SNEB Journal Club 1: A Point-of-Purchase Intervention Using Grocery Store Tour Podcasts About Omega-3s

A Point-of-Purchase Intervention Using Grocery Store Tour Podcasts About Omega-3s Increases Long-Term Purchases of Omega-3–Rich Food Items
Descriptive statistics were performed on demographic characteristics. Wilcoxon signed-rank tests were used to assess whether food purchases increased from 6 months before to 6 months after intervention. Correlations assessed the relationship between intentions to purchase n-3–rich foods expressed on the intervention day with actual long-term n-3–rich food purchases. Nonparametric Kruskal-Wallis ANOVAs and Wilcoxon signed-rank tests were used to analyze differences between changes made and demographic variables (i.e., participants’ gender, race, and education levels).
SNEB Journal Club 2: Healthier Children's Meals in Restaurants: An Exploratory Study to Inform Acceptable Approaches
Monday, Oct. 2 | Noon - 1 p.m. | Register
Speakers: Stephanie Anzman-Frasca, PhD, University at Buffalo, Sara C. Folta, PhD, Tufts University
Webinar based on this JNEB article
Healthier Children's Meals in Restaurants: An Exploratory Study to Inform Approaches That Are Acceptable Across Stakeholders
A total of 63% of children ordered from children's menus, 8% of whom ordered healthier kids' meals. Half of parents reported that children determined their own orders. Taste was the most common reason for children's meal choices. Most (76%) children reported visiting the restaurant previously; 64% of them placed their usual order. Parents' views on toy incentives were mixed. Themes from executive interviews highlighted factors driving children's menu offerings, including children's habits and preferences and the need to use preexisting pantry items. Executives described menu changes as driven by profitability, consumer demand, regulation, and corporate social responsibility.
Learning Objectives:
- Discuss parents' and children's perspectives on children’s meals in restaurants and factors likely to influence their ordering decisions in these settings
- Discuss drivers of and challenges with modifications to create healthier menus from the point of view of the restaurant executives
- Consider implications of the study’s findings for interventions to promote healthier eating in restaurants

Julia Kim, a doctoral student in the Division of Nutritional Sciences at U of I began to study previous research on the demographics of women who tend to breastfeed and the disparity was confirmed. Although breastfeeding rates have increased for African American women over the years, the literature shows that African-American moms are less likely to start and continue breastfeeding than mothers of other ethnicities.
