Summary
Background: The FIT Game is a multicomponent school-based incentive program aimed at increasing children’s fruit and vegetable (FV) intake. There has been no previous report on how playing the game at school influences FV intake away from school. Aim: To examine children’s ( n=37) FV intake away from school while participating in the FIT Game program at school. Methods: FV intake away from school was assessed using the ASA24-Kids-2014 Dietary Assessment Tool.
