  • Perceptions of preconception health messaging and responsibility

    Open AccessCaitlin Victoria Gardiner, Lerato Mohlomi et al.ARTICLEJournal of Biosocial Science2025

    Premised on the Developmental Origins of Health and Disease theory and on the limited effectiveness of antenatal interventions, interventions in the preconception period are being conducted to potentially improve intergenerational health and non-communicable disease burdens. The Healthy Life Trajectories Initiative (HeLTI) is an international health research consortium primarily investigating the intergenerational effects of behavioural intervent…

  • What is innovative in qualitative methods in birth Cohort studies? A scoping review

    Open AccessDaniella Watson, Taylor Riley et al.ARTICLEJournal of Biosocial Science2025

    Longitudinal birth cohort research provides a glimpse into the biological and social trajectories of a cohort of people, which helps us to better understand how to improve health and social outcomes. While qualitative longitudinal, ethnographic, and other qualitative research methods are increasingly used to capture complex data in trials and cohort research, they are relatively less common, and they vary greatly within and across cohorts and nat…

  • What Does ‘Preconception Health’ Mean to People? A Public Consultation on Awareness and Use of Language

    Open AccessDanielle A J M Schoenaker, Olatundun Gafari et al.ARTICLEHealth Expectations2024

    INTRODUCTION: There is growing scientific and policy recognition that optimising health before a potential pregnancy (preconception health) improves reproductive outcomes and the lifelong health of future children. However, public awareness on this topic is low. We conducted a public consultation to develop language recommendations and identify and prioritise approaches to inform research and improve public awareness of preconception health. METH…

  • Evaluation of ImpEnsa technology‐enabled behaviour change module delivered to healthcare professionals in South Africa to improve micronutrient nutrition during the first 1000 days

    Open AccessSunhea Choi, Corinna May Walsh et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2024

    Healthcare professionals (HCPs) have vital roles in providing evidence-based care to promote healthy micronutrient nutrition in early life. Providing such care requires scalable training to strengthen knowledge and confident application of effective behaviour change skills. Among 33 public and private HCPs (primarily dietitians) in South Africa, we evaluated the behaviour change aspects of a technology-enabled National Qualification Sub-Framework…

  • Behaviour change interventions improve maternal and child nutrition in sub-Saharan Africa

    Open AccessDaniella Watson, Patience Mushamiri et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    Evidence that nutrition-specific and nutrition-sensitive interventions can improve maternal and child nutrition status in sub-Saharan Africa is inconclusive. Using behaviour change theory and techniques in intervention design may increase effectiveness and make outcomes more predictable. This systematic review aimed to determine whether interventions that included behaviour change functions were effective. Six databases were searched systematical…

  • What values drive communities’ nutrition priorities in a resource constrained urban area in South Africa

    Open AccessAgnes Erzse, Teurai Rwafa-Ponela et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2023

    Our study demonstrates how public engagement can facilitate the incorporation of community values and programmatic preferences into nutrition priority setting, enabling a responsive approach to local community needs, especially in resource constrained contexts. Findings could guide policy makers to facilitate more appropriate decisions and to improve nutrition in the first 1000 days of life

Eleven nutrition interventions were identified through policy reviews, interaction with different s…

  • Mechanisms for the prevention of adolescent intimate partner violence

    Open AccessHattie Lowe, Joanna Dobbin et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2022

    Adolescent girls are among those at the greatest risk of experiencing intimate partner violence (IPV). Despite adolescence being widely regarded as a window of opportunity to influence attitudes and behaviours related to gender equality, evidence on what works to prevent IPV at this critical stage is limited outside of high-income, school-based settings. Even less is understood about the mechanisms of change in these interventions. We conducted a…

  • How do we engage people in testing for Covid-19? A rapid qualitative evaluation of a testing programme in schools, GP surgeries and a university

    Participants' and stakeholders' motivations, challenges and concerns need to be understood and these insights used to modify the programme in a continuous, real-time process to ensure and sustain engagement with testing over the extended period necessary. Community leaders and stakeholder organisations should be involved throughout programme development and implementation to optimise engagement

  • How can we best use opportunities provided by routine maternity care to engage women in improving their diets and health

    Open AccessWayne Lawrence, Christina Vogel et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2019

    Pregnancy provides motivation for women to improve their diets and increase their physical activity. Opportunistic brief interventions delivered as part of routine primary care have produced improvements in patients' health behaviour. Consequently, there have been calls for midwives to use contacts during pregnancy in this way. This study explored the experiences of pregnant women and research midwives/nurses of a brief intervention called Health…
