Key Predictors that Characterize Different Stances on Significant Global Scientific Challenges
This paper uses socioeconomic, political, psychological, information seeking and trust-related factors to characterize different beliefs on global challenges—vaccine beliefs (COVID-19) and climate change—to inform effective science and public health communications and interventions. We surveyed a sample of 1,790 Australians (73.1% female) aged 18 to over 75 years on their vaccine beliefs, perceptions of climate change risks, demographics, and var…
What predicts the initial interest and uptake of health behaviours? An exploratory study to understand commitment and early success through a simple behaviour
Strategies associated with improved healthiness of consumer purchasing in supermarket interventions
Background: Growing evidence suggests that it is possible to change the retail food environment to enable healthier choices via in-store interventions. It has been difficult to draw clear conclusions as to which interventions are most effective in positively influencing consumer purchasing behaviour given the significant heterogeneity within the food retail research literature. The aim of this study was to (1) summarise current high-quality syste…
Australians’ willingness to change their discretionary food intake
Introduction: Overconsumption of energy dense, nutrient poor foods and beverages is a major problem globally. This study describes what and how Australian adults consume and are willing to change their intake in terms of discretionary food and beverage categories. Methods: Cross-sectional data were collected via the CSIRO Junk Food Analyser. This online tool contains short questions on discretionary food and beverage consumption, and items relati…
The invisible burden of managing Covid-19 for Australian women
Providing accurate and timely public health information is an ongoing challenge for public health officials. The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated such challenges and presented unique difficulties in providing public health information, through the parallel rise of an “infodemic” of mis/dis-information. Understanding why individuals select, use and change their public health information seeking behaviors around COVID-19, and the relationship of t…
Parental food choices for children when eating out
Objective: To understand how healthy menu labelling information is used by parents/caregivers and where it fits within predictors of healthy meal choices when eating out. Design: Parents were recruited to complete a 15-min observational, online survey regarding their experiences and hypothetical choices when eating out with their child/ren. Setting: Australia. Participants: Eligible participants had one or more child/ren aged between 2 and 12 yea…
How can different psychological and behavioural constructs be used to personalise weight management? Development of the diet styles
The aim of this study was first, to explore whether distinct combinations of key psychological and eating-related characteristics, could be identified and, second, whether these styles were related to measures of dieting success such as weight status and the number of previous weight loss attempts. Participants were any person 18 years or older with access to the internet and were recruited through Facebook to complete a 30-min, online survey. Th…
A mixed-methods investigation of psychological factors relevant to weight maintenance
This study investigated perceptions of and engagement with the concepts of planning and problem-solving, within a weight management sample. A total of 53 participants (62% female, 20-74 years old) completed a semi-structured interview and quantitative measures after a 16-week weight maintenance period. Preliminary weight maintainers (who had maintained losses of, at least 10% of their original weight) were compared with heavier-than-baseline part…

Eating in groups
This study investigated multiple social influences to determine whether they affect amount eaten at a fast-food environment. Using observational methods, data on meal duration, foods eaten and personal characteristics were collected for 157 McDonald's patrons. Analysis of covariance revealed that female diners ate less kilojoules when eating in mixed- versus same-sex groups (adjusted difference = 967 kJ, p < .05), while male diners eating in mixe…
Improving children's dairy food and calcium intake
Objective Strategies are needed to address the shortfall in children's dairy food and Ca intakes. The present review identified interventions targeting an increase in children's dairy food or Ca intakes, and determined characteristics associated with successful intervention. Design A systematic literature search identified fourteen intervention studies, published in English, between 1990 and 2010. Studies were evaluated for study population, sett…
Perceptions of portion size and energy content
Objective To assess Australian consumers’ perception of portion size of fast-food items and their ability to estimate energy content. Design Cross-sectional computer-based survey. Setting Australia. Subjects Fast-food consumers (168 male, 324 female) were asked to recall the items eaten at the most recent visit to a fast-food restaurant, rate the prospective satiety and estimate the energy content of seven fast-food or ‘standard’ meals relative t…
Does meal duration predict amount consumed in lone diners? An evaluation of the time-extension hypothesis
Personal and lifestyle characteristics predictive of the consumption of fast foods in Australia
Objective To identify key predictors of fast-food consumption from a range of demographic, attitudinal, personality and lifestyle variables. Methods We analysed data from a nationwide survey ( n = 20 527) conducted in Australia by Nielsen Media Research. Items assessing frequency of fast-food consumption at (1) eat in and (2) take away were regressed onto 12 demographic, seven media consumption, and 23 psychological and lifestyle variables, the l…
