Predictors and impacts of financial insecurity among university students
Financial insecurity is a significant challenge for university students, affecting both wellbeing and study participation. Guided by a socio-ecological perspective, this study examines financial insecurity among university students as a multi-level issue shaped by individual, institutional, and broader structural conditions. A cross-sectional survey examined the prevalence of financial insecurity among Australian university students and its assoc…
Co‐Developing User‐Centred Nutrition Educational Resources to Integrate Nutrition Into Multiple Sclerosis Care
INTRODUCTION: Nutrition is often overlooked in multiple sclerosis (MS) care, leading to a gap in comprehensive patient management. Developing MS-specific nutrition educational resources could address this gap. This study therefore aimed to collaboratively develop MS-specific nutrition educational resources with healthcare professionals (HCPs) and people living with MS (plwMS) to support the future integration of nutrition into MS care. METHODS: A…
Food provision and healthy eating environments in before school care
Objective: Australian children fall short of national dietary guidelines with only 63 % consuming adequate fruit and 10 % enough vegetables. Before school care operates as part of Out of School Hours Care (OSHC) services and provides opportunities to address poor dietary habits in children. The aim of this study was to describe the food and beverages provided in before school care and to explore how service-level factors influence food provision.…
Knowledge, practices and perceptions of nut metabolisable energy on nutrition labels in Australia
Objective: Nut consumption is low, with concern regarding weight gain as a barrier to intake. However, evidence indicates no association between nut consumption and body weight. The metabolisable energy of nuts may partly explain this phenomenon. This study aims to qualitatively explore perceptions of presenting nut metabolisable energy on nutrition labels, and the potential influence this may have on consumption. Design: Semi-structured focus gr…
Examination of social media nutrition information related to multiple sclerosis
Objective: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, auto-immune, neurodegenerative condition with increasing global prevalence. People living with MS (plwMS) have reported limited guidance relating to nutrition information. Paired with varied health literacy levels, this makes plwMS susceptible to nutrition misinformation. Design: A cross-sectional online social network analysis (SNA) examining nutrition information for MS. Setting: A systematic SNA…
The role of multidisciplinary MS care teams in supporting lifestyle behaviour changes to optimise brain health among people living with MS
INTRODUCTION: Healthcare professionals have an important role in advocating for the adoption of a brain-healthy lifestyle for optimal multiple sclerosis (MS) care. Nonetheless, studies to date have mainly focussed on the consumer perspective. Herein, we aimed to explore the current practices of how healthcare professionals support protective, lifestyle-related behaviour changes to optimise brain health among people living with MS (plwMS), and the…
A Qualitative Exploration of the Socioecological Influences Shaping the Diagnostic Experience and Self‐Management Practices Among People Newly Diagnosed With Multiple Sclerosis
BACKGROUND: People newly diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) often pursue 'health-related' behaviour changes to feel in control of their diagnosis. However, little is known about the specific factors that may influence behaviour change during this crucial time. Therefore, we conducted an in-depth exploration of the socioecological influences impacting the diagnostic experience and self-management practices following an MS diagnosis. METHODS: W…
A systematic review of observational studies exploring the relationship between health and non-weight-centric eating behaviours
Higher diet quality is associated with short and long-term benefits on SF-6D health state utilities
Background/Purpose Health state utilities (HSU) are a subjective measure of an individual's health-related quality of life (HRQoL), adjusted by societal or patient relative preference weights for living in different states of health-related quality of life (HRQoL), derived from patient-reported responses to multi-attribute utility instrument (MAUI), and can be used as inputs for cost-utility analyses and in clinical assessment. This research asse…

Australian Aboriginal children talking culture
The purpose of this paper, is to invite health educators to see children as Country – to listen to, learn from and see the child spirit often not observed in academia. We do this by asking, ‘What can we as academics and adults learn from Australian Aboriginal children’s talk about culture?’ To do this, we examine photos taken by Aboriginal children on what culture means to them. We also draw on interview data of the children speaking about their …
Systematic observation of healthy eating environments in after-school services
Objectives: Few studies have examined the healthy eating environments within the Australian out of school hours care (OSHC) setting. This study aims to describe healthy eating environments, consisting of: (a) the alignment of provided food and beverages to Australian Dietary Guidelines; (b) healthy eating promotion practices; (c) nutrition education through cooking experiences; (d) staff role modelling healthy eating and (e) regular water availab…
Nut consumption in a representative survey of Australians
Objective: Nut consumption is associated with a range of health benefits. The current study aimed to examine nut consumption in the 2011–2012 National Nutrition and Physical Activity Survey (NNPAS) and to investigate associations between nut intake, nutrient intake and anthropometric and blood pressure measurements. Design: Secondary analysis of the 2011–2012 NNPAS. Usual consumption of nuts in the 2011–2012 NNPAS was determined, and nut consumpt…
Whole grain intake of Australians estimated from a cross-sectional analysis of dietary intake data from the 2011–13 Australian Health Survey
Objective The Australian Dietary Guidelines recommend Australians choose mostly whole-grain and/or high-fibre varieties within the grains (cereal) foods category, with other groups specifying a whole grain Daily Target Intake of 48 g for Australians aged 9 years or above. The USA and UK report estimates of whole grain intake that are low and declining, and no comprehensive studies on whole grain intake in the Australian population are available. …
The major types of added sugars and non-nutritive sweeteners in a sample of Australian packaged foods
Objective Limiting the intake of added sugars in the diet remains a key focus of global dietary recommendations. To date there has been no systematic monitoring of the major types of added sugars used in the Australian food supply. The present study aimed to identify the most common added sugars and non-nutritive sweeteners in the Australian packaged food supply. Design Secondary analysis of data from the Australian FoodSwitch database was undert…

Meeting recommended dietary intakes in meal plans with ≥4 servings of grain-based foods daily
Objective To develop meal plans using grain-based foods demonstrating how to incorporate wholegrain foods into a balanced diet for weight maintenance for different cuisines. The present study examines the ability of meal plans with ≥4 grain-based servings daily to meet nutrient recommendations using lacto-ovo vegetarian and rice-based cuisines. Design Eighteen plans from each cuisine for three age brackets for both genders were developed. Plans a…
The impact of complex survey design on prevalence estimates of intakes of food groups in the Australian National Children's Nutrition and Physical Activity Survey
Objective To assess the impact of the complex survey design used in the 2007 Australian National Children's Nutrition and Physical Activity Survey (ANCNPAS07) on prevalence estimates for intakes of groups of foods in the population of children. Design The impacts on prevalence estimates were determined by calculating design effects for values for food group consumption. The implications of ignoring elements of the sample design including stratifi…
Consumers' salient beliefs regarding dairy products in the functional food era
Nutrition education provided as a result of weight loss trial participation influenced behavioural and control beliefs relating to dairy products. This study provides a proof of concept indication that nutrition education may improve attitudes towards dairy products and may thus be an important target for public health campaigns seeking to increase intake of this food group
