This study developed a consumer-focused intervention to boost fruit and vegetable (FV) intake in families. Cognitive mapping identified key perceptions and family types to tailor strategies for increasing FV consumption.

Area of Science:

  • Nutrition Science
  • Behavioral Science
  • Health Intervention Design

Background:

  • Low fruit and vegetable (FV) intake is a public health concern.
  • Developing effective, tailored interventions is crucial for dietary behavior change.
  • Understanding consumer perceptions of FV is key to intervention design.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a consumer-oriented intervention aimed at increasing fruit and vegetable (FV) intake among families.
  • To utilize a cognitive-mapping approach to inform intervention development and tailoring strategies.
  • To identify key perceptions and family typologies influencing FV consumption.

Main Methods:

  • Employed a cognitive-mapping approach to define intervention objectives and tailoring strategies.

  • Utilized Multidimensional Scaling (MDS) and hierarchical cluster analysis to understand FV perceptions.
  • Applied K-means cluster analysis to identify distinct family types.

    • Main Results:

    • FV perceptions were organized into 6 clusters across 3 dimensions.
    • 11 key perceptions, along with family functioning measures, explained 18% of the variance in parent FV intake.
    • Four distinct family types were identified through cluster analysis.

    Conclusions:

    • Cognitive mapping offers a systematic method for integrating qualitative data into tailored intervention design.
    • This approach can enhance the development of targeted strategies for increasing fruit and vegetable consumption.
    • Understanding family-specific perceptions and functioning is vital for effective dietary interventions.
