Cover Story: Optimising nutrition education in primary schools creates an opportunity to help improve children’s dietary habits and contribute to preventing weight gain throughout life. However, it is unclear how children and parents feel about nutrition education in school and at home, and what is required for implementing an appealing nutrition education program in schools. This study combined qualitative and quantitative methods to collect data on gaps in children’s nutrition knowledge and the attitudes, feelings, concerns and desires of both the children and their parents in regards to nutrition (education). Several knowledge gaps were identified and themes regarding the views on nutrition education emerge from the semi-structured interviews and are discussed. View this paper.
