Abstract

This study looks into the relationship between mother's nutrition knowledge and the actual situation of snacks consumption by mothers living in Daegu and Gyeongbuk. The data were analyzed by statistical methods such as frequency, percentage, Chi-square, ANOVA and Duncan with the SPSS Windows 19.0 program. Regarding level of education, most of the subjects in the 'High' and 'Medium' Groups were university graduates, whereas most of those in the 'Low' Group were college graduates. Most of the subjects ate used processed snacks, produced snacks, or cooked snacks themselves, and most added fruits, followed by milk products and confectionery as snacks. Most of the subjects were satisfied with their experiences of purchasing snacks for children. In selecting the snacks, most of them attached importance to 'balanced nutrition', followed by 'food additives', 'allergy', and 'sanitation.' These results show that nutrition education is necessary for choosing correct and good quality snacks for children.
