Abstract	Research shows that parents agree to purchase their children's food requests 45% to 65% of the time. This study examined an after-school nutrition education intervention in terms of its effects on parents' agreement to purchase healthy snack foods requested by their children. Survey data from 755 parents were analyzed. Of the 67% of parents asked to purchase a snack, 72% agreed. Overall study findings show that children's participation in a nutrition education intervention influences parental shopping behavior, thus affecting positive eating behavior in the family.
