Populations' diets typically fall short of recommendations. The implication of this on ill health and quality of life is well established, as are the subsequent health care costs. An area of growing interest within public health nutrition is food choice architecture; how a food choice is framed and its influence on subsequent food selection. In particular, there is an appeal to manipulating the choice architecture in order to nudge individuals' food choice. This review outlines the current understanding of food choice architecture, theoretical background to nudging and the evidence on the effectiveness of nudge strategies, as well as their design and implementation. Interventions emphasising the role of nudge strategies have investigated changes to the accessibility, availability and presentation of food and the use of prompts. Empirical studies have been conducted in laboratories, online and in real-world food settings, and with different populations. Evidence on the effectiveness of nudge strategies in shifting food choice is encouraging. Underpinning mechanisms, not yet fully explicated, are proposed to relate to salience, social norms and the principle of least effort. Emerging evidence points to areas for development including the effectiveness of choice architecture interventions with different and diverse populations, and the combined effect of multiple nudges. This, alongside further examination of theoretical mechanisms and guidance to engage and inspire across the breadth of food provision, is critical. In this way, the potential of choice architecture to effect meaningful change in populations' diets will be realised.

The problem of nutrient in take in teenagers tends to be caused by a poor and irregular diet as well as psychosocial factors involved frequently become the cause of this matter. This research is aimed to determine the factors associated with food selection in high school students in Yogyakarta City. The design of this research was observational, with crosssectional design on 2 high schools in Yogyakarta City. The sampling was done by simple random sampling. A sample of 107 students was examined as the sample. The variable examined in this research wasthe role of the family, peers,pocket money, the level of knowledge and mood towards food selection. The data were analyzed by using chi-square. Factors significantly related(p <0.05) to the food selection is the role of the family in the selection of staple foods, side dishes from animal products, side dishes from vegetables, vegetables and fruits. The significant relationshipis also found at the level of knowledge with food selection of vegetables and fruits. In addition, a significant relationship between mood and selection of staple foods and side dishes from animal products is also found. Meanwhile, there is no significant relationship between pocket money and the role of peers towards all types of food selection. The role ofthe family, the level of knowledge and mood are related to food selection, while pocket money and peers are not related to food selection. Keywords : Food selection, teenagers
