Background: Intuitive eating is associated with improved physical and psychological health. Previous studies indicate that intuitive eating inventions promote mindful eating habits and reduce disorder eating patterns.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess changes in Intuitive Eating Scale scores among USU Landscape Architecture and Environmental Planning (LAEP) students following a 1-hour Intuitive Eating Education Intervention.
Methods: Participants will complete the Intuitive Eating Scale 2 questionnaire at the beginning of the semester, and 2 weeks after a 1-hour Intuitive Eating educational intervention. The survey consisted of 21 statements regarding eating habits and behaviors to which participants rate their level of agreement. A paired t-test will be used to evaluate changes in Intuitive Eating Scale 2 scores from the pre and post intuitive eating education.
Expected Results: We anticipate that the intuitive eating presentation will result in improved intuitive eating post-survey scores.
