Promoting Dairy Consumption Among Families: Development and User Experience Study of a Web-Based Nutrition Intervention

Promoting Dairy Consumption Among Families: Development and User Experience Study of a Web-Based Nutrition Intervention

In this study, our target population included families with children aged between 8 and 16 years. The age of 8 years marks the minimum age at which children can reliably complete questionnaires and navigate on the web platform, while 16 years is the typical upper limit for parental influence on food choices. In addition, this age range aligns with calcium needs during growth and was effective in our previous Nutriathlon study [20].

Although most body image interventions aimed at young people focus on adolescents [9-11], up to half of children aged 6 to 12 years are unhappy with their appearance [2], suggesting that more interventions aimed at younger cohorts to prevent or reduce poor body image and promote positive body image are vital [5,11].

Evaluating the Effectiveness of an Intelligent mHealth Intervention for Child Unintentional Injury Prevention: Protocol for a Cluster Randomized Controlled Trial

Unintentional injuries remain a leading cause of morbidity and mortality among children worldwide [1]. In 2021, approximately 200,000 children younger than 5 years of age died globally from injuries and 38.7 million experienced nonfatal injuries [2]. In China, where the current research was conducted, injuries were the primary cause of child death in 2021, accounting for 10,827 deaths and 2.15 million incident cases in children younger than 5 years of age [2-4].
