Food Environment and Sport (FEAST) study

About us

The Food Environment and Sport (FEAST) study aims to assess how the food environment, including marketing and provision of foods, in an organised sport setting impacts children's food and nutrition behaviour. A mixed-methods approach will be used, including Photovoice and a cross-sectional survey, to determine the children's viewpoint as well as parental attitudes and perceptions of their children's food environment in organised sport settings.
