THE HEALTHY EATING GOAL-SETTING AND THE PLANNING AND SCHEDULING SCALES FOR MEAS...
Østbye, Truls; Stroo, Marissa; Stankevitz, Kayla; Malhotra, Rahul; Brouwer, RebeccaObjectives: Healthy eating is a central target in many obesity interventions. Self-regulation is supported by theory and research as a key factor in behavior change. While a measure of self-regulation for physical activity has been developed, no such measure exists to quantify self-regulation for healthy eating. The aim of this research was to develop and validate two scales, one for Goal-setting (HEGS), and on...

Methods For this analysis, we poo...
