Good communication between health care providers (HCPs) and patients is critical in achieving positive health outcomes.
The purpose of this article was to compare the perceptions of Chilean woman and their HCPs with respect to determinants
of eating behaviors. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with women (n15) visiting a public health care center in
Chile and with their HCPs (n8) who were in charge of promoting healthy eating behaviors among women. Data from the
interviews indicated similarities and inconsistencies in determinants of eating behaviors between the groups.
