AB  - OBJECTIVE: Examine acculturation and gender on intention to eat a healthful diet 
      among Latino adolescents using the Theory of Planned Behavior. DESIGN: Secondary 
      analysis of data set and condensed version of the Short Acculturation Scale for 
      Hispanics (SASH). SETTING: Data collected from 34 randomly selected high schools 
      in San Bernardino, CA. PARTICIPANTS: 265 Latino high school adolescents. MAIN 
      OUTCOME MEASURES: Effects of acculturation and gender on variables of the Theory 
      of Planned Behavior on intention to eat a healthful diet. ANALYSIS: Multiple 
      regression analysis examined acculturation/gender differences, and modifications 
      on the prediction of intention. General linear modeling determined differences 
      across gender and acculturation groups. RESULTS: Females had stronger intention, 
      more positive attitude, and greater subjective normative influence. Females 
      indicated feeling healthy and looking good and males indicated good athletic 
      performance as contributors to eating healthfully. Mother was influential for 
      both genders, and stronger for females. Siblings were influential for less 
      acculturated males, and friends were influential for highly acculturated females. 
      Less acculturated adolescents had stronger intention to eat healthfully, more 
      tolerance to give up liked food items, and more support and encouragement. 
      CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS: Professionals need to take into account gender and 
      acculturation differences when making dietary recommendations for Latino 
      adolescents.
