Searching and synthesising ‘grey literature’ and ‘grey information’ in public health: critical reflections on three case studies (2016)
Journal Article
Adams, J., Hillier-Brown, F., Moore, H., Lake, A., Araujo-Soares, V., White, M., & Summerbell, C. (2016). Searching and synthesising ‘grey literature’ and ‘grey information’ in public health: critical reflections on three case studies. Systematic Reviews, 5, Article 164. https://doi.org/10.1186/s13643-016-0337-y

Background Grey literature includes a range of documents not controlled by commercial publishing organisations. This means that grey literature can be difficult to search and retrieve for evidence synthesis. Much knowledge and evidence in public heal...

Background Takeaway food has a relatively poor nutritional profile. Providing takeaway outlets with reduced-holed salt shakers is one method thought to reduce salt use in takeaways, but effects have not been formally tested. We aimed to determine if...

International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity, 12, Article 51. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12966-015-0210-8

Background: Food prepared out-of-home tends to be less healthful than food prepared at home, with a positive association between frequency of consumption and both fat intake and body fatness. There is little current data on who eats out-of-home food....
