Psychometric testing of the teacher food and nutrition-related health and wellbeing questionnaire
The TFNQ is the first purpose-built evaluation tool to incorporate a set of valid and reliable sub-scales and single-item measures. The TFNQ will facilitate research that aims to explore the contribution of teacher FN practices with teacher health and wellbeing and inform the development of practical lifestyle focused solutions
Content validation of the teacher food and nutrition-related health and wellbeing questionnaire, a Delphi study
This Delphi study established content validity of the TFNQ to appropriately measure key aspects of FN as a component of wellbeing in schoolteachers. Future testing will evaluate the TFNQ construct validity and reliability
What have I just eaten?’ A qualitative exploration of awareness and use of ultra-processed food products during pregnancy and the post-partum period in line with the COM-B behaviour model
Consumption of convenience/ultra-processed foods (UPFs) has been associated with a lower diet quality. However, it is unclear whether consumers are aware of what is classified as UPFs. Additionally, higher maternal diet quality is associated lower risk of adverse pregnancy and infant outcomes. Therefore, the aim was to explore awareness, perception, and usage of UPFs during pregnancy. Online focus group discussions with pregnant women and those w…
Can I @handle it? The effects of sponsorship disclosure in TikTok influencer marketing videos with different product integration levels on adolescents’ persuasion knowledge and brand outcomes
TikTok influencer videos are becoming increasingly popular for promotional purposes and are appealing to adolescents. Yet, the products' level of integration into the storyline of such videos influences their recognizability as advertisements, which is concerning as they expose adolescents to unhealthy social media food marketing, leading to unhealthy consumption. This study investigated whether a sponsorship disclosure in a TikTok influencer vid…
Making sense of adolescent-targeted social media food marketing
Traditional food marketing stimulates adolescents' consumption of energy-dense, nutrient-poor foods. These dietary behaviours may track into adulthood and lead to weight gain, obesity and related non-communicable diseases. While social media use in adolescents has proliferated, little is known about the content of food marketing within these platforms, and how this impacts adolescents' dietary behaviours. This paper aimed to obtain expert insight…
Process Evaluation of the ‘No Money No Time’ Healthy Eating Website Promoted Using Social Marketing Principles. A Case Study

Be Healthe for Your Heart
This pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) aimed to determine the acceptability and preliminary efficacy of a web-based cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevention intervention for women following preeclampsia. Australian women with a recent history (≤4 years post diagnosis) of preeclampsia were randomized into two study arms: (1) Be Health e for your Heart, a web-based behavioral intervention or; (2) Control, access to the National Heart Foundatio…
Children’s Intake of Food from Non-Fast-Food Outlets and Child-Specific Menus
Eating out-of-home is associated with higher energy intakes in children. The continued high prevalence of childhood obesity requires a greater understanding of child menu options and eating out frequency to inform appropriate regulatory initiatives. The majority of studies to date have focused on menus from fast-food outlets with few focused on non-fast-food outlets. This study aimed to describe parents' reports of their child(ren)'s (aged up to …

A process evaluation of an adolescent weight management intervention
Process evaluation is valuable in guiding development of effective intervention programmes but rare in adolescent weight management. This paper presents a process evaluation of the Loozit(®) randomized controlled trial, a community-based behavioural lifestyle intervention for obese 13-16 year olds. Adolescents were randomized to receive the two-phase Loozit(®) group programme, with (n = 73) or without (n = 78), additional therapeutic contact (tel…
