What shapes parental feeding decisions over the first 18 months of parenting
Infants born into families experiencing socioeconomic disadvantage follow a high-risk trajectory for obesity and poor health in later life. Differences in early childhood food experiences may be contributing to these inequalities. This study aimed to explore the factors that influence parental decisions on when, how and what food to introduce over the first 18 months of their child's life and identify differences according to families' social pos…
How Guatemala Defied the Odds
Guatemala has experienced sustained democratic backsliding, including the manipulation of the 2023 electoral playing field. Yet, against the odds, Guatemalan citizens defied the ruling regime's electoral authoritarian strategy, voting an anticorruption reformer into power. This article analyzes Guatemala's (anti)democratic trajectory and explains how opposition actors resisted further backsliding during the 2023 electoral process. The authors arg…
Why do parents use packaged infant foods when starting complementary feeding? Findings from phase one of a longitudinal qualitative study
In considering the use of packaged products as a food source for infants in public health nutrition policy, it is important to understand the broad range of factors that shape parents decisions ranging from the way that products are advertised and perceived, to the non-nutritive roles that they play
From healthy food environments to healthy wellbeing environments
Overweight and obesity continue to increase globally. In England, as in many other countries, this disproportionately affects people who experience socioeconomic deprivation. One factor blamed for inequalities in obesity is unhealthy food provisioning environments (FPEs), leading to a focus on policies and interventions to change FPEs. This paper aims to provide insights into how FPE policies could more effectively tackle inequalities in obesity …

How Is Covid-19 Shaping Families' Relationships With Food and the Food Environment in England? A Qualitative Research Protocol
Rates of childhood overweight and obesity continue to rise in England, along with a growing gap in obesity prevalence between children in the most and least deprived areas. To address child obesity, the UK government is increasingly considering how to intervene in the (food) environments that shape people's purchases, rather than focusing solely on individual health behaviors. With the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent lockdowns having rapidly rec…
I don’t think there’s anything I can do which can keep me healthy’
Many migrant groups, particularly those that are politically and economically marginalised, such as asylum seekers and refugees (ASRs), face inequities in access to health care as well as poorer physical and mental health outcomes. The role of post-arrival experiences in contributing to these inequities is increasingly being explored, and it is suggested that being a migrant is itself a determinant of health outcomes. Drawing on the theoretical c…

Trouble in Central America
Thirteen years after the signing of peace, Guatemalan democracy remains tentative and fragile. Formal democratic procedures are observed, formally democratic institutions are in place and levels of social organization and political participation have substantially increased. Yet these advances barely conceal a state captive to organized crime, a poorly representative and responsive political party system and a fragmented civil society in which th…

Problems of Democratic Consolidation in Ecuador
