dc.description.abstractAbstract: The objective of this study was to evaluate how the young adolescent students get information about healthy eating. The study was done by a questionnaire, which was previously approved for application in schools. The sample consisted of 345 students, aged between 13 and 15 years. Factor analysis allowed concluding that the variables used to assess the sources of information about healthy eating can be grouped into two factors: one linked to learning outside of school and the other associated with learning in school. The Cronbach's alphas were 0.661 and 0.676, respectively. Cluster analysis showed that the adolescents can be divided into four groups: cluster 1-students well informed both by school and external sources; cluster 2-students misinformed either by school or by external sources; cluster 3-students misinformed by school but well informed by external sources, cluster 4-students well informed by school but barely by external sources. The findings in the present work may allow improving the way information about healthy eating can reach the adolescents, and hence improve their general degree of knowledge and wellbeing.pt_PT
