Abstract

The Breakfast Club of the Seoul Metropolitan Government aims to provide breakfast and nutrition education to students who require need breakfast. This study was conducted to explore the experience of changes at the individual and environmental levels among high-school participants of the Breakfast Club. The qualitative data were collected from 20 high school students (10 boys and 10 girls) via a focus group interview at each school. Experienced improvement and suggested future tasks from the experience of the Breakfast Club were categorized at three levels (themes): personal factors, school environmental factors, and home environmental factors. The health belief, knowledege, awareness, and perception of effects of the participants showed improvement but the personal barriers need to be improved. At the school level, peer influence and school food policies were improved but some aspects of availability and accessibility for breakfast, and social norms need to be improved. The factors related to the home environment, such as family influence, and availability and accessibility for breakfast were better after the program. The Breakfast Club changed not only personal behaviors but also the family and school environments.
