From ‘best practice’ to ‘best Fit’. Evaluating the implementation of Video Reflexive Ethnography as an improvement tool in a Nicu setting
Healthcare operates in a hyper-complex environment that necessitates continuous quality improvement. Video-Reflexive Ethnography (VRE) is a collaborative, practice-based methodology supporting team learning by using video footage of everyday clinical practice to stimulate shared reflection. This study explores the implementation of VRE in a Level 3 Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), focusing on facilitators, barriers, and the intervention’s imp…

Development and implementation of a community health literacy hub, ‘Health Kiosk'—A grassroots innovation
Being health literate is important to get sufficient health information, to navigate the health system, to access appropriate care and to be able to self-manage health. As such it is a key determinant of health. There is a need for innovative measures to improve health literacy among people living in socioeconomically vulnerable circumstances. Literature shows that this innovation needs to: have “low-threshold access” to health resources in a com…
“Meating halfway”
Empirical studies have persistently reported negative attitudes of meat eaters toward vegetarians and vegans (veg*ns), but scant attention has been paid to veg*ns’ attitudes toward meat eaters. We aimed to investigate the attitudes of meat eaters and veg*ns from both perspectives. In addition, we explored the attitudes of occasional meat eaters. We performed a cross-sectional study (Study 1) among meat eaters, veg*ns, and occasional meat eaters, …
Machine learning techniques for the identification of risk factors associated with food insecurity among adults in Arab countries during the Covid-19 pandemic
The ML algorithms seem to be an effective method in early detection and prediction of food insecurity and can profoundly aid policymaking. The integration of ML approaches in public health strategies could potentially improve the development of targeted and effective interventions to combat food insecurity in these regions and globally
The magic is in the mix
Food media content has recently grown tremendously in quantity and types. To understand food media’s popularity and the role they play for their audience members, this paper applies a uses and gratifications (U&G) approach to study the recipients’ motives for using or encountering various food media. Where do they come across media messages about food? Do they consciously or unconsciously seek or use them, and why? How do they perceive the outcom…
Socioeconomic and Environmental Factors Associated With Increased Alcohol Purchase and Consumption in 38 Countries During the Covid-19 Pandemic
Increased psychological distress among people during the early pandemic period, resulted in increased alcohol consumption, especially among women with children working from home during lockdown
Motivations for nutrition information-seeking behavior among Belgian adults
Our results indicate that beneath the surface of a more apparent need for nutrition information lies a range of motivations demonstrating that nutrition information serves more complex needs than simply information needs. To improve the efficacy of future nutrition education efforts, communication strategies must be tailored to a diverse range of motivations
Everywhere You Look, You’ll Find Food ”
This study explores what emerging adults value in food media, i.e. food-focused content and personae in media. Emerging adults (18-25) are an important target group for food media as they transition toward nutritional independence and consume media substantially. Seven semi-structured focus groups were conducted with thirty-seven Belgian participants. Thematic analysis revealed three themes ( hedonism, ability, information ) grouping nine subthem…

Severe Sexual Harassment on Social Networking Sites
Online sexual harassment is increasingly encountered by adolescents and is associated with various negative psychosocial outcomes. In particular, social networking sites (SNSs) may facilitate sexual harassment. This study used focus groups to examine sexual harassment on SNSs from adolescents’ (aged 12–18 years) point of view: what do they perceive as severe cases and who do they think should play a role in addressing them. The qualitative data s…
