Sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) consumption is associated with adverse health outcomes. Improved understanding of the determinants will inform effective interventions to reduce SSB consumption. A total of 46,876 papers were identified through searchin... Read More about Determinants of sugar-sweetened beverage consumption in young children: a systematic review.

Preschoolers in the Playground: a pilot cluster randomised controlled trial of a physical activity intervention for children aged 18 months to 4 years (2015)
Journal Article
Barber, S., Akhtar, S., Jackson, C., Bingham, D., Hewitt, C., Routen, A., …Wright, J. (2015). Preschoolers in the Playground: a pilot cluster randomised controlled trial of a physical activity intervention for children aged 18 months to 4 years. Public Health Research, 3(5), https://doi.org/10.3310/phr03050

BACKGROUND: The preschool years are considered critical for establishing healthy lifestyle behaviours such as physical activity. Levels of physical activity track through childhood into adulthood and establishing habitual physical activity early in l...

Journal Article
Moore, H., Nixon, C., Lake, A., Douthwaite, W., O'Malley, C., Pedley, C., …Routen, A. (2014). The environment can explain differences in adolescents’ daily physical activity levels living in a deprived urban area: Cross-sectional study using accelerometry, GPS and focus groups. Journal of Physical Activity and Health, 11(8), 1517-1524. https://doi.org/10.1123/jpah.2012-0420

Background: Evidence suggests that many contemporary urban environments do not support healthy lifestyle choices and are implicated in the obesity pandemic. Middlesbrough, in the North East of England is one such environment and a prime target for in...
