My name is Marcela Bomfim and I am a PhD student working under the supervision of Professor Dr James Wallace at the School of Public Health and Health Systems, in the Department of Applied Health Sciences. I am emailing you all today because I’m seeking volunteers who have an interest in nutrition and are willing to participate in a study which focuses on the understanding of the effects of a nutrition application in awareness, knowledge, and skills for planning and selecting healthier food options in groceries. This research will hopefully lead to a better understanding of how to better design mobile nutrition applications to be used during shopping and eventually be used to help students make healthier and more sustainable food choices during grocery shopping. If you volunteer as a participant in this study, you will be asked to answer a set of questions on paper, use a mobile application before and while shopping, and give us feedback about the application. These questions are r...
