Children's perceptions of the Northern Fruit and Vegetable Program in Ontario, Canada.

Abstract:

OBJECTIVE:This study examined students' perceptions of and suggestions for the Northern Fruit and Vegetable Program, a free, school-based fruit and vegetable snack program implemented in elementary schools in 2 regions of northern Ontario, Canada. METHODS:This was a qualitative study involving 18 focus groups with students in 11 elementary schools in the Porcupine region and 7 schools in the Algoma region. One hundred thirty-nine students from grades 5-8 participated in this study. Inductive content analysis was used to identify key themes. RESULTS:Children perceived the Northern Fruit and Vegetable Program to be a valuable program that allowed them to try new fruits and vegetables (FVs). Participants stated they now eat more FVs at home and at school. Participants would like the program offered more frequently and with more variety. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS:Although children identified several areas for program improvement, they generally perceived the program to be positive and valuable in promoting FV consumption.
