Children and healthy eating : a systematic review of barriers and facilitators

This report describes a systematic review surveying what is known about the barriers to and facilitators of healthy eating amongst children aged four to ten years old. It reviews the research available that has analysed the barriers and facilitators experienced by young people in relation to diets that include fruit and vegetables and how the over-consumption of high fat and high energy foods has led to rising proportions of children classed as obese. Published in October 2003, the report was produced by the EPPI-Centre, the Evidence of Policy and Practice Information and Co-ordinating Centre which is part of the Social Science Research unit based at the Institute of Education, University of London.
