Design Quasi-experimental. Setting Two schools in Bilbao, Spain. Participants A total of 202 children (aged 8–9 years) participated in the study (43% girls), with 99 in the nutrition education (NE) group and 103 in the hands-on (HO) group. Intervention Three 1-hour workshops (1 workshop/wk), different for each group: HO, cooking-related activities, and NE, healthy habits promotion through nutrition education activities. Main Outcome Measures Food neophobia, diet quality, cooking self-efficacy and attitudes toward cooking, and food intake and selection of the experimental lunches. Analysis Chi-square test of independence, ANCOVA, and t tests were performed. Results Students from the HO group selected and ate more spinach/broccoli (P < 0.001 and P = 0.02, respectively) for the first lunch; and selected more spinach/broccoli (P = 0.04) for the second lunch. After the intervention, improvements were observed for spinach liking and neophobia for the HO group and cooking self-efficacy and KidMed score for both groups. Conclusions and Implications Both interventions succeeded in improving children's diet quality, but only the HO group reduced food neophobia levels. Therefore, involving children in choosing a recipe, purchasing ingredients, and cooking may promote changing eating behaviors toward healthy habits such as increasing vegetable consumption.The authors would like to acknowledge the support to conduct this study from the Basque Government.Elsevier202420242021info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10810/68197reponame:Addi.
