CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: Lifestyle includes the personal attitudes or behavioral patterns that result in risks or benefits to the individual's own health or that of others. Children's health is particularly determined by their mother's lifestyle. The objective here was to develop and evaluate the reliability of a questionnaire capable of describing the lifestyles of preschoolers' mothers in terms of their activities, interests, opinions and values. DESIGN AND SETTING: Cross-sectional study conducted in a public university. METHODS: This study was conducted between January 2010 and March 2011, among 255 mothers of preschoolers living in the southeastern region of the municipality of São Paulo. A proportional stratified random probabilistic sample with two strata was selected: schools were drawn and then the children. Three instruments found in the literature were used to create the lifestyle questionnaire. The questionnaire was developed in eight stages: preliminary pretest, cultural adaptation, second pretest, pilot study, semantic correction and adaptation, third pretest, final research and final retest. Cronbach's alpha and pairwise correlation coefficients were used. RESULTS: The Cronbach's alpha value in the final version was 0.83 and the pre and post-test pairwise correlation coefficients were greater than 0.5. Factor analysis identified five factors that explained 73.51% of the correlation variance. As a result, seven variables were eliminated from the questionnaire. CONCLUSIONS: The questionnaire described five lifestyle domains, with good reliability, and can be used in combination with preschoolers' health and nutritional outcomes. RESUMO

The importance of food in vacation decision-making: Involvement, lifestyles and destination activity preferences of international Slow Food members

Food is an important topic in the field of tourism, and has also been studied in many other disciplines. While most tourism literature considers food as an important motivating factor to travel, researchers such as McKercher, Okumus, and Okumus (2008) have suggested that the methods used to study food tourists do not examine the reasons for travel; instead they provide only tenuous causal relationships between actions (visiting a food destination) and motives (wanting to eat food).Thus, a more holistic approach to studying food tourists is required to better define the relationship between tourists' motivation to travel to a destination and their participation in food-related experiences. Therefore, this study examines the vacation decision-making of a group of Slow Food members with a high interest in food in terms of how they select their vacation destinations and their activities in those destinations.Vacation decision-making is a complex process with different stages. Of the different decisionmaking models available to study this process, the FLAG (fits-like-a-glove) theory was adopted as the framework in this study. This model has a naturalistic approach that considers decision-making as a process, and that each individual's decision is influenced by their past experiences (Woodside, 2006). While many underlying variables influence decision-making, two that require further investigation are involvement and lifestyle.This study aimed to understand how food is important in the vacation decision-making of Slow Food members; thus, it examined Slow Food members' destination activity preferences based on their involvement and lifestyle. The Slow Food movement is a non-profit foundation with over 20 years of history and over 100,000 members in 150 countries around the world. The philosophy of Slow Food is based on acquiring 'good, clean and fair' food. "Good food is defined as being tasty and diverse, and produced in such a way as to maximise its flavour and connections to a geographic and cultural region. Clean food is sustainable, helping to preserve rather than destroy the environment, while fair food is produced in socially sustainable ways that emphasise social justice and fair wages" (Schneider, 2008, p. 390).In order to achieve its aim and objectives, the study adopted a mixed methods exploratory research approach. In Phase 1, 40 interviews were conducted with international Slow Food members from four continents to identify their vacation decision-making, food-related lifestyle, travel lifestyle and destination activity preferences. Data analysed in Phase 1 was used in the development of a destination activity preferences scale included in Phase 2. In Phase 2, an online survey of Slow Food members and an on-site survey of non-Slow Food participants were carried out. These surveys iii collected 337 valid responses from international Slow Food members and 207 valid responses from non-Slow Food participants.Thematic analysis was employed to analyse the qualitative data collected in Phase 1 assisted by ...
