Thesis (Ph.D.)--Indiana University, 2011.

Although dark green leafy vegetables (DGLV) protect against chronic diseases, consumption is low among Americans. African-American women 18 years of age or older, living in Marion County, Indiana who buy and prepare food for their household were surveyed to examine their intention to eat and buy more DGLVs; and explore spatial factors that may be associated with eating DGLVs. Descriptive, inferential and spatial analyses were conducted to describe the sample and consumption; identify the Reasoned Action Approach (RAA) associates of intention; and assess participants' access to food stores offering fruits and vegetables. Cases with missing data were excluded from spatial analyses. Participants (n=410) were an average of 43 years of age, half had at least 1 chronic disease and they ate an average of 1.5 cups of DGLVs in the last three days. RAA global constructs explained 60.9% of the variance in intention to eat more DGLVs, with attitude and self-efficacy having statistically significant relative weights. RAA global constructs explained 71.2 % of the variance in intention to buy more DGLVs, with attitude and self-efficacy having significant weights. In their neighborhood food environment, over three-quarters of women lived closer to food stores that sold less than five types of fruits and vegetables daily. Interestingly, women in the study did not rely on the food store closest to their household that sold five or more fruits and vegetables for DGLVs. Instead, they purchased DGLVs from food stores that were an average of 1.2 miles further. Consumption of DGLVs was only associated with demographic factors. Interventions to promote DGLVs should focus on changing attitudes and increasing self-efficacy. Future studies should use methods that recognize multiple factors influencing eating and buying DGLVs among African-American women who buy and prepare food for their household living in Marion County, Indiana.
