Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the need for dietary education and programs for young Koreans belonging to single-person households in the metropolitan area. A total of 500 young adults aged 19-34 participated in the study through an online survey. Participants responded to questions on general characteristics, dietary problems, and the need for dietary education and programs. The subjects were divided into three groups as follows: Undergraduate students, employed workers, and others. Among the subjects from single-person households, 20.2, 67, and 12.8% were undergraduate students, employed workers, and others, respectively. When asked for their estimation of an appropriate self-pay when participating in a cooking class, 39.8% of total subjects responded '5,000-10,000 won'. The most preferred program for young adults in single-person households was the 'support food package'. For the preferred method of dietary education, undergraduate students showed a greater preference for classes 'at campuses'. However, employed workers and others had a higher preference for 'non-face-to-face online classes'. Undergraduate students tended to generally have a higher preference for dietary education and support programs compared to employed workers and others. This study provides data that will be useful for establishing healthy dietary policies and education programs for young single-person households in Korea.
