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. |
