“…(34) Responsiveness to change was evaluated using two uncontrolled before-after study designs, and each of them delivered a nutrition education approach that has shown to be effective at promoting nutrition knowledge in adults. (39–42) The first approach used an online written nutrition information intervention. Participants who completed the 15-minute online Research Now questionnaire were re-contacted two weeks later and invited to complete the questionnaire again while reading 20 on-screen pieces of nutrition information.…”

Background/Objectives:The General Nutrition Knowledge Questionnaire (GNKQ) was developed in the 1990s and has been widely used. Since then advances in understanding of associations between diet and disease have led to changes in dietary recommendations. This study reports the validity and reliability of an updated version of the GNKQ, bringing it into line with current nutritional advice.Methods/Subjects:Following a review of current recommendations, the revised version of the GNKQ (GNKQ-R) was created, consisting of 88 items and four sections. Reliability and validity of the GNKQ-R were determined in four validation studies: (1) reliability was examined using an online sample (n=266), (2) construct validity was assessed with 96 Dietetics students and 89 english students using the ‘known-groups' method, (3) associations between nutrition knowledge and socio-demographic characteristics were examined using the previously described samples and (4) sensitivity to change was tested by measuring GNKQ-R scores pre- and post-exposure to online nutrition information in written (n=65) and video (n=41) formats.Results:The reliability was >0.7 in all sections. Dietetics students scored significantly higher than english students. As predicted, GNKQ-R scores were significantly higher among females vs males, people with a degree vs without, and people with very good vs poor or good health status. They were lower in those older than 50 years vs younger adults. GNKQ-R scores were significantly greater after the nutrition interventions in both written and video formats.Conclusions:The GNKQ-R is a valid measure of nutrition knowledge that is consistent, reliable and sensitive to change.

Health literacy is a key determinant of health in refugee and migrant populations living in in high-income countries (HICs). We conducted a systematic review of randomized-controlled trials (RCTs) to characterize the scope, methodology, and outcomes of research on interventions aimed at improving health literacy among these vulnerable populations. We searched EMBASE, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, CINAHL, and Web of Science databases to identify RCTs of health literacy intervenions in our target population published between 1997 and 2018. The search yielded 23 RCTs (n = 5625 participants). Study demographics, health literacy topics, interventions, and outcome measures were heterogeneous but demonstrated overall positive results. Only two studies used a common health literacy measure. Few RCTs have been conducted to investigate interventions for improving the health literacy of refugees and migrants in HICs. The heterogeniety of health literacy outcome measures used impeded a robust comparison of intervention efficacy.

“…After removing studies with a high risk of bias ( n =5), 37 , 39 , 42 , 45 , 47 the remaining studies showed a similar distribution of intervention effects, with 82% reporting better outcomes for international migrant women in the intervention groups than for those in the comparison groups. Of studies included in these analyses, those measuring outcomes directly related to reproductive health included mammogram screening uptake ( n =3), 40 , 41 , 46 cervical cancer screening uptake ( n =1), 38 infant nutrition/breastfeeding knowledge ( n =2), 49 , 52 antepartum/postpartum depression ( n =2), 44 , 48 and condom use ( n =1). 50 Studies measuring outcomes indirectly related to reproductive health included general health-promoting behaviors ( n =1) 51 and depression knowledge scores ( n =1).…”

“…Meta-analyses of studies without a high risk of bias ( n =11) were planned, but only seven studies reported on outcomes similar enough in measurement to permit meta-analyses when grouped by outcome category. These categories included disease prevention activities, 38 , 40 , 46 , 50 knowledge acquisition, 49 , 50 and depression. 44 , 48 …”

Interventions to Support International Migrant Women's Reproductive Health in Western-Receiving Countries: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

et al. 2021

Purpose: The reproductive health outcomes of international migrant women differ in comparison with receiving-country-born women, depending on country of birth and immigrant status. Effective interventions to support the reproductive health of international migrant women are not well known. Methods: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies between 2010 and 2017 evaluating interventions directly or indirectly affecting the reproductive health (as defined by the World Health Organization) of international migrant women in Western-receiving countries. Results: Sixteen studies representing 5080 migrants were identified. Interventions consisted of linguistically (e.g., translated brochures) or culturally adapted (e.g., cultural narratives) routine care or new interventions. Meta-analysis showed that interventions increased rates of preventive reproductive health activities, including mammography, condom use, and Pap test completion, by almost 18% (95% confidence interval 7.61–28.3) compared with usual care or interventions not adapted to migrant women. Conclusion: Culturally and linguistically adapted care practices congruent with target populations of international migrant women are effective in improving their reproductive health outcomes, particularly their participation in preventative reproductive health activities.
