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)

Interventions to improve the nutritional status of under five children in Ethiopia: a systematic review
CONCLUSION: Future childhood nutritional interventions in Ethiopia should consider adopting an integrated approach that combines the positive effects of interdependent systems such as BCC, food supplemental programmes (e.g., boosting protein and micronutrients), health interventions (e.g., strengthening maternal and childcare), WaSH and financial initiatives (e.g., monetary support and income schemes).PMID:37905557 | DOI:10.1017/S1368980023002410 (Source: Public Health Nutrition)
