“…Most previous studies have targeted individuals at high risk of disease as ‘at risk’ individuals are more motivated than the general population; other studies have had a small sample size or non-representative sample [40–43]. Instead of overall health promotion, most of the studies to date have focused on single outcome such as reducing weight, blood pressure or cancer prevention [40,44,45]. Some trials have provided incentives to the participants in the form of provision of diets free of cost, while others made fruits and vegetables available at low cost in the study area [44,45].…”

“…In some trials, the control group did not receive any intervention which raises questions about study validity [41,46,47]. The majority of the identified interventions had no theoretical basis, and most of them used traditional methods of education such as individual/group counseling or printed material, and most did not achieve a significant change in dietary behaviour [40–45,48]. Whilst a few studies have reported change in one or another dietary behaviour using information technology tools most had one of the methodological flaws mentioned above [40,49,50,51].…”

Nutrition is an important determinant of health. At present, nutrition programs in India mainly emphasize improving maternal and child nutrition. Adult nutrition has not received due attention, though diseases like hypertension and diabetes are largely preventable through changes in dietary and physical activity behaviour. Little is known about the best approaches to improve dietary behaviours, especially the role of modern information technology (IT) in health education. We describe the protocol of the SMART Eating (Small, Measurable and Achievable dietary changes by Reducing fat, sugar and salt consumption and Trying different fruits and vegetables) health promotion intervention. A Cluster Randomised Controlled Trial will evaluate the effect of an IT-enabled intervention on nutrition behaviour among urban adults of Chandigarh, India. Formative research using a qualitative exploratory approach was undertaken to inform the intervention. The IT-enabled intervention programme includes website development, Short Message Service (SMS), e-mail reminders and interactive help by mobile and landline phones. The IT-enabled intervention will be compared to the traditional nutrition education program of distributing pamphlets in the control group. The primary outcome will be the percentage of study participants meeting the dietary intake guidelines of the National Institute of Nutrition, Hyderabad, India and the change in intake of fat, sugar, salt, fruit and vegetables after the intervention. The difference in differences method will be used to determine the net change in dietary intakes resulting from the interventions. Measurements will be made at baseline and at 6 months post-intervention, using a food frequency questionnaire. The formative research led to the development of a comprehensive intervention, focusing on five dietary components and using multi-channel communication approach including the use of IT to target urban North Indians from diverse socio-economic backgrounds. The Cluster Randomised Controlled Trial design is suitable for evaluating the effectiveness of this IT-enabled intervention for dietary behaviour change.

“…Prevention strategies focused on building healthy habits related to nutrition and activity has more stable Long-term results as compared with strategies focused on limiting behaviors. For example, children who were encouraged to increase their fruit and vegetable intake were more likely to demonstrate significant decreases in percentage of overweight than the children who were encouraged to decrease their fat and sugar intake (30,37,38).…”

Among children ages 7-19, about 1 in 3 are overweight and obese (BMI-for-age at or above the 85th percentile of the 2000 CDC growth charts.); 32.1% of all boys and 31.3% of all girls are overweight and obese. Because of the dramatic and alarming increase in childhood obesity and its associated health risks, obesity prevention programs targeting children can and should be developed to promote the health of the public. This study is an overview of different interventions conducted, to guide efforts for an effective management of childhood obesity. The aim of this review was to assess the literature regarding the prevention of childhood obesity. Databases that were accessed for current literature included Medline, Cochrane and CINAHL. A total of 26 articles were found based on the inclusion criteria for this study. Only 38% of studies required parents' participation, the sample sizes of the studies varied considerably from 201 to 3135 children. 92% of studies used randomized controlled trials and the range of intervention duration ranged from eight weeks to four years. Implications for future research and practice are presented.

“…The evidence suggests that interventions are more likely to be effective and sustained when they involve people as members of families, or involve friends, close-knit communities, and other groups such as clubs [67,68]. For example, involving fathers in breastfeeding education improves breastfeeding rates [69] and parental and social support increases physical activity levels among children [70].…”
