3.1. Adherence to Intervention Messages
Data from the post-intervention food records showed 21 out of 35 participants who completed the eight week program adhered to the dietary intervention messages by increasing their fruit intake by at least 0.25 of a serve from pre-intervention levels. For vegetables, 17 out of 35 participants who completed the program increased their intake by at least 0.25 of a serve and 24 out of 35 participants reduced their junk food intake by at least 0.5 of a serve. The rate of adherence was reduced at 12 months post-intervention (see Figure 2).
