title: [Collaboration between general practitioners and the school: survey about student's dietary habits in the first classes of secondary school in the province of Carbonia-Iglesias, Sardinia].
abstract: WHO stresses the importance of promoting balance diet among adolescents. The general practitioners are called at the forefront in the prevention of disorders related to eating habits. The present study describes a project to promote nutrition, created and run by general practitioners in the first classes of 20 secondary schools in seven municipalities, in the province of Carbonia-Iglesias (Italy), for a sample of 509 students (220 females and 289 males). The results also offer an expanded view of the eating habits of adolescents. The results show that adolescents do not give importance to the breakfast that is often not complete or is not consumed, and only 50% of respondents drink milk. The highest percentage of students consuming the first and second course (45-59%) at lunch and dinner consumption of protein was high ranging between 64 and 80% for lunch and dinner at 63 and 66%. That is evidenced by these results can be a valuable aid for future health promotion interventions.
