The purposes of this descriptive study were to (1) describe nutrition knowledge, attitudes, beliefs (KAB), and self-efficacy among low-income African American and Hispanic women; (2) identify the associations these variables have on diet quality and weight status; (3) identify barriers to healthy eating.
Data from three separate studies were combined and analyzed.
The total sample included African Americans (N=92) and Hispanics (N=272).
Descriptive statistics and bivariate analyses were used to identify associations between KAB and body mass index (BMI) and diet quality.
The majority of African Americans had good knowledge in nutrition while Hispanics had fair knowledge.
Attitudes toward eating a healthy diet were significantly associated with high fiber intake among African Americans and low fat consumption among Hispanics.
A computed KAB score showed no significant relation to individuals' weight status or diet quality.
However, attitudes and beliefs about healthy foods strongly correlated with participants' weight or diet consumption among Hispanics.
The most common barrier to consuming a healthy diet reported by both groups was the cost of healthy foods.
It is therefore recommended to address these variables when addressing obesity and poor dietary intake among low-income minority groups.
