It is now time to emphasize health and development in middle childhood and adolescence--developmental phases that are critical to health in adulthood and the next generation. Child and Adolescent Health and Development explores the benefits that accrue from sustained and targeted interventions across the first two decades of life. The volume outlines the investment case for effective, costed, and scalable interventions for low-resource settings, emphasizing the cross-sectoral role of education. This evidence base can guide policy makers in prioritizing actions to promote survival, health, cognition, and physical growth throughout childhood and adolescence.

Book excerpt: This research examines the effect of a nutrition education intervention to change attitudes and other factors associated with eating breakfast and consuming low-fat dairy and whole-grains. Adolescents (n = 106) 11 to 15 years old were recruited from afterschool programs in Los Angeles County, California. Participants in the treatment group (n = 57) met once weekly for 60 minutes during seven weeks. The curriculum focused on changing attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control toward eating breakfast along with including low-fat dairy and whole grains. The first three lessons focused on basic nutrition concepts. The later lessons focused on identifying barriers and overcoming barriers, goal-setting, and identifying methods to stay motivated. Questionnaires were administered at baseline and post-intervention. Data were analyzed using SAS statistical analysis program (v. 9.2). Eighty-eight percent of participants were Hispanic, 55% were girls, and mean age was 12 years. One-hundred six adolescents completed the questionnaire at baseline and 75 completed it at post-intervention. Cronbach alpha statistic for subjective norms and attitudes toward eating breakfast, consuming low-fat dairy and whole-grains were 0.67 and higher for each dependant variable. Intention was significantly predicted by attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control; however, as these models do not differentiate change, additional models were run with interactions between group (treatment versus control) and the change variables. Significant changes in perceived behavioral control were observed among participants in the treatment group regarding drinking skim milk, 1% milk, and 2% milk respectively (p

Book excerpt: Globally, the food system and the relationship of the individual to that system, continues to change and grow in complexity. Eating is an everyday event that is part of everyone’s lives. There are many commentaries on the nature of these changes to what, where and how we eat and their socio-cultural, environmental, educational, economic and health consequences. Among this discussion, the term "food literacy" has emerged to acknowledge the broad role food and eating play in our lives and the empowerment that comes from meeting food needs well. In this book, contributors from Australia, China, United Kingdom and North America provide a review of international research on food literacy and how this can be applied in schools, health care settings and public education and communication at the individual, group and population level. These varying perspectives will give the reader an introduction to this emerging concept. The book gathers current insights and provides a platform for discussion to further understanding and application in this field. It stimulates the reader to conceptualise what food literacy means to their practice and to critically review its potential contribution to a range of outcomes.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adolescent obesity increases the risk for adult obesity and morbidity. Registered dietitians nutritionists (RDNs) are involved in adolescent obesity interventions intended to reverse or decrease immediate and long term complications. Qualitative methodology was used to identify perceived usefulness of RDNs to change adolescent nutrition behaviors in an obesity intervention study: Wellness Incentive to Health (WITH) program. Ten participants (adolescents between 15-17 years of age, 2 males and 8 females) were interviewed. A questionnaire guide was developed to ask participants about their knowledge of RDNs, the benefits of having RDNs in the program, and what they learned from RDNs. Participant interviews lasted approximately 30 minutes, were audio-recorded, and transcribed. Audio transcriptions were systematically coded and analyzed to identify central themes. Nine of ten participants reported little to no knowledge about RDNs before participating in the WITH program. Four overarching themes were identified and formed the Adolescent Nutrition Learning Model from participant responses: 1) RDNs Provide Nutrition Information (i.e. why and how food benefits the body, information about healthy cooking and preparation of food; and information about healthier food behaviors (i.e. portion sizes, reading labels, and recognizing satiety); 2) Adolescents Prefer Hands-On Activities (i.e. cooking activities, tasting foods, going out to restaurants, and working in groups); 3) Adolescents described their Change in Behavior from Concepts Learned (i.e. learned how to eat healthy in social adolescent settings); and 4) Adolescents disliked logging food. Registered dietitian nutritionists in an adolescent obesity intervention program were perceived to have provided valued nutrition expertise and an Adolescent Nutrition Learning Model may be useful in guiding nutrition education for teens.

This book was released on 2010-01-10 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The prevalence of childhood obesity is so high in the United States that it may reduce the life expectancy of today's generation of children. While parents and other adult caregivers play a fundamental role in teaching children about healthy behaviors, even the most positive efforts can be undermined by local environments that are poorly suited to supporting healthy behaviors. For example, many communities lack ready sources of healthy food choices, such as supermarkets and grocery stores. Or they may not provide safe places for children to walk or play. In such communities, even the most motivated child or adolescent may find it difficult to act in healthy ways. Local governments-with jurisdiction over many aspects of land use, food marketing, community planning, transportation, health and nutrition programs, and other community issues-are ideally positioned to promote behaviors that will help children and adolescents reach and maintain healthy weights. Local Government Actions to Prevent Childhood Obesity presents a number of recommendations that touch on the vital role of government actions on all levels-federal, state, and local-in childhood obesity prevention. The book offers healthy eating and physical activity strategies for local governments to consider, making it an excellent resource for mayors, managers, commissioners, council members, county board members, and administrators.

Download or read book The Impact of a Nutrition Education Program for Adolescent Girls on Food Choices and Nutrition Knowledge written by Rachael T. Wehn and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The increasing incidence of obesity and nutrition related chronic diseases is becoming a public health concern. It is important for health professionals to understand how they can best educate the public in order to prevent this epidemic from worsening. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether an interactive nutrition education program is effective in prompting dietary behavior changes in adolescent females. The subjects of this study were 9 Caucasian adolescent females from Reading, Pennsylvania. The mean age was 11.6 years old. The subjects were interviewed to obtain twenty-four hour recalls to use as baseline data and as a nutrition needs assessment. They were also asked a set of general nutrition knowledge questions. An interactive nutrition education program was designed to meet the nutrition concerns of the particular audience. The initial twenty-four hour recalls showed the average adolescent participant's diet was deficient in milk, fruits, vegetables, and complex carbohydrates. Subjects participated in a nutrition education intervention that consisted of learning about nutrition, planning snacks, and goal setting. The intervention was designed to facilitate goal setting and behavior changes that would increase the consumption of the deficient food groups. Twenty-four hour food recall data was collected after the nutrition education program and compared to the initial data to determine whether the students implemented behavior changes that would affect their nutritional intake. After the nutrition education program, the average number of grain and meat servings increased. The average number of fats, oils, sweets, and dairy products decreased. There was a slight decrease in the average number of servings from the fruit group and a slight increase the average number of vegetable servings. The nutrition intervention resulted in 8 out of the 9 subjects creating and remembering their individual nutrition intake goaL Five of the students met their individualized nutrition goals on the day the food recall data was collected. Nutrition knowledge did not change due to the intervention. The majority of subjects were able to name the food groups and state the recommended number of servings for the food groups before and after the intervention. The difference in number of servings from the food groups before and after the intervention was slight; therefore, it was difficult to relate the change in intake to the effectiveness of the education session. This intervention was effective in motivating students to think about nutrition goals. The majority of students actually implemented their individual goals. An expansion of the sample size for this study would help to improve the analysis of individualized goals. A larger sample of goals would enable the nutrition goals to be categorized and evaluated based on the food group or food choices they influence.

Book excerpt: #1 New York Times Bestseller from the author of This is Your Mind on Plants, How to Change Your Mind, The Omnivore's Dilemma, and Food Rules Food. There's plenty of it around, and we all love to eat it. So why should anyone need to defend it? Because in the so-called Western diet, food has been replaced by nutrients, and common sense by confusion--most of what we’re consuming today is longer the product of nature but of food science. The result is what Michael Pollan calls the American Paradox: The more we worry about nutrition, the less healthy we see to become. With In Defense of Food, Pollan proposes a new (and very old) answer to the question of what we should eat that comes down to seven simple but liberating words: "Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants." Pollan’s bracing and eloquent manifesto shows us how we can start making thoughtful food choices that will enrich our lives, enlarge our sense of what it means to be healthy, and bring pleasure back to eating.

Book excerpt: Adolescents have unique nutritional needs when compared to young children and adults. As youth go through physical, cognitive, and behavioral development, nutrition needs are dynamic and changing. If these needs go undetected and remain unaddressed, the results can derail physical and social maturation and include life-long effects on health. This comprehensive text offers a multidisciplinary perspective on aspects of adolescent nutrition. Using clinical cases, it covers relevant topics related to adolescent health including normal development, chronic health conditions, and complex biopsychosocial dynamics, among others. The first section of the text contains an overview of adolescent nutrition that is further broken down into more specific topics such as developmental nutrition needs, needs of active youth and athletes and media influences on body image. The next section focuses on health disparities such as culturally appropriate care, health equity, international considerations and food insecurity. The following section specifically addresses eating disorders ranging from anorexia and bulimia to binge eating. Finally, the last section covers additional health considerations such as polycystic ovarian syndrome, teen pregnancy, substance use and gender non-conforming youth. Written by experts in the field, this book is a helpful resource for primary care medical providers, registered dietitians/nutritionists (RDN), adolescent medicine specialists, as well as advanced practice nurses, physician assistants, psychologists, licensed social workers, and certified athletic trainers. /div
