likelihood of breastfeeding within the usda s food and Nutrition Service special supplemental Nutrition program for women infants and children population
Journal of Human Lactation, 2017Co-Authors: Bailey Houghtaling, Carmen Byker Shanks, Mica JenkinsAbstract:Background:Breastfeeding is an important public health initiative. Low-income women benefiting from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food and Nutrition Service Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) are a prime population for breastfeeding promotion efforts.Research aim:This study aims to determine factors associated with increased likelihood of breastfeeding for WIC participants.Methods:The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis statement guided the systematic review of literature. Database searches occurred in September and October 2014 and included studies limited to the previous 10 years. The following search terms were used: low-income; WIC; women, infants, and children; breastfeeding; breast milk; and maternal and child health. The criterion for inclusion was a study sample of women and children enrolled in the WIC program, thereby excluding non-United States–based research.Results:Factors that increased the likelihood of breastf...

the impact of the 2009 special supplemental Nutrition program for women infants and children food package revisions on participants a systematic review
Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, 2015Co-Authors: Daniel Schultz, Carmen Byker Shanks, Bailey HoughtalingAbstract:Abstract For the first time since 1980, the US Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) food package policies were revised in 2009 to meet the Institute of Medicine's Nutrition recommendations. These changes included increases in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and low-fat dairy to improve Nutrition and health of WIC participants. Our systematic review of the literature assessed the influence that the 2009 WIC food package revisions have had on dietary intake, healthy food and beverage availability, and breastfeeding participation. The systematic review followed Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses recommendations. Four electronic databases were searched between April 1 and 30, 2014, for peer-reviewed research. Two reviewers screened the articles, extracted the data, and established inter-rater reliability by discussing and resolving discrepancies. Twenty articles were included that met our inclusion criteria. Nine of the studies analyzed changes in dietary intake, eight examined changes in healthy food and beverage availability, and three evaluated breastfeeding participation exclusively. The review demonstrated an improved dietary intake and an increase in the availability of healthier foods and beverages in authorized WIC stores. The revised food package was also associated with improved dietary intake of WIC participants. Mixed results were demonstrated in regard to improved breastfeeding outcomes. Further research is needed to assess the influence of WIC 2009 food package revisions on breastfeeding outcomes and to make conclusions about broad Nutrition-related implications.

consumer adoption of personalised Nutrition Services from the perspective of a risk benefit trade off
Genes and Nutrition, 2015Co-Authors: Aleksandra Berezowska, A R H Fischer, A Ronteltap, Ivo A Van Der Lans, Hans C M Van TrijpAbstract:Through a Privacy Calculus (i.e. risk–benefit trade-off) lens, this study identifies factors that contribute to consumers’ adoption of personalised Nutrition Services. We argue that consumers’ intention to adopt personalised Nutrition Services is determined by perceptions of Privacy Risk, Personalisation Benefit, Information Control, Information Intrusiveness, Service Effectiveness, and the Benevolence, Integrity, and Ability of a Service provider. Data were collected in eight European countries using an online survey. Results confirmed a robust and Europe-wide applicable cognitive model, showing that consumers’ intention to adopt personalised Nutrition Services depends more on Perceived Personalisation Benefit than on Perceived Privacy Risk. Perceived Privacy Risk was mainly determined by perceptions of Information Control, whereas Perceived Personalisation Benefit primarily depended on Perceived Service Effectiveness. Services that required increasingly intimate personal information, and in particular DNA, raised consumers’ Privacy Risk perceptions, but failed to increase perceptions of Personalisation Benefit. Accordingly, to successfully exploit personalised Nutrition, Service providers should convey a clear message regarding the benefits and effectiveness of personalised Nutrition Services. Furthermore, Service providers may reduce Privacy Risk by increasing consumer perceptions of Information Control. To enhance perceptions of both Information Control and Service Effectiveness, Service providers should make sure that consumers perceive them as competent and reliable.

the perceived impact of the national health Service on personalised Nutrition Service delivery among the uk public
British Journal of Nutrition, 2015Co-Authors: Rosalind Fallaize, Anna L Macready, Laurie T Butler, Judi A Ellis, Aleksandra Berezowska, A R H Fischer, Marianne C Walsh, Caroline Gallagher, Barbara J Stewartknox, S KuznesofAbstract:Personalised Nutrition (PN) has the potential to reduce disease risk and optimise health and performance. Although previous research has shown good acceptance of the concept of PN in the UK, preferences regarding the delivery of a PN Service (e.g. online v. face-to-face) are not fully understood. It is anticipated that the presence of a free at point of delivery healthcare system, the National Health Service (NHS), in the UK may have an impact on end-user preferences for deliverances. To determine this, supplementary analysis of qualitative data obtained from focus group discussions on PN Service delivery, collected as part of the Food4Me project in the UK and Ireland, was undertaken. Irish data provided comparative analysis of a healthcare system that is not provided free of charge at the point of delivery to the entire population. Analyses were conducted using the ‘framework approach’ described by Rabiee (Focus-group interview and data analysis. Proc Nutr Soc 63, 655-660). There was a preference for Services to be led by the government and delivered face-to-face, which was perceived to increase trust and transparency, and add value. Both countries associated paying for Nutritional advice with increased commitment and motivation to follow guidelines. Contrary to Ireland, however, and despite the perceived benefit of paying, UK discussants still expected PN Services to be delivered free of charge by the NHS. Consideration of this unique challenge of free healthcare that is embedded in the NHS culture will be crucial when introducing PN to the UK.
