Popis: The Pediatric Barriers to a Healthy Diet Scale (PBHDS) is a 17-item measure developed to assess barriers to healthy dietary habits as perceived by overweight and obese children and adolescents. This study presents preliminary descriptive, psychometric, and factor analytic data for the PBHDS based on a sample of 171 overweight and obese children. The measure provides a Total Barriers score, as well as subscale scores for Access and Desire factors. The Total Barriers score and subscale scores demonstrate adequate internal consistency and convergent validity. Use of the PBHDS can have significant implications for clinicians and researchers involved in program development and the treatment of children struggling with adherence to dietary treatment recommendations.
