Examining use of restaurant nutrition information among adults living in England engaged in disordered eating or weight management efforts
Calorie labels on menus are a popular policy initiative to help consumers to reduce their energy intake. Consumers trying to improve their diet may benefit from the labels if they help inform eating decisions. However, it is not well known how some groups, such as those with disordered eating, may view a calorie labelling policy and engage with nutritional labels in England. Using 2021 International Food Policy Study data from 2,898 adults in Eng…

Children aged 10–17 years (n = 3672) completed a cross-sectional online survey in 2019…
Physical and online food outlet availability and its influence on out-of-home dietary behaviours in Great Britain
Neighbourhood outlet availability may influence out-of-home dietary behaviours, but its impact appears to weaken when OFDS availability is considered. Public health strategies should address the growing influence of OFDS platforms to improve dietary quality
Assessing the impact of a mandatory calorie labelling policy in out-of-home food outlets in England on consumer behaviour
The introduction of mandatory calorie labelling in England led to increases in self-reported noticing and using, with the key behavioural impact on ordering something different. Additional strategies may be required to maximise the public health benefits of calorie labelling
Association between the diagnosis of diet-related non-communicable diseases and the use of nutritional labeling among Mexican, Mexican American, and non-Mexican American adults
Diet-related non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are major global health concerns. Front-of-package warning labels (WLs) and nutrition facts labels (NFLs) aim to promote healthier food choices, yet their use among individuals with NCDs and across populations remains underexplored. This study uniquely compares two labeling systems (WL and NFL) and examines the association between NCD diagnosis and label use among Mexican, Mexican American, and non-Me…
Children’s self-reported exposure to sugary beverage advertisements and association with intake across six countries before and during the Covid-19 pandemic
Exposure to digital advertisements for sugary beverages increased from 2019 to 2021 in most countries, and exposure was associated with sugary beverage intake. Reducing children's exposure to advertising of less healthy foods, including on digital media, may reduce sugary beverage intake

Public Support for Nutrition-Related Actions by Food Companies in Australia
Unhealthy food environments contribute to unhealthy population diets. In Australia, the government currently relies on voluntary food company actions (e.g., related to front-of-pack labelling, restricting promotion of unhealthy foods, and product formulation) as part of their efforts to improve population diets, despite evidence that such voluntary approaches are less effective than mandatory policies. This study aimed to understand public percep…
The impact of fast food marketing on brand preferences and fast food intake of youth aged 10–17 across six countries

Despite the wide acceptance that substance abuse is in part a family and cultural disease, few clinicians are trained to reconcile traditional addiction treatment with systems therapy. This picture seems to hold true for both addiction counselors and family therapists. Substance abuse clinicians, with their focus on an individual's addiction, do not always widen their lens to include the context of systems. Systems therapists do not always narrow…
The potential impact of plain packaging of cigarette products among Brazilian young women
Plain packaging and removal of descriptors may reduce the appeal of smoking for youth and young adults, and consequently reduce smoking susceptibility. Overall, the findings provide support for plain packaging regulations, such as those in Australia

The role of income and occupation in the association of education with healthy aging
Perceived income adequacy and life satisfaction with finances explained the beneficial effects of higher education on healthy aging among men, but not women. Identifying predictors of healthy aging and the mechanisms through which these factors exert their effects can inform strategies to maximize the likelihood of healthy aging
The Impact of Nutrition Labeling on Menus
Findings suggest that displaying calorie amounts on menus can help reduce excess energy intake
Retail availability and marketing of electronic cigarettes in Canada
Perceptions of branded and plain cigarette packaging among Mexican youth
Plain cigarette packaging, which seeks to remove all brand imagery and standardize the shape and size of cigarette packs, represents a novel policy measure to reduce the appeal of cigarettes. Plain packaging has been studied primarily in high-income countries like Australia and the UK. It is unknown whether the effects of plain packaging may differ in low-and-middle income countries with a shorter history of tobacco regulation, such as Mexico. An…
