The marketing of commercial foods for infants and toddlers in Australian supermarket catalogues
Commercial foods for infants and young children are prominent on supermarket shelves in Australia, with parents commonly believing they are a healthy choice, yet evidence shows many commercial foods are nutrient-poor. The aim of this study was to examine the nature and extent of promotions for commercial infant and toddler foods in Australian supermarket catalogues. Digital catalogues from four leading Australian supermarket chains were collected…
‘You Can Sort of Justify Having That Drink’
Parents' Perceptions of Claims on Packaged Commercial Toddler Foods
Commercial toddler foods (CTFs) are widely used. Many are nutritionally poor despite displaying health, nutrition or marketing claims implying healthiness. This study aimed to: (i) explore how claims on CTFs influence parents' product perceptions and preferences, and gauge support for regulatory reform to ensure CTFs are marketed responsibly; (ii) identify other factors influencing parent's and toddlers' perceptions and preferences towards CTFs a…
Clear front-of-pack labelling information can improve sunscreen reapplication knowledge and intentions
Under the current standard, sunscreen labels do not provide clear directions for use, which leaves consumers vulnerable to UV damage. Mandating FOP reapplication directions and adopting an alternative 'water resistant' claim could improve consumer understanding of how often to reapply sunscreen. Due to common misperceptions about the limits of water resistance, further user-centred label design and public education is needed to improve reapplicat…

Objectives: To examine the extent and nature of food and non-alcoholic drink advertising displayed on public transport and infrastructure on school routes. Design: Audit of outdoor advertisements on government-controlled public transport and associated infrastructure (e.g. tram shelters, bus stops) on busy school routes in Victoria, Australia. Using a strict protocol, trained field workers collected data on the type and content of outdoor adverti…
Seeing is believing
Child-oriented snack foods often display front-of-pack images suggesting they are natural or wholesome, yet many of these products are ultra-processed and nutrient poor. This study investigated parent's perceptions in response to common forms of front-of-pack food imagery on child-orientated snacks. An online experiment comprising four between-subjects food image conditions (no image; food photo; food cartoon; cartoon of children gardening) and t…
Prevalence and predictors of misperceptions of ‘better-for-you’ alcohol products among Australian adult drinkers
This study investigated the prevalence and predictors of misperceptions about the healthiness of alcohol products carrying common health-oriented marketing cues and the relative importance of the type (versus amount) of alcohol consumed in contributing to health risks. Data were from a 2022 cross-sectional national population survey. Australian adults (18–65 years) who consumed alcohol in the past year (n = 1960) reported their agreement with sta…
A Levantine Archaeological Response
This article is part of a special issue of the Journal of Ancient History , “Social Biographies of the Ancient World.” It serves as response paper whose purpose is to identify a core question underlying the three case studies in this special issue: does Bourdieu’s field theory help us to understand how people made decisions in the ancient world, given that its predictive capabilities will necessarily be limited by the information we have? To expl…
Evaluation of the population-level impacts of the LiveLighter® obesity prevention campaign from 2012 to 2019 based on serial cross-sectional surveys
LiveLighter® is associated with improvements in knowledge of the health risks associated with excess body mass, increased vegetable intake and reduced SSB consumption in WA adults. These findings support the use of sustained, well-designed healthy lifestyle promotion and education programs as part of a comprehensive obesity prevention strategy

Methods An online between-subjects experiment tested reactions to one of five advertisements: “Toxic Fat”;…
Can counter-advertising exposing alcohol sponsorship and harms influence sport spectators’ support for alcohol policies? An experimental study
Counter-advertising employing messages that expose and critique the intent and impact of pervasive alcohol sponsorship in sport has potential to bolster public support for policies targeting alcohol sport sponsorship, diminish beliefs supportive of alcohol industry marketing strategies and enhance negative views of alcohol companies and their marketing practices
Obesity prevention and related public health advertising versus competing commercial advertising expenditure in Australia
Mass media campaigns can change attitudes and behaviours to improve population health. However, a key challenge is achieving share of voice in a complex and cluttered media environment. The aim of this study was to compare advertising expenditure on public health campaigns for obesity prevention (and related healthy eating and physical activity campaigns) with competing commercial categories of (a) sugary drinks, (b) artificially sweetened drinks…
Reexamining Nebuchadnezzar II’s ‘Thirteen-Year’ Siege of Tyre in Phoenician Historiography
This study reexamines a lynchpin of Neo-Babylonian Levantine Phoenician historiography: Nebuchadnezzar II’s purported thirteen-year siege of Tyre in the early sixth century bce . This detail about the length of the siege can be found only in Josephus’ (first century ce ) writings, but this study’s new assessment of the (sixth-fifteenth century ce ) manuscript evidence shows that the more commonly transmitted length of the siege was “three years a…
Prevalence and Correlates of Observed Sun Protection Behaviors Across Different Public Outdoor Settings in Melbourne, Australia

Finding the keys to successful adult-targeted advertisements on obesity prevention
Findings provide preliminary evidence of the most promising content and executional styles of ads that could be pursued as part of obesity prevention campaigns. Ads emphasising the negative health consequences of excess weight appear to elicit stronger cognitive and emotional responses from adults with overweight/obesity. However, careful pre-testing of these types of ads is needed prior to their inclusion in actual campaigns to ensure they do no…

Alcohol harm reduction advertisements
Some message attributes have been employed more frequently than others, suggesting several promising avenues for future audience or population-based research to compare the relative effectiveness of different characteristics of alcohol harm reduction ads. Given most alcohol-attributable harm is due to long-term disease, these findings suggest future campaigns may fill a potentially important gap if they were to focus on long-term harms. There is …

Late 1st-Millennium B.C.E. Levantine Dog Burials as an Extension of Human Mortuary Behavior
Simple dog burials, dating primarily to the second half of the 1st millennium b.c.e. (Persian-Hellenistic periods [ca. 6th-1st centuries b.c.e.]), have been excavated at more than a dozen Levantine sites, ranging from a handful of burials to more than 1,000 at Ashkelon. This study systematizes previously discussed canine interments, distinguishing intentional whole burials from other phenomena (e.g., dogs found in refuse pits), and suggests a new…
