| Popis: | Objective To develop an algorithm for determining the stage of change for dietary fat intake in African-American women. Design We examined the relationships between stage of change, dietary fat intake, and associated eating behaviors and developed an assessment tool for placing subjects in their appropriate stage of change. Subjects Working class and middle-income African-American women in Nashville, Tenn; 174 in study 1 and 208 in study 2. Statistical analyses Fat and fiber intake by stage of change was examined using multivariate analysis of variance. Hierarchical cluster analysis was performed using Ward's method. Results A significant difference in fat intake was noted between women trying to change their intake and those not trying to change in study 1 ( P P Applications/conclusions These data support the stage construct of the Transtheoretical Model for dietary fat reduction in African-American women. Moreover, the Eating Styles Questionnaire (ESQ) can improve determination of stage of change for this group of women. The ESQ can be used to diagnose the eating styles that contribute to a high-fat intake and help in the design of interventions to lower fat intakes. J Am Diet Assoc. 1999;99:1392–1399 . |
