Development and results of the German National Strategy for the Promotion of Breastfeeding
Breast milk is the optimal nutrition for infants. However, the proportion of mothers who exclusively breastfeed their children in Germany is low (40% end of 4th month; 13% end of 6th month). A systematic evaluation of breastfeeding promotion has ranked Germany as moderately breastfeeding-friendly. Therefore, the federal government has commissioned the Department of Child Nutrition at the Max Rubner-Institut to coordinate the interdisciplinary dev…
An Iterative, Participatory Approach to Developing a Neighborhood-Level Indicator System of Health and Wellbeing
Despite increased awareness of the essential role of neighborhood characteristics for residents' health and wellbeing, the development of neighborhood-level indicator systems has received relatively little attention to date. To address this gap, we describe the participatory development process of a small-area indicator system that includes information on local health needs in a pilot neighborhood in the German city of Mannheim. To identify relev…
University Fairness Questionnaire (UFair)
Distress is a widespread phenomenon in the general population, but also among university students, associated with poorer learning success and negative health consequences. A source of distress might be the experience of injustice. Theoretical and empirical work in the area of perceived fairness in the workplace ("organizational justice") has shown that perceived unfairness is related to various stress indicators and health outcomes. Preliminary …
Obesity à la carte? Children’s meal options in German full-service restaurants
Objective: In light of the increasing prevalence of juvenile obesity seen around the world, obesogenic environments in general and the food environment in particular are receiving increasing attention in current public health research. Restaurants play a significant role in the food environment. The present study aimed to quantitatively describe and qualitatively evaluate the range of children’s meals available in full-service restaurants in Germ…
Identification of starting points to promote health and wellbeing at the community level – a qualitative study
That health and wellbeing were not identified explicitly as a priority by key informants suggests that these should not be presented as the primary focus of a community-wide initiative. Instead themes with a higher priority should be addressed in ways that can lead to better health and wellbeing as a secondary goal
Loneliness at Universities
The transition from school to university is associated with social, structural, and behavioral changes. These changes may be related to feelings of loneliness, which are in turn related to morbidity. The authors' aim was to quantify loneliness among students and to identify its determinants and its relation to transition-related variables (e.g., changes in weight, diet, or physical activity since the transition from high school to university). Co…
