Extract: A study of 257 teenage girls in a low income area of Missouri included dietary status (Iron Intake and Iron Frequency Scores), nutrition knowledge (Iron Knowledge Score), nutritional status (hematocrit), and family structure measures. Varying correlations occurred among the indicators of dietary status, knowledge level, and nutritional status. Few of these indicators were directly associated with family structure. Since family structure was considered an important variable in understanding food habits, associations between these iron measures were studied by controlling for low and high family structure scores.
