The problem
Intervention: One-week intensive experiential culinary education summer camp using a competency-based framework and child-centered approach to teach food preparation skills across six domains
Who it was tested with: 88 children aged 8-12 attending a university-based culinary summer camp.
The same group is measured before the intervention and again afterwards, with a baseline and an endline and sometimes a midline. Change is visible, but other causes cannot be ruled out.
"A single-arm, baseline-to-endpoint study design was used to evaluate change in food literacy skills among children aged 8-12 attending a one-week culinary summer camp. Paired-samples t-tests were conducted to evaluate changes." The study measured children's food literacy skills before and after the one-week intervention using observational scoring, finding statistically significant improvements across all measured domains.
No comparison group to isolate the intervention effect; single week duration limits assessment of sustained change; no follow-up beyond the intervention period; no measurement of actual eating behaviour change, only skill proficiency
