Schools provide a relevant and equitable environment to influence students towards increased vegetable consumption. This study aimed evaluate the effectiveness of Vegetable Education Resource To Increase Children’s Acceptance Liking (VERTICAL) for Australian primary schools (curriculum aligned based on framework food preference development sensory experiential learning) positively influencing factors predisposing children The secondary aim was two levels teacher training intensity...
To measure the effectiveness of a new sensory education program for Australian primary (elementary) schoolchildren (Vegetable Education Resource to Increase Children's Acceptance and Liking [VERTICAL]) designed increase vegetable enjoyment positively predispose consumption.Pretest posttest (collected 2 weeks after intervention) survey data (n = 299) on cognitive, attitudinal, behavioral factors associated with consumption were compared between intervention (which followed VERTICAL,...
Interactions between Brassica vegetables and human saliva can affect in-mouth odor development, which in turn may be linked to individual perception liking. S-Methyl-l-cysteine sulfoxide is a unique substrate present Brassicas that produces odor-active sulfur volatiles due the activity of enzymes plant tissue bacteria, varying extents an individual's oral microbiome. Proton transfer reaction mass spectrometry was applied measure differences volatile production real time when fresh incubated...
To determine the reach, adoption, implementation and effectiveness of an intervention to increase children's vegetable intake in long day care (LDC).
Globally, children do not eat enough core foods, with vegetable intakes persistently low. Early life is critical for establishing acceptance and intake. Increased usage of formal childcare has led to the importance settings shaping children's food This study will use multiphase optimisation strategy develop, optimise evaluate effectiveness a multicomponent initiative package increase 2-to-5-year-old intake in long day care centres.
Children’s vegetable intake remains inadequate and school canteens may provide opportunities to address this public health concern. This study aimed determine the effectiveness of an 8-week multi-strategy behavioral intervention that included provisioning online menu architecture on sales in primary canteens. A randomized controlled trial was undertaken 16 Australian schools (n = 4302 students). The control arm kept their regular canteen menu. outcome measured by assessing content (in grams)...
Abstract Objectives: Consumption is driven by children’s sensory acceptance, but little known about the characteristics of vegetables that children commonly eat. A greater understanding could help design more effective interventions to raise intakes, thus realising beneficial health effects. This study sought to: (1) Understand vegetable consumption patterns in children, with and without potatoes, using Australian WHO definitions. (2) Describe consumed age group, level intake variety. (3)...
The teacher-led implementation of healthy eating programs in schools is cost-effective and potentially impactful. Teacher acceptability important for uptake; however, process evaluations are scarce. This study evaluated the effect two intensities teacher training on evaluation a vegetable education program Australian primary by teachers. teachers (n = 65) who implemented as part cluster RCT (25 states, New South Wales Australia) received either low- (provision with materials online training)...
