Drinking water promotion and access shows promise for preventing weight gain. This study evaluated the impact of Water First, a school-based intervention on changes in overweight.Low-income, ethnically diverse elementary schools California's Bay Area were cluster-randomized to control groups. First includes classroom lessons, stations, schoolwide over 1 school year. The primary outcome was overweight prevalence (BMI-for-age-and-sex ≥85th percentile). Students (n = 1249) 56 fourth-grade...
In 2015, depressive disorders led to over 50 million disability-adjusted life years lost globally, with more than 80% occurring in low- and middle-income countries. Depressive are also risk factors of a number adverse maternal child health outcomes. To our knowledge, the Singida Nutrition Agroecology Project (SNAP-Tz), is first nutrition-sensitive agriculture (NSA) intervention identified improve women's probable depression (2020). Food security has been posited play an important role...

Abstract Objective: School-based interventions encouraging children to replace sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) with water show promise for reducing child overweight. However, students food insecurity (CFI) may not respond nutrition like who are food-secure. Design: The Water First cluster randomized trial found that school access and promotion prevented overweight increased intake. This secondary analysis used mixed-effects regression evaluate the interaction between intervention...
Reports of unsafe school drinking water in the United States highlight importance ensuring is safe for consumption. Our objectives were to describe (1) results from our recent sampling 5 common contaminants, (2) school-level factors associated with exceedances various quality standards, and (3) recommendations.
There is growing recognition of the importance maternal mental health for well‐being both mothers and children. In addition to being public concern on its own right, depression could impede women's capacity provide quality care their However, covariates depression, especially in low‐resource settings, are not well‐understood. particular, role gender equity needs further investigation. Therefore, we sought understand associated with a rural farming community Tanzania. We hypothesized that...
Abstract Over half of U.S. adults visit parks regularly. Thus, it is important to understand how park drinking water sources affect visitors’ consumption. In this cross-sectional study 30 San Francisco Bay Area parks, 4 day-long direct observations and other beverages were conducted, along with audits sugar-sweetened beverage access source conditions, including flow, appeal, obstructions. Outcomes log-transformed account for skewness, results analyzed using mixed-effects regression models...
Abstract Objective: To investigate if food security mediated the impact of a nutrition-sensitive agroecology intervention on women’s depressive symptoms. Design: We used annual longitudinal data (four time points) from cluster-randomised effectiveness trial participatory intervention, Singida Nutrition and Agroecology Project. Structural equation modelling estimation total, natural direct indirect effects was to security’s role in intervention’s risk probable depression (Center for...
Childhood vaccines and biannual vitamin A delivery by health systems are key to child health; suboptimal administration may be a result of inadequate coverage or access systems. There have been national programs set in Ethiopia, such as the sector development program, improve health. Therefore, we sought describe trends infant urban rural settings Ethiopia. We hypothesized there would an increase over time infants (1) receiving all basic (2) past 6 months. also (3) higher settings. used four...
