The nutritional and feeding status of children living in selected residential child care facilities in Zambia
Introduction This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of undernutrition and risk of feeding difficulties and describe common feeding practices for children from birth to 10 years of age living in residential care in Zambia. Methods This was a secondary analysis of de-identified cross-sectional data on 397 children living in 22 residential care facilities in four provinces. Child demographics, anthropometrics, hemoglobin levels, risk for feedin…
Infant and young child feeding indicators are positively associated with length and family care indicators in the children of the Women First trial participants
This research describes the proportion of children in four low- and middle-income countries with adequate dietary practices at 6, 12, 18 and 24 months of age and how these practices changed over time using the World Health Organisation and UNICEF's infant young child feeding (IYCF) indicators. The associations between the IYCF indicators and anthropometric z-scores from 6 to 24 months, and between the IYCF indicators and the family care indicator…

Feasibility of a food-based diabetes self-management education intervention for food insecure patients with type 2 diabetes
Objective: To assess the feasibility of a food-based diabetes self-management education and support (DSMES) intervention delivered to persons with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and food insecurity. Design: This single arm pre-/post convergent mixed methods study tested the feasibility of a 3-month intervention using food boxes, recipes, DSMES and dietitian visits. Feasibility benchmarks assessed were acceptability (> 50 % participants satisfied), demand…
The impact of a Solar Market Garden programme on dietary diversity, women’s nutritional status and micronutrient levels in Kalalé district of northern Benin
Objective: To examine the impacts of a Solar Market Garden 1-year solar-powered drip irrigation (SMG) programme in Kalalé district of northern Benin on mothers’ nutritional status and micronutrient levels. Design: Using a quasi-experimental design, sixteen villages were assigned to four groups: (i) SMG women’s groups (WG); (ii) comparison WG; (iii) SMG non-WG (NWG); and (iv) comparison NWG. Difference-in-differences (DID) estimates were used to a…
Impact of a rural solar electrification project on the level and structure of women’s empowerment
Although development organizations agree that reliable access to energy and energy services—one of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals—is likely to have profound and perhaps disproportionate impacts on women, few studies have directly empirically estimated the impact of energy access on women’s empowerment. This is a result of both a relative dearth of energy access evaluations in general and a lack of clarity on how to quantify gender impacts o…
Prevalence of anaemia, deficiencies of iron and vitamin A and their determinants in rural women and young children
Objective To identify the magnitude of anaemia and deficiencies of Fe (ID) and vitamin A (VAD) and their associated factors among rural women and children. Design Cross-sectional, comprising a household, health and nutrition survey and determination of Hb, biochemical (serum concentrations of ferritin, retinol, C-reactive protein and α 1 -acid glycoprotein) and anthropometric parameters. Multivariate logistic regression examined associations of v…
Service Learning
Service learning (SL) is a form of community-centered experiential education that places emerging health professionals in community-generated service projects and provides structured opportunities for reflection on the broader social, economic, and political contexts of health. We describe the elements and impact of five distinct week-long intensive SL courses focused on the context of urban, rural, border, and indigenous health contexts. Student…
Neural tube defects in Latin America and the impact of fortification
Objective Data on the prevalence of birth defects and neural tube defects (NTD) in Latin America are limited. The present review summarizes NTD prevalence and time trends in Latin American countries and compares pre- and post-fortification periods to assess the impact of folic acid fortification in these countries. Design We carried out a literature review of studies and institutional reports published between 1990 and 2010 that contained informa…

The International Conferences on Dietary Assessment Methods
Methods (ICDAM) was sure to be a success from the outset, even though the original organisers may have had some trepidation when taking their first planning steps. The first steering committee chaired by Marilyn Buzzard brought together an international group of nutrition scientists who had been instrumental in developing dietary methods and applying them to studies on nutrition and health. Having been part of a dietary assessment laboratory at t…
Evaluation of the Southwest Food Frequency Questionnaire
The development of the Southwest Food Frequency Questionnaire (SWFFQ) was undertaken to provide a culturally appropriate means of collecting dietary information for the Southwest region of the United States. The study measured the reliability and validity of the SWFFQ and a modified shortened version (MSFFQ). Hispanic (n = 79) and non‐Hispanic (n = 80) subjects participated in the study and were randomized to complete two administrations of eithe…
Factors associated with the reproducibility of specific food items from the Southwest Food Frequency Questionnaire
Little is known about the effect on reproducibility of including ethnically unique foods in a food frequency questionnaire. The Southwest Food Frequency Questionnaire (SWFFQ) has a food list that includes foods that are unique to Hispanic populations. 75 adults self‐administered SWFFQs twice. Correlation of responses between administrations was calculated for each food item. Several variables were examined as potential predictors of reproducibili…
Within month variability in use of soup kitchens in New York State. p4
This paper describes the variation in use of soup kitchens throughout the month using data from the New York State Nutritional Surveillance Program. Excluding November, December, and May, when holiday meals created a different pattern of use, number of meals served in soup kitchens generally increased toward the end of the month, averaging 43 per cent higher for Upstate and 14 per cent higher for New York City in the last week as compared to the …
