 Bu araştırma lise öğrencilerinde beslenme okuryazarlığını ve obezite sıklığını belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Tanımlayıcı ve ilişki arayıcı türdeki bu çalışma Gaziantep İli Şahinbey İlçe Milli Eğitim Müdürlüğüne bağlı bir lisede Ekim 2019-Ocak 2020 tarihleri arasında yürütülmüştür. Araştırmanın evrenini, bahsi geçen lisede 2019-2020 eğitim-öğretim yılında öğrenim gören 658 öğrenci oluşturmuştur. Örneklem seçimine gidilmemiş, evrenin tamamı örnekleme alınmıştır. Çalışma, araştırmaya katılmayı kabul eden 570 katılım oranı 86.6 öğrenci ile tamamlanmıştır. Çalışmaya katılan öğrencilerin 30.5i 15 yaş aralığında olup, 29.6sı 10. sınıfa devam etmekte ve 62si kız öğrenciden oluşmaktadır. Öğrencilerin 90.2si çekirdek aileye sahiptir.
