Integrating Policies that Enable Minimally Processed Foods with Policies that Restrict Ultra-Processed Foods for Obesity and Noncommunicable Disease Prevention.. Purpose of review Historically, many food policies for obesity and noncommunicable disease prevention focus on reducing the demand for ultra-processed foods (UPFs). This narrative review examines why integrating policies that enable minimally processed foods (MPFs) with UPF restriction is critical for improving diets and health. Recent findings Despite progress from UPF-restrictive policies, MPF-related barriers like limited availability and accessibility, inadequate food preparation infrastructure, and limited time and cooking ski…

This study examines whether sustained exposure to a health-centered social-media initiative, "Critical Mass for Healthy Consumption", is associated with reported pro-environmental consumption patterns, by prioritizing personal health impacts over ecological concerns. Methods Using an online survey, we compared consumer habits between community members (CM) and non-community membe…

However, although some existing theories provide competent models for structuring approaches, they do not provide a unified neurobiological foundation. Objective To outline the connections between neuroscientific foundations in Part 1 and behavioral change theories in Part 2 and propose an overarching neuroscientific perspective. Meth…

Public information sharing during public health emergencies: an adaptive-network evolutionary game.. Introduction Public health emergencies can generate verified sharing, opportunistic dissemination, and strategic silence within the same communication environment, yet diffusion-centered approaches offer limited explanation of how these contrasting behaviors emerge together or change as communication relationships evolve. Methods This study develops an adaptive-network evolutionary game in which individuals choose among verified/corrective sharing, opportunistic sharing, and silence. The model links information value, verification burden, attention incentives, targeted sanctions, and partici…

This in turn provides a supportive environment which will enable people to initiate, sustain and maintain positive and desirable behavior outcomes. SBCC is the strategic use of communication to promote positive health outcomes, based on proven theories and models of behavior change. SBCC employ…
