Nutrition educators can better engage adolescents by understanding their unique needs and perspectives. This approach moves beyond one-way information delivery to create relevant nutrition education materials adolescents will use.

Area of Science:

  • Nutrition Education
  • Communication Theory

Background:

  • Disseminating nutrition information to adolescents is challenging.
  • Traditional "one-way street" methods are often ineffective.
  • Adolescents need to relate nutrition messages to their own lives.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine adolescents' perceived nutrition concerns using a communication theory model.
  • To identify how adolescents navigate food, nutrition, and eating situations.
  • To inform the design of effective adolescent nutrition education.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized Brenda Dervin's "sense-making" theory.
  • Interviewed adolescents aged 14-16 across six states.
  • Identified situation "movement states" to understand adolescents' coping mechanisms.

Main Results:

  • Adolescents' personal situations concerning food and eating were recorded.
  • Qualitative "movement states" revealed how adolescents dealt with nutrition-related issues.
  • The "sense-making" approach provided insight into adolescents' perceived nutrition needs.

Conclusions:

  • The "sense-making" theoretical base can help nutrition educators identify adolescent needs.
  • This approach can guide the development of more relevant and effective nutrition education materials.
  • Understanding adolescents' perspectives is key to successful nutrition communication.
