Insight on Food : An analysis of the nutritional knowledge of first year students living in Totem Park Residence
Notice bibliographique
Résumé
Many undergraduate students lack the ability to appropriately assess, prioritize, and improve their level of nutrition according to research on Canadian campuses (Boland et al. 2014). Undergraduate admission at UBC has increased significantly in recent years. Since many of these students are away from home for the first time, support to encourage judicious food choices may be in order. Though many other Canadian universities have conducted studies assessing nutritional knowledge in undergraduates with relevance to Canadian Food Guide groups and individual nutrients, no existing literature was found to compare levels of knowledge regarding multiple nutrients within a single study. In addition, no known studies relating to nutrition literacy have been conducted at any of UBC’s residences. The main goal of this study was to highlight the nutritional knowledge gap of first-year students in residence nearing the completion of their academic year to help guide future nutritional education initiatives. Specific objectives include elucidating student’s level of familiarity with individual nutrients (vitamin D, calcium, omega-3 fatty acids, sodium, fibre, and iron) and the sources of these nutrients in the dining hall. The specific nutrients were chosen in collaboration with Ms. Nicole Fetterly, Registered Dietician and Manager of Nutrition & Wellness at UBC Student Housing and Hospitality Services. The data provides a snapshot of the nutritional knowledge of UBC’s first-year student in residence. The survey took place at Totem Park Residence dining hall with 125 first year students participating in March 2016. The survey was designed to address confidence in nutritional knowledge and, for students who felt somewhat or very confident, test actual knowledge on sources of specific nutrients. There was a clear nutritional knowledge deficit specifically regarding calcium, iron, protein and vitamin D. The general trends observed were summarized in four categories: nutrients with high confidence and knowledge levels (fibre and sodium); high confidence and low knowledge levels (protein); nutrients with low confidence and high knowledge levels (omega-3 fatty acids); and nutrients with low confidence and knowledge levels (calcium, iron and vitamin D). Our findings demonstrate the importance of establishing measures to improve nutrition knowledge of first-year students at UBC. The results of this survey can be used to help guide the establishment of future programs and services, directly contributing to the health and well-being of the undergraduate population, during and beyond their university careers. We recommend public display such as signage and posters, peer health educators and cooking demonstrations. Future research on the impact of cultural background on food choices and understanding of nutrient functions is also strongly recommended.

Imitation des enseignantsNi prévalence calibrée, ni vérité terrain. Validation humaine à venir. Le volet Gemma est une étiquette directe du modèle pour chaque travail de la base, lue sur la notice réduite au titre. Le volet Codex est un classifieur appris des 10 348 étiquettes directes de Codex et calibré sur les taux pondérés de l'échantillon; les champs sans appui suffisant ne portent aucun appel Codex. Le mode candidate est l'union des deux volets; le consensus est leur intersection. Ces sorties portent le statut machine_predicted_unvalidated et ne sont pas des étiquettes humaines.
