超重和不健康的饮食是许多癌症的危险因素，在高收入国家中，这两种情况在低收入家庭中更为普遍。针对小学生（11岁以下）的膳食干预措施可以改善健康饮食行为，但大多数措施并不旨在帮助他们将在课堂上学到的技能运用到家庭环境中。本文评估了家庭烹饪和饮食态度与方法，以及通过COOKKIT干预措施增强健康饮食的可能性。COOKKIT是一种为低收入家庭提供每周烹饪课程和支持材料的干预措施，旨在帮助他们在家中保持健康饮食。在英国的多所小学中，对教师和家长-子女队列进行了初步的定性访谈，以探讨健康饮食的态度、障碍和促进因素，并为COOKKIT的开发提供信息。实施后，共有十名八九岁的儿童参与了后期干预焦点小组讨论，同时还进行了对教学人员和家长的访谈。主题分析确定了五个主题，用于讨论儿童对食物、烹饪和COOKKIT的影响的体验：让孩子参与计划和购买家庭食物；让孩子参与在家烹饪餐饮；在忙碌的生活中努力一起享用健康餐；榜样的作用；在传授烹饪课程时平衡实践、信息和参与度。研究结果表明，COOKKIT为儿童和学校工作人员提供了有趣且易于跟随的校内资源，并通过提供带回家的材料包，促进了持续参与并强化了在家环境中学到的知识。重要的是，参与者强调健康饮食信息、实践技能和低成本的结合可以支持家庭在干预结束后继续遵循COOKKIT的建议，这表明需要进一步评估COOKKIT的效果。© 2023.

Excess weight and an unhealthy diet are risk factors for many cancers, and in high income countries, both are more prevalent among low income families. Dietary interventions targeting primary-school aged children (under 11) can improve healthy eating behaviours, but most are not designed to support the translation of skills learnt in the classroom to the home setting. This paper assessed attitudes and approaches to cooking and eating at home, and the potential to enhance engagement in healthy eating through the COOKKIT intervention.COOKKIT is an intervention to deliver weekly cooking classes and supportive materials for low-income families to maintain healthy eating at home. Preliminary qualitative interviews were conducted with teachers and parent-child dyads from a range of primary schools in the UK to explore attitudes, barriers and facilitators for healthy eating and inform the development of COOKKIT. Following implementation, ten children (8-9 y/o) participated in post-intervention focus groups, alongside interviews with teaching staff and parents.Thematic analysis identified five themes under which to discuss the children's experience of food, cooking and the impact of COOKKIT: Involving children in planning and buying food for the family; Engaging children in preparing meals at home; Trying to eat healthy meals together in the midst of busy lives; Role-modelling; and Balancing practicalities, information and engagement when delivering cooking classes.Results suggest COOKKIT provides engaging and easy to follow in-school resources for children and school staff with take-home kits facilitating continued engagement and reinforcing lessons learned in the home environment. Importantly, participants highlighted the combination of healthy eating information, applied practical skills and low costs could support families to continue following the COOKKIT advice beyond the intervention, suggesting further evaluation of COOKKIT is warranted.© 2023.
