Background: Over 39% of approximately 3,000 doctors (The British Medical Association quarterly survey, 2015) admitted to frequently feeling drained, exhausted, overloaded, tired, low and lacking energy. Such occupational distress may link to psychological and physical difficulties in doctors and have negative outcomes for organization and patients. The aim of the current study is to investigate the impact of an induction programme on occupational distress of doctors. Methods/design: Doctors will be invited to take part in an online research. Participants will be randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups. Participants in the experimental groups will complete one of the induction topics (about stress at work). Before and after an induction programme participants will be asked to fill in an online survey about their current occupational distress and organizational well-being. Discussion: The investigators expect that doctors' psychological, physiological and organizational well-being will improve after an induction programme which should serve as a resource for better doctor's own health understanding.
The purpose of this project is to study the efficacy of a delivery system to offer fresh fruits and vegetables (F&V) at discount prices for purchase at worksites in conjunction with educational interventions on increasing employees' F&V consumption in comparison to an intervention receiving fruit and vegetable markets alone or a comparison intervention.
The Dietary Guidelines for Americans provide recommendations for making better food and physical activity choices that promote health and help prevent disease. Yet, few Americans meet the Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA) and a large percentage are overweight.
30-40 healthy male subjects with a BMI between 18.5 and 24.9 kg/m2 will be tested for food preferences using a questionnaire with 141 different foods. Accordingly, a high acceptability/palatability food will be selected (average score of ≥ 7 on the 9-point hedonic scale). Two versions of the selected high palatability food will be devised by modifying it to yield the original high and the modified low acceptability versions. The two versions will differ only in palatability and will be equicaloric. Subjects who agree on the acceptability of the two versions of the food (11 subjects) will consume, at fasting, the two versions of the food in a cross over design over two sessions. Each session will include an acceptability test, using the 9-point hedonic scale, on three instances: after sampling a spoonful, eating the whole portion and after 240 min. The quantity consumed on each session will constitute 30% of the subject's resting energy expenditure. Moreover, fasting and postprandial hunger ratings and blood samples will be collected at time 0 and after 15, 30, 60, 120, 180 and 240 min of the food/meal's ingestion. The visual analogue scale will be used for huger ratings.
This project aims to demonstrate that the best breakfast meal is the one able to improve the best postprandial hunger, satiety and adiposity regulators profile as well as the best reward-related gratification, due to hedonistic parameters. To do this, 4 different breakfasts will be tested and blood tests, food choices, and attentional components will be analysed.
This project will investigate the influence of experimentally manipulated perceived social standing on eating behavior and obesity risk.
Entre Familia was a 4-year randomized controlled trial funded by the American Cancer Society. The study was conducted in Imperial County, California, and involved a partnership between the Institute for Behavioral and Community Health at San Diego State University and Clínicas de Salud del Pueblo, Inc. a private, non-profit corporation providing comprehensive primary care services to residents throughout Imperial and Riverside Counties. The investigators enrolled 361 Latina mothers and one of their children aged between 7 and 13 years old; in 25% of families, the father was also enrolled. Participants were randomly assigned to either an intervention or delayed-treatment control condition. The intervention consisted of a community health worker (or promotora)-delivered home-based intervention to promote healthy eating. The promotoras used a telenovela DVD series and accompanying manual, both written and produced by study staff. The intervention was delivered through 11 home visits and 4 support telephone calls over a 4 month period. Participants in the delayed-treatment condition received intervention materials when evaluation assessments had been completed. Evaluation measures were taken at baseline, 4 months (immediate post-intervention) and 10 months (6-months post intervention). Participants completed a self-report interview with study staff at each time point. Height and weight measurements were also collected for the mothers and children. The primary outcomes were changes in mothers' daily fruit and vegetable intake. Secondary outcomes for mothers, children and fathers included changes in fat intake, sugary beverage intake, parenting strategies, and perceived barriers to healthy eating.
This study will pilot test the use of two mHealth devices. One is called the Bite Counter and one is called a MisFit. The study will be among a sample of participants (n = 50) to monitor their eating and sleeping habits. The Bite Counter is a wearable watch-like device that detects and records when an individual has taken a bite of food. The benefit of using the Bite Counter is that it places a low-burden on participants to self-monitor their dietary intake. The MisFit is a commercial device that tracks an individual's sleeping and activity. The purpose of this study is to (1) find out how the Bite Counter calculates daily bites taken on a vegan diet compared to an omnivorous diet, (2) examine differences in sleep and activity between individuals following a vegan diet compared to an omnivorous diet and (3) get feedback from users before the device is tested in larger studies.
Food habits form early in infancy and are likely to track into childhood until the beginning of adulthood. Understanding the factors driving the acceptance of foods in the early years is therefore of particular importance, since these foods will form the basis of a child's future food repertoire. This is especially important for vegetables, which consumption is recommended at all stages of life but is below the recommended levels and which acceptance is difficult to promote during late childhood. The objective of the present study was to unravel the respective contribution of maternal feeding practices, of children's rate of exposure to vegetables and of children's sensory reactivity factors over the course of the first two years, to explain the development of liking for vegetables at the age of 2 years. This analysis took advantage of data recorded in a prospective cohort of children recruited before birth and followed up longitudinally until the age of 2 years.
