“…Shojaezadeh et al (23), Amini (22), and Damore et al (24) did not achieve desired performance through educational intervention as in our model. Reicks et al (25) who examined calcium intake interventions in families concluded that the interventions positively affected calcium intake in all nutrients groups, a finding contrary to our results. The differences may be attributed to the cultural characteristics of the studied populations.…”

Background: Getting enough calcium in growing is necessary to achieve peak bone mass and to prevent osteoporosis in adulthood and aging. Objectives: Given the importance of women's role in arranging and preparing the family food basket, the present study aimed to raise the mothers' knowledge and attitude to increase consumption of calcium-rich foods in family food basket and enhance adolescent girl's performance in the city of Chabahar. Patients and Methods: This experimental study was performed on mothers of female students in the fifth grade of primary school in selected primary schools of Chabahar city during 2014. The population under study was selected by random sampling multi-stage stratified method. The study comprised 170 eligible mothers including 88 controls and 82 tests, selected on voluntary basis, who provided their written informed consent to participate in the study. Data collection tool was validated and reliable self-administered questionnaire consisting of three sections. These included demographic information and questions related KAP (knowledge, attitudes and practice) model comprising three structures so called knowledge, attitude and practice related to calcium containing foods. The completion of questionnaire was based on self-report and interview in two stages by the researcher, before and three months after educational intervention. The data collected were analyzed by SPSS-16 using descriptive and analytical statistical tests such as paired T-test at α = 0.05. Results: A statistically significant mean score of knowledge and attitude was found after intervention in case group. However, the changes in mean score performance variables after the intervention in the case group were not significant. Conclusions: Designed and implemented educational intervention was effective in increasing the mother's knowledge and attitude, but was not effective regarding the intake of calcium-rich foods in target group. This weakness can be attributed primarily to the content and type of intervention carried out and secondly to insufficient educational interventions and sample size compatible with acceptable performance that suggested conducting more effective educational and ecological interventions.

Background Despite the established benefits of calcium consumption, many young Australians are not meeting the recommendations for calcium intake. This is concerning because an adequate calcium consumption is important throughout young adulthood to reach peak bone mass and for the prevention of osteoporosis. Therefore, the present study aimed to explore the barriers and enablers to consuming calcium‐rich foods with young adults. Methods Using a semi‐structured question guide, five focus group discussions were conducted with 39 participants [mean (SD) age 22.5 (1.8) years]. Participants were mostly females (n = 29) and enrolled in tertiary education (n = 31). A deductive approach was used to group common ideas into themes. The findings from the focus groups were analysed using the COM‐B framework, which examines the interactions between three key components (i.e. capability, opportunity and motivation). Results On examining the young adults' capability to consume a diet adequate in calcium, it was found that young adults had limited knowledge of sources, prevention of disease and recommended amounts. Some participants voiced physical barriers to consumption (lactose intolerance). Opportunity was reported as a physical (availability of calcium‐rich foods), financial and social opportunity. Some participants reported motivation to include dairy as a result of the habit becoming engrained during their childhood under parental influence (automatic motivation), whereas others reflected on a lack of awareness relating to inadequacy and health consequences (reflective motivation). Conclusions Although social media was seen to be an acceptable mode of intervention, concerns were raised about the source and credibility of the information. The findings may inform the development of future interventions targeting eating habits of young adults.

“…Previous research has tested the frequency of use of parenting practices to improve intake of CRF/B among early adolescents, 10 but not the motivations underlying these parenting practices. The current study provides preliminary findings to better understand these motivations, which could be used in future quantitative studies to further explore the underlying motivations for parents/caregivers to encourage the intake of CRF/B.…”

“…Survey data from 661 multi-ethnic parents showed that parental expectation for healthful beverage intake among their adolescent children was positively associated with parental calcium intake from dairy foods. 10 Qualitative semistructured individual interviews with parents of early adolescent children (n ¼ 168) have further indicated that parents use several strategies to promote CRF/B intakes in their child. 11 These included setting expectations that children would consume calciumrich foods, making these foods available, and preparing these foods for their children.…”
