A lead moderator using a semistructured script conducted the focus groups to determine what information...

Children's Food Preferences and Education Programs
Our Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior (JNEB) authors have a long history of research with young children and their eating habits to inform the best educational strategies to mold behavior.
