Additional Description

Introduction [excerpts]

My topic of interest is the relationship between teenagers' self-reported eating habits and food advertising exposure....

This is a communication topic because it focuses on messages and media influence. I am interested in researching what teenagers think about the influences that food advertising exposure may have on their concepts of eating and nutrition and the influence, if any, that it may have on their eating habits....

This study will gather qualitative data in order to determine the relationship between teenagers' exposure to food advertising and their personal eating habits and concepts of food and nutrition.
