Measures healthy eating behavior in adolescents
Adolescent Food Habits Checklist (AFHC)
Do people have healthy food habits?
The Adolescent Food Habits Checklist (AFHC) is a 23-question measure of the the quality of young people's diets. The questions measure one variable: healthy food habits. This survey can be used to explore relationships between healthy food habits and variables like physical activity, focus/concentration, or stress. Past research suggests that adolescents who perceived more positive parenting behaviors in their families also report more healthy food habits (Morton et al., 2012).

Calculation:
The score is determined by adding up the "healthy" responses. Because there are 23 True or False questions, the score will range from 0-23.
- AFHC_healthy_food_habits: Participants receive one point for each "healthy" response. The final score is adjusted for "not applicable" and missing responses using the formula: AFHC score=no of ‘healthy’ responses×(23/no. of items completed).
