Abstract

Consumer engagement is important to design high-quality educational nutrition information that holistically addresses consumers’ needs. This can occur through consultation and feedback mechanisms like surveys or focus groups, consumer expert panels or advisory boards to provide the consumers’ perspective, or through participatory research methods. The extent of consumer engagement also varies with differing levels of influence over the decision-making process. This systematic scoping review aimed to explore and synthesize the extent to which consumers are engaged in designing various types of educational nutrition interventions, the methods and levels of consumer engagement, and its impact on the resulting educational nutrition information presented. We comprehensively searched Medline via OVID, Scopus, Web of Science, CINAHL, and PsycINFO. Each article was independently screened by 2 authors by title and abstract. Two reviewers independently assessed the full text of the remaining articles for eligibility. Two authors independently extracted data from the 36 final articles (15 original and 21 substudies), including consumer engagement assessment per the International Association of Public Participation (IAP2) spectrum. Fourteen of the 15 studies obtained input from consumers to inform the design of the educational nutrition information in terms of content, design, wording, and platform. However, consumer engagement across the studies mostly sat within the “Consult” and “Involve” level of the IAP2 spectrum, with only 1 study achieving a “Collaborate” engagement level. This suggests a low level of genuine consumer partnership in the studies to date. Consumer engagement across the studies differed on how and the extent to which consumers were engaged in designing educational nutrition information. Greater emphasis on shared decision-making and collaborating with consumers right from the start is key to ensuring that educational nutrition information designed for them best addresses their needs and preferences, which potentially translates to better health outcomes.

消费者参与老年人及其照顾者营养教育信息的设计：范围审查。

背景：消费者参与对于设计高质量的教育营养信息，全面满足消费者的需求是很重要的。这可以通过咨询和反馈机制来实现，如调查或焦点小组、消费者专家小组或咨询委员会，以提供消费者的观点，或者通过参与式研究方法。消费者参与的程度也随着对决策过程影响程度的不同而不同。目的：本系统的范围审查旨在探索和综合消费者参与设计各种教育营养干预措施的程度，消费者参与的方法和水平，以及其对所提供的教育营养信息的影响。方法：综合检索OVID、Scopus、Web of Science、CINAHL、PsycINFO等Medline数据库。每篇文章由两位作者根据标题和摘要独立筛选。两名审稿人独立评估了剩余文章的全文是否合格。两位作者独立地从36篇最终文章（15篇原创文章和21篇子研究）中提取了数据，其中包括根据国际公众参与协会（IAP2）频谱对消费者参与度的评估。结果：在15项研究中，有14项研究从消费者那里获得了营养教育信息的内容、设计、措辞和平台的设计信息。然而，这些研究中的消费者参与度大多处于IAP2的“咨询”和“参与”级别，只有一项研究达到了“合作”级别。这表明，在迄今为止的研究中，真正的消费者伙伴关系水平很低。结论：消费者参与研究的方式和程度不同，消费者参与设计教育营养信息。从一开始就更加强调共同决策和与消费者合作是确保为他们设计的营养教育信息最好地满足他们的需求和偏好的关键，这可能转化为更好的健康结果。

期刊介绍： Advances in Nutrition (AN/Adv Nutr) publishes focused reviews on pivotal findings and recent research across all domains relevant to nutritional scientists and biomedical researchers. This encompasses nutrition-related research spanning biochemical, molecular, and genetic studies using experimental animal models, domestic animals, and human subjects. The journal also emphasizes clinical nutrition, epidemiology and public health, and nutrition education. Review articles concentrate on recent progress rather than broad historical developments. In addition to review articles, AN includes Perspectives, Letters to the Editor, and supplements. Supplement proposals require pre-approval by the editor before submission. The journal features reports and position papers from the American Society for Nutrition, summaries of major government and foundation reports, and Nutrient Information briefs providing crucial details about dietary requirements, food sources, deficiencies, and other essential nutrient information. All submissions with scientific content undergo peer review by the Editors or their designees prior to acceptance for publication.
