Nutrition Information Sources Used by Adolescents.
Thomsen, Patrice A.; And Others
Home Economics Research Journal, v16 n3 p215-21 Mar 1988
Sources from which adolescents receive general nutrition information and from which they are most likely to seek specific information were examined. Data were collected from 163 14- to 18-year-old subjects; over 90 percent reported having learned about nutrition in a school course. Other frequently cited sources were television, parents, labels on food packages, magazines, and radio. (Author/CH)
