Dietary behaviours are influenced by a complex interplay of psychological, social, and environmental factors. Understanding these determinants is essential for designing effective interventions that promote healthy eating habits and prevent diet-related diseases.
The Behavioural Nutrition special collection aims to explore the psychological, social, and environmental factors influencing dietary behaviours and food choices. By identifying barriers to adopting and maintaining a nutritious diet and developing evidence-based strategies for behaviour change, we can empower individuals to make healthier food choices and improve their overall well-being.
We invite submissions that investigate the determinants of dietary behaviour change, interventions to promote healthy eating habits, and strategies to address barriers to adopting and maintaining a nutritious diet.
