Widespread public support and pluralistic ignorance associated with United States Animal Protection Policy
Background : Although Americans increasingly express concern for animals, animal protection remains peripheral in US policy discussions. Aligning animal-related public policy with societal values requires understanding public perspectives on the importance of animal protection as a policy priority, their support for specific policy proposals, and whether pluralistic ignorance may inhibit civic or policy engagement. Methods : A nationally represen…

How age and sex affect treatment outcomes for children with severe malnutrition
Age and sex influence the risk of childhood wasting. We aimed to determine if wasting treatment outcomes differ by age and sex in children under 5 years, enroled in therapeutic and supplementary feeding programmes. Utilising data from stage 1 of the ComPAS trial, we used logistic regression to assess the association between age, sex and wasting treatment outcomes (recovery, death, default, non-response, and transfer), modelling the likelihood of …
Anthropometric criteria for best-identifying children at high risk of mortality
Objective: To understand which anthropometric diagnostic criteria best discriminate higher from lower risk of death in children and explore programme implications. Design: A multiple cohort individual data meta-analysis of mortality risk (within 6 months of measurement) by anthropometric case definitions. Sensitivity, specificity, informedness and inclusivity in predicting mortality, face validity and compatibility with current standards and prac…
Who will encourage a sustainable diet? Understanding the psychological predictors of relational organizing
Why do (or do not) people encourage others in their social networks to adopt climate-friendly behaviors? Encouragement like this has been referred to as “relational organizing,” and can help scale up climate action across communities. Since relational organizing is a social behavior, it likely has its own specific barriers and motivations beyond what affects personal climate action. Food is a big part of our day-to-day lives and our relationships…
Effectiveness of interventions to improve drinking water, sanitation, and handwashing with soap on risk of diarrhoeal disease in children in low-income and middle-income settings
The effectiveness of Covid-related message framing on public beliefs and behaviors related to plant-based diets
Does the Impact of Norms Vary by Type of Norm and Type of Conservation Behavior? A Meta-Analysis
Norms can be powerful motivators of conservation behavior. Research has distinguished between subjective or injunctive norms, descriptive norms, and personal norms. To date, there is no clear consensus on the relative influence of these different norms on intentions to engage in different conservation behaviors. We conducted a meta-analysis of 100 articles (142 evaluation contexts) examining links between subjective/injunctive, descriptive, and/o…
Effects of water quality, sanitation, handwashing, and nutritional interventions on diarrhoea and child growth in rural Kenya
Background Poor nutrition and exposure to faecal contamination are associated with diarrhoea and growth faltering, both of which have long-term consequences for child health. We aimed to assess whether water, sanitation, handwashing, and nutrition interventions reduced diarrhoea or growth faltering. Methods The WASH Benefits cluster-randomised trial enrolled pregnant women from villages in rural Kenya and evaluated outcomes at 1 year and 2 years …
