Adherence
Web-based computer-tailored nutrition education significantly increases personal awareness of dietary intake (fat, fruit, vegetables) and intention to change compared to general, non-tailored nutrition information.
To motivate dietary change, use a web-based tool that provides personalized feedback on your specific fat, fruit, and vegetable intake compared to recommendations. This tailored approach is more effective than general advice because it increases personal awareness and relevance, leading to stronger intentions to change. You do not need advanced computer skills to benefit from this method.
Significant differences in awareness and intention to change were found between the intervention and control group at post-test. The tailored intervention was appreciated better, was rated as more personally relevant, and had more subjective impact on opinion and intentions to change than the general nutrition information.
Why this rating
Randomized controlled trial with pre-test/post-test control group design, though limited to immediate post-test and self-reported behavioral determinants rather than long-term health outcomes.
