Abstract | The central focus of the Red Apple Healthy Lifestyles Program (RAHLP) was the delivery of practical activities on healthy eating, cooking, promoting sustainable changes in health and shopping behaviours among low socio economic families and young people in the rural communities. The study aimed to answer the questions: how do the activities offered by the RAHLP a) increase the knowledge and skills of participants to better adopt healthy eating behaviours, b) increase parents’ ability to establish healthy eating behaviours in their children? The study also aimed to identify any barriers to the adoption of healthy eating choices. Convenience sampling was utilised to access a cross sectional sample of approximately 200 participants and finally a total of 176 people participated in the program. |
