Development and validation of a questionnaire assessing eating pleasure dimensions in the adult French-speaking population of the province of Québec, Canada

PurposeThis study aimed to improve understanding of the phenomenon of food well-being (FWB) (conceptualization, measurement, antecedents and outcomes) so as to lead future empirical work on measurement, development and theory testing. The hope is to improve the societal benefits of FWB and sustainable food system transformation.Design/methodology/approachA domain-based systematic review of FWB was conducted using databases (Web of Science, ABI/INFORM, EBSCO and Scopus). The well-established theory, context, characteristics and methodology framework were used to structure the review.FindingsThis study synthesized conceptual definitions and measurements of consumer FWB from hedonic, eudemonistic and mixed research streams and a nomological network that distinguishes this construct from its antecedents and outcomes.Practical implicationsThis study provides recommendations for consumers, food designers, retailers and policymakers to improve FWB.Originality/valueThis study assessed the conceptualizations of FWB from hedonic, eudemonistic and mixed perspectives for conceptual clarity. It summarized ten measurement tools for FWB-allied concepts (Well-being Related to Food Questionnaires, Satisfaction with Food-Related Life Scale and World Health Organization-Five Well-Being Index), which revealed the need for novel measurement. This study developed a holistic nomological network of FWB by identifying the categories of antecedents (food-related, consumer-related and contextual factors) and outcomes (general well-being, life satisfaction and food consumption). This study provides a research agenda for FWB measurement and theoretical development.

The objective of this study was to assess the construct validity and reliability of the Canadian Eating Practices Screener/Questionnaire court canadien sur les pratiques alimentaires, which was developed to measure eating practices based on the 2019 Canada’s Food Guide (2019-CFG). From July to December 2021, adults (n=154) aged 18-65 years completed a sociodemographic questionnaire and the screener. Construct validity was assessed by examining variability in screener scores and by comparing screener scores among subgroups with expected differences in eating practices using ANOVA. Reliability, i.e., internal consistency, was assessed by calculating Cronbach’s coefficient alpha. Screener item scores are summed to provide a total score ranging from 21 to 105. The mean screener score was 76 (SD=8.4; maximum, 105), ranging from 53 (1st percentile) to 92 (99th percentile). Differences in total scores in hypothesized directions were observed by age (p=0.006), perceived income adequacy (p=0.09), educational attainment (p=0.002), and smoking status (p=0.09), but not by gender or health literacy level. The Cronbach’s coefficient alpha was 0.79, suggesting acceptable to high internal consistency. Study findings provide preliminary evidence of the screener’s construct validity and reliability, supporting its use to assess eating practices based on the 2019-CFG healthy eating recommendations.
