3. Résumé

«Throughout the duration of Team Nutriathlon, students were introduced to strategies that enabled them to more easily achieve their goals. In our study, students reported that the strategies provided by teachers, parents, researchers and those discovered by themselves were factors facilitating the consumption of V/F and M/A. Developing strategies or “practical skills” (e.g. adding more V/F in the lunch box) and obtaining support from teachers and parents would allow students to increase their V/F consumption.» (p. 8) «During interviews, [s]everal students mentioned the importance of parental input during the program. Moreover, parents were involved in different ways with the adolescents by encouraging them to eat more V/F and M/A, reminding them to note their results on the website, increasing the amount of V/F during meals at home and in lunch boxes and buying more healthy foods at the grocery store.» (p. 7) Indirectly, this study indicates that «[p]arents, through their influence on food accessibility, support and being a role model may directly influence the consumption of certain foods.» (p. 8)
