Perceived severity of diseases and meat consumption among university students

Article scientifique 2023 Anglais

Résumé

Abstract Many societies consider meat to be their favorite food choice. However, meat consumption is also associated with possible health complications. To minimize health complications, one may alter their meat consumption. A university student’s perceived severity of diseases may influence their meat consumption. However, few studies seem to have addressed this issue. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the relationship between the perceived severity of diseases and meat consumption among university students in Uganda. This study used a correlational survey that was mainly quantitative in nature. The study population comprised 59,998 university students in 2022. We selected a total sample of 403 students using proportionate stratified random sampling. We collected data through face-to-face interviews using a questionnaire. We analyzed the data using SPSS (V23) and AMOS (V23) software for correlational and Confirmatory factor tests. The results revealed that perceived severity had no significant influence on the meat consumption of university students.
