Preliminary Evaluation of a Scenario-based Nutrition Literacy Online Program for College Students
CONCLUSIONS: This pilot study offers preliminary evidence of the potential positive effects of implementing a scenario-based NL online program for college students. It offers a possibly novel strategy to enhance health-promoting behaviours in Taiwanese universities. Further research with larger sample sizes and more rigorous designs is warranted to confirm and build upon these initial findings.PMID:37927137 | DOI:10.1017/S1368980023002471 (Source: Public Health Nutrition)

Dual Modality Feeders: A Group of Human Milk Feeders with Unique Practices and Needs
CONCLUSIONS: DMF is a unique practice compared to feeding human milk solely from the breast or bottle. Despite the potential growing prevalence of DMF, it is currently understudied and inadequately addressed in existing support programs in Nova Scotia. Tailored programing and public messaging are needed to support DMF families.PMID:37927150 | DOI:10.1017/S1368980023002367 (Source: Public Health Nutrition)

A scoping review of health promotion interventions delivered via social media to women of reproductive age
CONCLUSIONS: We identified nine diverse health promotion interventions conducted via social media which appear acceptable and effective for improving various health outcomes in adult women of reproductive age. While this supports the utility of social media to convey health information, further research is required to prove effectiveness and superiority over other intervention strategies.PMID:37927181 | DOI:10.1017/S136898002300246X (Source: Public Health Nutrition)

A comparison of total cost estimates between exclusive breastfeeding and breast milk substitute usage in humanitarian contexts
CONCLUSIONS: Given the reality of limited funding for comprehensive humanitarian response around the world and the necessity of prioritizing certain interventions, humanitarian response organizations should consider the notable cost difference between EBF and BMS usage (along with the proven health benefits of EBF). This difference should play a role in informing the future creation of SOPs while also ensuring that all infants within a humanitarian crisis receive appropriate feeding.PMID:37921005 | DOI:10.1017/S1368980023002434 (Source: Public Health Nutrition)

Energy and nutrient content of school lunches provided for children attending school-based nurseries: A cross-sectional study
CONCLUSION: Lunches provided for children attending school nurseries are more in line with the framework for 4-7-year-olds. Free sugars, saturated fat and sodium are areas of concern consistent with previous studies. Protein is three times more than recommended. Large portions of cakes and biscuits contribute to excess energy provision.PMID:37921199 | DOI:10.1017/S1368980023002331 (Source: Public Health Nutrition)

Understanding knowledge, attitudes, and behaviours related to dietary sodium intake in a multi-ethnic population in Singapore
CONCLUSIONS: Findings highlighted substantial gaps in participants' knowledge and skills in managing their sodium consumption. This suggests the need for more public education and improvements in the food environment.PMID:37921207 | DOI:10.1017/S1368980023002422 (Source: Public Health Nutrition)

Development and internal validation of the SMILE-FSS - A Free Sugars Screener for Australian children aged 2 and 5 years
CONCLUSIONS: The SMILE-FSS has good internal validity and can be used in research and practice to estimate young Australian children's free sugars intake and compare to the WHO free sugars guidelines to identify those 'at risk'.PMID:37905405 | DOI:10.1017/S1368980023002380 (Source: Public Health Nutrition)
