Daheia Barr-Anderson, PhD, Publishes work on Adolescents and Television Powell Center Women’s Health Scholar Daheia Barr-Anderson, PhD, published a paper in the International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity about the relationship between TV and diet over the transition from adolescence to young adulthood. The research is part of the U of M’s School of Public Health’s Project Eating Among Teens (EAT). The study found that heavy-viewing high schoolers had a lower intake of fruits, vegetables, whole grains and calcium-rich foods, and higher intakes of snack foods, fried foods, fast food, sugar-sweetened beverages and trans-fats five years down the road. Dr. Barr-Anderson is from the School of Kinesiology in the College of Education and Human Development.
