Re-validation of the Cancer Research UK Cancer Awareness Measure ‘plus’ (CAM+)
Background The Cancer Research UK Cancer Awareness Measure (CRUK CAM) was introduced in 2008 as the first psychometrically validated survey of public attitudes, awareness and behaviours across cancer prevention, screening and early diagnosis. CRUK regularly collects CAM data in the UK to inform strategic planning. The measure has been modified over time in response to changes in the research, policy and practice landscape. Our aim is to revalidat…
Cancer Prevention Literacy Questionnaire (CPL-Q)
Health literacy is a key determinant of health, shaping individuals ability to understand and act on health information. Low cancer literacy is associated with fatalistic beliefs and reduced participation in prevention and screening programmes. Although around 40% of all cancers are preventable, public awareness of modifiable risk factors remains low. The European Code Against Cancer (ECAC), developed under the World Code Against Cancer Framework…
Health behaviour change among UK adults during the pandemic
A substantial proportion of participants reported attempts to change health behaviours in the initial survey phase. However, the lack of change observed over time indicated that overall motivation to engage in healthy behaviours was sustained among the UK adult population, from a period shortly after the first lockdown toward the end of the second prolonged lockdown
A smartphone based attentive eating intervention for energy intake and weight loss
ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03602001 . Registered retrospectively on 26th July 2018. Prospectively registered on the Open Science Framework on 11th August 2017
Focused attention during eating enhanced memory for meal satiety but did not reduce later snack intake in men
SD = 2.93; age M = 29.15, SD = 11.99) consumed a fixed lunchtime meal on two study days. On one study day participants were instructed to pay attention to the sensory properties of the meal as they ate (focused attention condition), and on the other study day participants ate lunch normally. Three hours after each lunchtime session, ad libitum consumption of snack food was measured, and measures of memory for the earlier lunchtime meal were compl…
Hypothesis awareness as a demand characteristic in laboratory-based eating behaviour research
No effect of focused attention whilst eating on later snack food intake
Focusing attention on food during a meal has been shown to reduce later snack consumption. We report the results of two studies that aimed to replicate this effect and to elucidate the underlying mechanisms. We hypothesised that focused attention during a lunchtime meal would improve visual memory and/or memory for the satiating effects of the meal, and that this would reduce later food intake. In Study 1, participants (N = 108, 52.8% female, BMI…
Focused attention and later food intake
The role of working memory sub-components in food choice and dieting success
Is the effect of focused attention on later food intake moderated by meal satisfaction
Working memory performance as a function of dietary restraint and tendency towards disinhibition
