NCT05907616
The study will include women enrolled during the second trimester of pregnancy who will be provided with a specific amount per month for 10 months to purchase produce. Women will be provided with up to three nutrition education sessions and will be sent text message reminders to redeem their incentives every month and to provide them with nutrition tips. The study will use a co-design approach to utilize feedback from potential participants as well as participants at multiple time points in the process to improve the intervention and make it more relevant and impactful to our population.

The goal of this pilot intervention is to learn if the Ta'am Mustadam program helps young adults make more sustainable food choices. It will also explore how the program affects their food choices, knowledge, intentions, practices, and self-reported behaviors towards sustainable food choices, as well as energy and nutrient intake. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does the Ta'am Mustadam program increase intake of fruits, vegetables, and plant-based foods? * Does it reduce red and processed meat consumption? * Does it change participants' food choice? The minor questions it aims to answer are: * Does it improve participants' knowledge, intentions, practices toward sustainable eating? * Does it change participant's energy and nutrient intake? Participants will: * Take part in a 6-week program, followed by a 4-week follow-up * Receive engaging educational messages \&awareness videos about sustainability * Watch interactive video recipes * Participate in hands-on activities * Receive daily reminders * Complete questionnaires before, right after, and one month after the program Researchers will use the RE-AIM framework to assess how well the program works and whether it can be applied in real-life settings.

Obesity is currently one of the most substantial health burdens. Due to the production of marked and sustained weight loss, bariatric surgery is an increasingly used therapeutic modality to combat obesity and its comorbidities. Surgical rearrangement of the gastrointestinal tract remarkably alters metabolism and hormones acting on neurological and hypothalamic signalling, involved in food decision-making and eating behaviour. In this context, many patients who underwent bariatric surgery self-report changes in appetite, satiety and food preferences. Furthermore, new gut hormone-based (e.g. GLP-1 receptor agonist or GLP-1-RA) pharmacotherapies which mimic the effect of bariatric surgery show impressive efficacy on weight reduction by modulation of food behaviour. However, the mechanisms of such functional changes, and how they relate to food decision-making and food purchase behaviour remain unknown. In Part 2 of the BrainFood-project, the investigators propose a novel approach using digital receipts from loyalty card to unravel the effect of obesity treatments (surgical and non-surgical) on eating and food purchase behaviour in daily life.
NCT06516627
The goal of this study is to determine whether certain front-of-package food labeling systems improve the healthfulness of consumers' grocery selections. US adults who are their households' primary shoppers will complete a shopping task in a naturalistic online grocery store. They will be exposed to different front-of-package food labeling systems and asked to shop for groceries. The online store will record participants' selections. Participants will also be asked to complete survey measures.
NCT04011384
Obesity, unhealthy dietary habits, and food insecurity are major public health concerns, especially affecting individuals living in poverty. Food pantries, which provide free food to those in need, are increasingly interested in promoting healthy choices, but few rigorous studies have tested healthy eating interventions in food pantry settings. The overall objective of this proposal is to conduct a randomized-controlled trial among 500 regular food pantry clients to compare the influence of a behavioral economic intervention to promote healthier food choices delivered via a web-based ordering platform to usual care (control group).
NCT05432271
The aim of this study is to compare the impact of 5 different types of front of package (FOP) food and beverage labels: 1) calorie labels \[control\], 2) green labels on healthy foods, 3) red/yellow/green labels on less healthy/moderately healthy/healthy foods, 4) physical activity calorie equivalent labels, and 5) "High in" nutrient warning labels) on consumers' beverage and snack selections.

Unhealthy eating habits are a social challenge in this century, regarding that children usually refuse to eat and taste fruits and vegetables. The Dastatuz project aims to study children food neophobia (the term used referring the reluctance to taste new foods) and fruit and vegetables acceptance. It pretends to tackle the issue from an early stage: pregnancy, lactation and complementary feeding. In this sense, the Project aspires to assess the possible impact of maternal diet and complementary feeding on young children eating behaviour until 18 months of age. In addition, it intends to study the effect that the type of complementary feeding (spoon-fed or baby-led) might have on that eating behaviour. Considering these objectives, a quasi-experimental, multicenter, controlled and prospective intervention study is proposed. If it proved to be effective, this experience would have a high potential to be transferred and would open the possibility to give way to future public programs or guidelines, as a basic and easy solution to achieve higher fruit and vegetable intake among children and, consequently, the potential health benefits this may bring. Besides, taking into consideration the above mentioned ideas, the investigators hypothesized that a high intake and variety of fruit and vegetables (FV) during pregnancy and breastfeeding will lead to distinctive sensorial experiences for the baby, different from those of the babies whose mothers following a "standard diet" (as described in the National Nutrition Surveys). This consumption profile will promote the acceptance of fruits and vegetables along complementary feeding. Additionally, a correct baby-led weaning (BLW) may also contribute to establish these healthy eating habits.
NCT03826576
This study evaluates the effect of a multicomponent intervention applied to restaurant staff about training and nutritional quality of menu improvement, in order to promote a healthy diet and a better management of allergies and intolerances addressed to each family member satisfying the customers with specific needs (allergies and intolerances of food).
