Development Process of a Learning Program to Improve Health Literacy in Social Eating Situations for Adolescents With Food Allergies

Abstract

Introduction

This study aimed to use the ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation) model to clarify the process of developing a learning program for adolescents with food allergies to increase their health literacy in social eating situations.

Method

The procedure for developing instructional materials followed the first three stages (Analysis, Design, Development) of the ADDIE model.

Results

The need to promote the ability of adolescents with food allergies to build relationships in various dining environments and to utilize and share knowledge about their own condition was analyzed. Subsequently, three units and their lesson plans, as well as teaching materials, were designed. The sub-items of “attention,” “relevance,” “confidence,” and “satisfaction” in the ARCS model had an average score of 1.0–5.0 each.

Discussion

This learning program may help adolescents with allergies to build relationships, acquire skills to communicate about food allergy, and promote health literacy in social dining situations.
