Drivers and solutions to unhealthy food consumption by adolescents in urban slums, Kenya: a qualitative participatory study
UPF/HFSS were perceived as associated with poor nutrition and health, yet were preferred over unprocessed/minimally processed foods. Interventions to promote healthy diets beyond raising awareness are important, while addressing the underlying perceptions and drivers of UPF/HFSS consumption at the individual level and in the social and physical food environments.
