Through in-depth interviews on food routines in early adolescence, participants were found to be influenced by family, settings, and meals consumed. While some had highly established routines throughout the week, others only described routines for specific meals or days. The study indicates that early adolescents have complex food routines influenced by structures and different amounts of control.
Early adolescence (ages 10-14) encompasses a critical transition period in which food and nutrition decisions are shifting in important ways. Food routines are food-based activities that repeat across days, weeks, seasons, or lives. Examining routines can provide insight into how individuals are influenced in food choices. The objective of this study was to describe current influences on and experiences with food routines during early adolescence. In-depth interviews, using a photo-elicitation approach, were conducted with 30 participants (16 females; 14 males) in the United States. Participants took photos that were then used during the interview to describe food-related decisions and influences. Interviews were audio recorded and transcribed verbatim. Analysis was guided by a grounded theory approach to identify emergent themes related to routines and resulted in the development of a conceptual model for early adolescent food routines. Participants identified a wide range of routines and three main themes emerged: family, settings, and meals/foods consumed. Some had highly established routines throughout the week, while others described routines only for certain meals or days. Several participants described increased control or the ability to modify routines around some eating episodes such as snacks, lunches, and weekend breakfasts. Findings revealed how participants viewed eating routines and provided information about food-and nutrition-related behaviors that can inform future research and practice. Early adolescents appear to have complex food routines influenced by structures and different amounts of control.
