Abstract

Introduction: Fruit and vegetable consumption is a key modifiable behavior that can help in the prevention of a range of non-communicable diseases. Long-haul drivers are particularly at risk of unhealthy eating yet this population has received limited attention in the literature. We aimed to explore the mechanisms of long-haul drivers’ fruit and vegetable consumption using an innovative three-phase model of health behavior. The current investigation is one of the first to test a multi-phase, multi-theory model combining motivational, volitional, and automatic processes to better understand health behavior decision making. Methods: Participants comprised Australian men aged 19 years and older who drove a heavy vehicle for at least 200 km in a daily work period. Drivers were recruited using a variety of means (e.g., face-to-face, workplaces, social-media) and completed either a paper-based or online version of the survey. Aprospective design with two waves of data collection spaced one week apart was adopted.
Results: Structural equation modelling revealed key constructs from each of the motivational, volitional, and automatic processes significant in predicting fruit and vegetable consumption among long-haul drivers as well as determined the mechanisms by which these processes operate.
Conclusions: The current study used an integrated theoretical approach to develop and test a model based on a multi-phase, multi-theory framework that explained a key healthy eating behavior in a high-risk group of men. Adopting such an approach is innovative and rides on the cusp of very recent research that advocates using multiple theories to develop comprehensive models of behavior change.
