Background of the Study
Media campaigns are a powerful tool for shaping public behavior, including dietary habits. Through television, radio, social media, and print media, nutrition-related messages can reach large audiences and promote healthy eating. Media campaigns have been widely used to combat obesity, encourage fruit and vegetable consumption, and reduce unhealthy food choices.
In Borno State, media campaigns on nutrition have been implemented to raise awareness of healthy eating habits. However, the effectiveness of these campaigns in influencing actual behavior change remains uncertain. This study evaluates the impact of media campaigns on healthy eating habits in Borno State, focusing on their reach, effectiveness, and limitations.
Statement of the Problem
Despite media campaigns promoting healthy eating, unhealthy dietary practices persist in Borno State. Many individuals continue to consume processed and high-calorie foods, leading to diet-related diseases. The extent to which media campaigns influence eating behaviors and their effectiveness in driving long-term dietary changes needs further exploration. This study examines the impact of media campaigns on healthy eating habits in Borno State.
