CANCER
Soya foods are known to be an abundant source of dietary isoflavones and are commonly a staple in Asian dietsUnsurprisingly, public perception of the association between soya and cancer risk remains controversialThe Capability, Opportunity, Motivation and Behaviour (COM-B) model is a behavioural system that explores how capability, opportunity and motivation interact to produce behaviourIn the present study, we describe the perception, attitudes and beliefs towards soya consumption in a cohort of healthy, peri- and post-menopausal Asian women participating in a soya dietary intervention trial and explore how these factors may affect the completion of the study and adherence to the intervention. Furthermore, using the COM-B model and TDF, we describe the motivators and barriers to regular soya consumption.
