Nutrient Composition and Health Information on the Labels of Commercially Produced Complementary Foods in Nepal
Commercially produced complementary foods (CPCFs) - commercially produced food or beverage products that are specifically marketed as suitable for feeding infant and young children (IYC) from 6-36 months of age - are increasingly available in Southeast Asia and purchased by caregivers. However, we know little about the nutrient composition of these foods or health-related information on the packaging of the CPCFs available in Nepal. This study as…

Interventions to promote physical distancing behaviour during infectious disease pandemics or epidemics
Perceptions of commercial snack food and beverages for infant and young child feeding
Ensuring nutritious complementary feeding is vital for child nutrition. Prior research in Kathmandu Valley found high consumption rates of commercially produced snack foods among young children, which are often energy-dense/nutrient poor. This mixed-methods study was conducted to elicit Nepali caregivers' perceptions of commercial snack foods and beverages and factors influencing their use for young child feeding. Seven facilitated focus group di…
Energy intake from unhealthy snack food/beverage among 12‐23‐month‐old children in urban Nepal
Unhealthy snack food and beverage (USFB) consumption among young children has been noted in many low-income and middle-income countries (LMIC), however, there is a lack of information on the contribution of these foods to children's diets in these contexts. This study describes the nutrient profiles and costs of snacks consumed by young children in Kathmandu Valley, Nepal, and assesses the proportion of total energy intake from nonbreastmilk food…
How behavioural science can contribute to health partnerships
BACKGROUND: Health partnerships often use health professional training to change practice with the aim of improving quality of care. Interventions to change practice can learn from behavioural science and focus not only on improving the competence and capability of health professionals but also their opportunity and motivation to make changes in practice. We describe a project that used behavioural scientist volunteers to enable health partnershi…
