dc.description.abstractThis study aims to shed light on food consumption choices among the caregivers of children in St. Kitts against the back drop high levels of overweight and obesity observed from a household health and nutrition survey. Of particular interest for this study are two issues: the first suggests there are significant peer effects in food intake, weight gain and obesity, and the second suggests that time preferences (the preference for immediate utility over delayed utility) matter for health outcomes and consumption decisions. Disseminating information through peers can potentially be a useful policy tool.en
