The main challenges regarding healthy eating were (1) time and (2) cost, and the main resources to support healthy eating were (1) online resources (e.g., websites, Google) and (2) recipes. Findings identify possible targets for future interventions to support healthy eating in this vulnerable group (e.g., supporting cooking and food skills).]]> Wed 28 Feb 2024 14:45:46 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:35197 Wed 24 May 2023 12:06:57 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:49649 Wed 14 Jun 2023 18:46:51 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:30403 Wed 11 Apr 2018 17:15:50 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:22735 Wed 11 Apr 2018 15:22:08 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:15463 Wed 11 Apr 2018 13:43:44 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:26853 Wed 11 Apr 2018 10:14:29 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38157  3 months. Conclusions: Although differences in outcome effectiveness were identified between gender-targeted and gender-neutral studies, these were not significantly different. This is likely due to an insufficient number of studies to detect a difference. The meta-analysis for fruit and vegetable intake findings should be interpreted with caution due to including only two gender-targeted studies. The findings collectively are suggestive of a potential difference requiring further investigation. To truly determine the effectiveness of gender-targeted interventions, well-designed RCTs comparing gender-targeted interventions with gender-neutral and control are needed. Registration: This systematic review is a secondary analysis of studies included in a systematic review examining the effectiveness of interventions targeting nutrition, physical activity, or overweight/obesity in young adults, for which a predefined protocol was registered with PROSPERO (CRD42017075795).]]> Wed 04 Aug 2021 18:23:54 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:49757 Tue 30 May 2023 17:56:58 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:54055 2 to lose weight and positively influence physical activity and dietary behaviors of their children. There is a need to better understand the broader impact of father-focused, healthy lifestyle programs from the perspectives of other family members. This qualitative study explored the impact of a HDHK by gathering insights from the family unit (fathers, mothers/partners and children). Fathers and children who participated in the HDHK dissemination trial from the Maitland local government area (New South Wales, Australia) (n = 33) and all mothers/partners of participating HDHK were invited to take part in this qualitative study. Eleven focus groups were undertaken with 25 fathers (41.9 ± 6.3 years, 32.4 ± 5.1 kg/m2), 15 mothers/partners’ (38.1 ± 6.6 years), and 41 children (51% male, 8.2 ± 2.1 years). Audio recordings were transcribed and analyzed by an independent researcher using a standard general inductive approach to qualitative analysis with thematic analysis applied. Three key themes emerged, demonstrating several personal and family program impacts. These included a positive impact on: (i) the father-child relationship, (ii) new family habits (e.g., lifestyle changes within the family unit) and (iii) fathers’ involvement and parenting practices (e.g., increase in fathers’ household responsibilities). Improving the knowledge and skills of fathers and children through evidence-based strategies may be a useful approach to strengthen their relationship, enhance parenting strategies, and optimize health behaviors. Notably, findings showed the changes made by the fathers and children positively impacted the wider family unit.]]> Tue 30 Jan 2024 13:58:30 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:53963 Tue 23 Jan 2024 12:39:20 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51139 Tue 22 Aug 2023 15:58:19 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51123 Tue 22 Aug 2023 15:50:24 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:55706 Tue 18 Jun 2024 12:49:51 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:44293 Tue 11 Oct 2022 15:51:37 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:55501 Tue 04 Jun 2024 20:54:37 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:39504 Thu 28 Jul 2022 15:11:48 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:45400 Thu 27 Oct 2022 17:36:16 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:27496 Thu 21 Oct 2021 12:51:54 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:48874 Thu 13 Apr 2023 11:37:46 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:52204 Thu 05 Oct 2023 10:15:55 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:30380 Thu 03 Oct 2019 13:28:54 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38633 Thu 02 Dec 2021 15:37:24 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:44133 3 months. There were no differences between interventions focusing on weight loss or weight-gain prevention. Narrative synthesis showed significant between-group differences in weight change, favouring the intervention in 14/43 (33%) studies. In studies assessing BMI and waist circumference, this was 31% (11/36) and 25% (4/16). Two BCTs had a percentage effectiveness ratio >50% in weight loss interventions; social support (unspecified) and self-monitoring behaviour, and one in weight-gain prevention interventions; and goal-setting (outcome).

Narrative synthesis identified that 34 RCTs (52%) reported significant between group differences favouring the intervention for one or more PA outcome. BCTs with the highest effectiveness were material reward, valued self-identity and habit formation. However, the overall test of significance demonstrated no significant relationship between type or number of BCTs and effectiveness. This review identified interventions that improve steps, moderate-vigorous and total PA in young adults in the shorter-term, and BCTs associated with greater effectiveness. Further research is needed to determine strategies to achieve longer-term effectiveness of PA interventions in young adults.]]> Mon 22 May 2023 12:08:01 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:53924 Mon 22 Jan 2024 16:42:47 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:35699 3 months when compared to control. A meta-analysis (n = 5) on total energy intake found no significant differences between groups. The BCTs with the highest effectiveness ratio were habit formation (100%), salience of consequences (83%) and adding objects to the environment (70%). The review highlights the potential of behavioural interventions to improve young adults’ fruit and vegetable intake but was less convincing for other dietary outcomes. Due to the lack of studies including each BCT, the BCTs imperative to success could not be identified.]]> Fri 25 Oct 2019 13:13:14 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38991 Healthy Youngsters, Healthy Dads, on change in dietary intake in fathers and their preschool-aged children post-intervention (10 weeks) and at 9 months follow-up compared to a waitlist control group and (ii) investigate associations in father-child dietary intakes. Methods: Linear mixed models estimated group-by-time effects for all dietary outcomes, measured by food frequency questionnaires. Cohen's d determined effect sizes, while correlation tests determined associations in father-child dietary intakes. Results: For children, medium group-by-time effects sizes were identified at 10 weeks for sodium intake (d = 0.38) and percentage energy from core foods (d = 0.43), energy-dense, nutrient-poor (EDNP) foods (d = 0.43) and prepacked snacks (d = 0.45). These findings were sustained at 9 months follow-up. For fathers, medium to large, group-by-time effect sizes were identified at 10 weeks for energy intake (d = 0.55), sodium intake (d = 0.64) and percentage energy from core foods (d = 0.49), EDNP foods (d = 0.49), and confectionary (d = 0.36). For all of these dietary variables, except sodium, effects were sustained at 9 months. Moderate to strong associations existed in father-child dietary intakes for some of the dietary variables. Conclusions: Although further research is required, this study provides preliminary support for targeting fathers as agents of change to improve dietary intakes in their preschool-aged children.]]> Fri 25 Mar 2022 15:52:33 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:53069 50% of their time working with individuals with overweight/obesity, usually in private practice (47%). Two thirds of respondents had accessed best practice guidelines, but only 12% had completely read best practice guidelines. General healthy eating was the most frequent dietary approach used (77%). Seventy-five percent (n = 56) of dietitians reported that dietary interventions were selected based on client preference. Almost half of dietitians rated their knowledge and level of skill in management of obesity as good. Approximately 60% (n = 41) dietitians reported their skill gap was related to providing behavioural therapy/counselling. Results of the current survey indicate that use of best practice guidelines is low. However, dietitians surveyed reported that they had a good understanding of obesity management and choose a client centred approach to management, which is in line with current recommendations. Professional development activities, particularly regarding behavioural counselling are of particular interest to dietitians working with individuals with obesity.]]> Fri 17 Nov 2023 11:46:36 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:49373 6-month follow-up. Results: From 21 582 manuscripts identified, 107 RCT were included. Universities were the most common recruitment setting used in eighty-four studies (79 %). Less than half (46 %) of the studies provided sufficient information to evaluate whether individual recruitment strategies met sample size goals, with 77 % successfully achieving recruitment targets. Reporting for retention was slightly better with 69 % of studies providing sufficient information to determine whether individual retention strategies achieved adequate retention rates. Of these, 65 % had adequate retention. Conclusions: This review highlights poor reporting of recruitment and retention information across trials. Findings may not be applicable outside a university setting. Guidance on how to improve reporting practices to optimise recruitment and retention strategies within young adults could assist researchers in improving outcomes.]]> Fri 12 May 2023 13:45:28 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:36380 Fri 03 Apr 2020 16:45:31 AEDT ]]>
