SNEB Journal Club 2: Healthier Children's Meals in Restaurants: An Exploratory Study to Inform Acceptable Approaches
Monday, Oct. 2 | Noon - 1 p.m. EDT | 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 percent of children ordered from children's menus, 8 percent 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 percent) children reported visiting the restaurant previously; 64 percent 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
SNEB Journal Club 3: Staff Workshop Improves Child Care Center Menus in South Central Texas: A Best Food FITS Intervention
Monday, Oct. 9 | Noon - 1 p.m. EDT | Register
Speakers: Brittany Markides, MS, RD, Lecturer, Nutrition and Foods, Texas State University; Sylvia Crixell, PhD, RD, Professor, Nutrition and Foods, Texas State University; Lesli Biediger-Friedman Assistant Professor, Nutrition and Foods, Texas State University
Webinar based on this JNEB article
Staff Workshop Improves Child Care Center Menus in South Central Texas: A Best Food for Families, Infants, and Toddlers (Best Food FITS) Intervention
Workshop interventions with community childcare center staff show promise in improving menus. This study revealed significant differences in childcare center menus by collecting four weeks of menus, employing SuperTracker to cluster data by day and center, and analyzing the menu data using the SAS macro, MIXCORR, in a manner similar to that used by the National Cancer Institute to assess diet records. Hosting workshops with community childcare center staff may provide a service-learning opportunity for nutrition students and dietetic interns enrolled in universities.
Learning Objectives:
- Describe elements of a childcare center workshop intervention that can engage childcare center directors and staff.
- Describe how to assess the impact of a workshop intervention using SuperTracker and MIXCORR.
- Describe how to compare and display pre-post childcare center menu HEI scores.
SNEB Journal Club 4: Design and Evaluation of a Training Protocol for a Visual Estimation of Fruit and Vegetable Intake
Monday, Oct. 16 | Noon - 1 p.m. EDT | Register
Speaker: Natalie Masis, PhD, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
Webinar based on this JNEB article
Design and Evaluation of a Training Protocol for a Photographic Method of Visual Estimation of Fruit and Vegetable Intake among Kindergarten Through Second-Grade Students
Fruit and vegetable intake data can be invasive and time-consuming to collect; however, more methods in visual estimation of intake have been used to mitigate some of the issues associated with data collection. Having a training protocol for fruit and vegetable intake is essential in the reliable collection and assessment of intake data among raters.
Learning Objectives:
- Describe the importance of assessing fruit and vegetable intake in the lunchroom setting for school research.
- Describe the development of a training protocol for visual estimation of fruit and vegetable intake.
- Identify implications for research when creating a training protocol in use of lab or school settings and items to consider.
