本研究的主要目的在了解ㄧ個營養教育介入對大一學生的營養知識及飲食行為的影響。研究以中部地區某大學ㄧ年級修習「健康生活」的四個班級學生為對象,共212人(男生81人,女生131人)。隨機抽取兩班(121人)為實驗組,另兩班(91人)為對照組。實驗組班級接受營養教育課程,內容包括健康飲食、食物與營養素、疾病與飲食、食品營養標示與體重控制等五大主題,課程介入為期三週。研究工具為研究者自編的測驗卷,其中包括一個營養知識量表及一個飲食行為量表以及若干與健康有關的自評題目。收集的資料以百分比、T考驗、one-way ANOVA及Pearson’s correlation進行統計分析。經前、後測得分及組別間得分差異分析發現,營養教育的介入對大一學生營養知識有顯著增進,對飲食行為則無顯著影響。大一學生營養知識偏低,正向飲食行為有較佳的表現。營養知識與性別及飲食型態有關。
