The aim of the study is to investigate and compare two strategies of portion control in toddlers aged 24 to 59 months (snack replacement and snack reduction). The investigators aim to compare the effect of these strategies on habitual dietary intake (total energy intake (kcal), sugar intake (g), intake of fruits and vegetables, and intake at a test meal provided in the home (total energy intake (kcal) and intake of each component of the meal, e.g. intake of vegetables). Outcome measures will be compared to baseline within strategies and also between strategies to explore which portion control strategy might be most effective.
The purpose of this study is to test the use of a smartphone app as a way to measure food waste. Investigators propose to improve the accuracy and convenience of household food waste measurement so that consumer food waste program evaluations yield more power, less bias, less measurement error, and greater representation of targeted populations.
The investigators propose an efficacy study (i.e., do salad bars work under controlled conditions in naturalistic settings) to test whether introducing salad bars in elementary, middle, and high schools that have never had salad bars affects students' FV consumption and waste during lunch. A cluster randomized controlled trial will test new salad bars against controls for 6 wks, with/without an additional 4-wk marketing phase .
Food is widely understood as a cornerstone of health, however multiple barriers stand between well-intentioned, well-informed consumers and the adoption of healthier dietary practices. This mixed-methods randomized controlled trial (RCT) will measure the impact of offering a Community Sustained Agriculture (CSA) share as an employee benefit on household food environments (diets), eating behaviors, and lifestyles.
Wellness Rx is a 6 class prescription for a healthier lifestyle developed for people in Lake County at all levels of health including those struggling with chronic disease. The classes are running across the community at all times. It is designed for patients that could benefit from healthy diet, exercise, and other healthy lifestyle modifications. For those participants attending the classes, they have the option of engaging in this evaluation. For those that do, participants will answer questions about their current lifestyle, their and their previous history. They will register attendance at each class and answer questions about their perception of the class. Then at 45 days and 90 days the participants will revisit the same baseline lifestyle questionnaires. As participants attend classes, and complete questionnaires, they'll unlock grocery credits from online food store ThriveMarket, a basket of fresh produce from the local farmers market and local fitness classes to help you towards your goals. The use of these credits will be tracked through the 90-day point.
This study investigates the association between locally consumed food items with anemia among pregnant women, in Addis Ababa city, Ethiopia.
The objective of the study was to demonstrate the efficacy of a nutritional intervention based on the Social Cognitive Theory and the Transtheoric Model in the favorable modification of eating habits in adolescents of secondary education. The hypothesis was that secondary school adolescents receiving a nutritional intervention based on Social Cognitive Theory and the Transtheoric Model presented more favorable modifications in their eating habits than adolescents who only received nutritional information. A community trial was conducted with pilot testing for the validation of the study instruments. Adolescents from the second grade of the afternoon shift of the Jalisco Technical High School Nº46 participated in the 2015-2016 cycle. Self-completed questionnaires evaluated socioeconomic variables, physical activity habits, stage of change (Transtheoric Model), constructs of the Social Cognitive Theory and five eating habits: consumption of fruits and vegetables, natural water, dairy products, sugary drinks and processed foods ; As well as anthropometric variables. The intervention group had twelve workshops on healthy eating habits and two sessions for parents. The control group received three sessions of nutritional information. All variables were measured again at the end of the intervention to evaluate results in the short term and three months later to know results in the medium term.
The aim of this cluster randomised control trial is to test the efficacy of a repeated taste exposure intervention, a nutritional educational intervention and combination of both to increase intake of an unfamiliar vegetable in preschool aged children (aged 3-5 years).
In this study the investigators aim to investigate the relationship between environmental factors, lifestyle and symptoms of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Initially the investigators intend to measure the relationship between nutritional quality, exercise and sleep and ADHD symptoms. And then measure whether a change made in the diet can improve the symptoms of ADHD.
