The aim of this study was to obtain the perceptions and attitudes of school-aged children and adolescents (4-18 years) on existing models and approaches to food education and food messages. Data were collected using friendship paired interviews and focus groups from the children and adolescents (n = 70) within Northern Ireland (NI) and Republic of Ireland (ROI) in seven primary and six post-primary schools, which were recruited to reflect different groups in terms of gender, age, region and rural/urban. Data were analysed using reflexive thematic analysis (RTA) with NVivo supporting the coding and analysis. Three themes were identified, (i) 'Impactful messaging'; (ii) 'Guidance and support', and (iii) 'Improving messaging and education'. This study found that food messaging and delivery needs to be age-appropriate, consistent and accurate from multiple sources to cut through the 'noise' of less healthy food messages. Children and adolescents want increased voice and agency in their food education, as they know what works for them, such as opportunities with peers and social media. By using co-design methodologies, food education can be better aligned with their needs and interests. Striking the right balance between 'tasty' and 'healthy' is a clear recommendation from children and adolescents to rethink their involvement in food education.</p>","PeriodicalId":54256,"journal":{"name":"Health Promotion International","volume":"40 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12485605/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145202155","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This systematic review aimed to evaluate whether the DDoH are addressed in the development or delivery of digital nutrition interventions for adolescents, and whether this impacts access or use of these interventions to influence nutrition outcomes. Ten major electronic databases were searched and dual screened, capturing randomized controlled trials published from 2005 that aimed to improve nutrition outcomes through digital health interventions among adolescents 10-19 years. Primary outcome was objective or self-report change in nutrition intake or behaviours. DDoH assessment criteria were developed against nine pre-established dimensions. Study and intervention characteristics including information aligning with DDoH assessment criteria were extracted, and data synthesized in narrative format. Twenty articles representing 19 unique studies (13 246 participants) were identified, with 84% of studies conducted in high-income countries. All studies delivered interventions through mobile phone or computers and addressed at least one DDoH criteria. Affordability (100%) and usability (42%) were the most common DDoH criteria addressed. No studies successfully addressed all DDoH criteria. Therefore, we were unable to assess impact of addressing DDoH on adolescent nutrition outcomes.

The commercial determinants of health (CDoH) play a key role in shaping the development and growth of AMR. It is important to recognise these commercial factors and situate them within the complex system which describes the emergence and transmission of AMR, so that we can begin to evaluate their impact. There are several feedback loops in the AMR system that prevent a linear 'cause and effect' solution presenting itself to policymakers. These factors are all complexly interdependent and a solution requires recognition of this complexity. We take it for granted that one solution alone cannot tackle the issue of the growing threat of AMR. For this reason, we propose the use of complex system dynamics to visualize key interdependencies within the system. By building on existing systems maps of AMR, we propose to explore and highlight the relationships between the CDoH and AMR in order to demonstrate how commercial factors have consequences for and knock-on effects on other elements (and potential policy suggestions) within the system. In short, the proposed systems map is a tool that can be used to (i) represent some of the ways that commercial factors impact on AMR and (ii) visually simplify the complexity of the issue at hand. We provide a map that could act as a starting point to demonstrate our argument and act as a baseline to be developed going forward in collaboration with other research and non-research actors within the system.</p>","PeriodicalId":54256,"journal":{"name":"Health Promotion International","volume":"40 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12343032/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144838581","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Exploratory factor analysis suggested seven factors, three of which represented general health literacy and the other four pertained to social health literacy, mental health literacy, digital literacy, and numeracy. The three factors of general health literacy cover slightly different constructs (e.g. ability vs. motivation to find health information) and may reflect differences in the rating scales (easy to difficult vs. agree to disagree). Confirmatory factor analysis on independent testing data supported this seven-factor structure with selected items. Each factor showed, overall, small correlations with mental and physical health and healthy lifestyles, which leaves the discriminant validity open for future research. These results suggest that subjective health literacy scales can be reduced to a smaller, more parsimonious number of factors.
