, we suggest implementation of these processes by using appropriate strategies in educational intervention for promoting consumption of fruits and vegetables.

“…As there is some evidence that stage of change is a predictor of fruit and vegetable intake (14) and that intervention strategies can be more successful when targeted to a particular stage of change (25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31)(32)35,37,38,52) , there are a number of key learnings from the present study that lend weight to the argument for focusing predominantly on vegetable consumption.…”

“…These questions rely on self-report. Although they do not provide as accurate an estimate of absolute consumption as more detailed dietary assessment tools, they have been found to be able to discriminate between groups with significantly different intakes of fruit and vegetables, rank individuals reasonably well and are widely accepted for use in populationbased surveys (51)(52)(53) . Perception of fruit and vegetable intake was measured by asking the parent whether they thought the amount of fruit (or vegetables) they currently eat was 'too little', 'about right' or 'too much'.…”

“…Single items or short questions were used to determine fruit and vegetable consumption rather than a longer tool such as an FFQ or 24 h recall. Short questions do not give as accurate an estimate of absolute intakes and this should be taken into account when interpreting these data (51)(52)(53) . Finally, the data were derived from a regional centre in NSW and the results may not be generalisable across a broader population.…”

Objective: The aim of the present study was to investigate whether fruit and vegetables should be treated as separate groups in health promotion programmes by examining consumption levels, barriers, knowledge and the association between stage of change and potential predictors of fruit and vegetable intake. Design: Computer-assisted telephone interview survey of the target population. Setting: Hunter and New England regions of New South Wales, Australia. Subjects: A total of 1403 parents and carers of primary-school-aged children. Results: Consumption levels and knowledge of recommended intakes and serving size were greater for fruit than for vegetables. There were some differences in the main barriers to the consumption of fruit compared with those cited for vegetables. There was little congruence between the stages of change for fruit consumption and those for vegetable consumption. For fruit, knowledge of serving size and recommended intake, perceptions of adequate consumption, changes made to family intake and educational attainment were all correlated with stage of change categorisation. For vegetables, knowledge of recommended intake, perceptions of adequate consumption and changes made to family intake were correlated with stage of change categorisation. Conclusions: Significant differences in consumption levels, barriers, knowledge and stages of readiness for change can be shown when fruit and vegetables are treated as separate groups. Health promotion planners may need to consider interventions that focus on improving vegetable consumption in preference to fruit consumption. Messages about the recommended number of servings and serving size must be simplified and this may be achieved by targeting messages towards vegetable consumption.
