TL;DR: Investigating associations between stress and dietary practices in a socioeconomically and ethnically diverse sample of 4,320 schoolchildren found that greater stress was associated with more fatty food intake, less fruit and vegetable intake, more snacking, and a reduced likelihood of daily breakfast consumption.

TL;DR: Univariate analyses showed boys and girls from more deprived neighborhoods were more likely to have tried smoking, to eat a high fat diet, and to be overweight, and girls living in more deprived areas were also less likely to eat five servings of fruit and vegetables or to exercise at the weekend.

TL;DR: The UK had low awareness of age-related risk and the highest perceived barriers to symptomatic presentation, but symptom awareness in the UK did not differ from other countries, which suggests that other factors must be involved in explaining Denmark's poor survival rates.

TL;DR: Data is used from a population-based survey to test the hypotheses that a greater knowledge of early cancer symptoms is associated with a higher likelihood of having appraised a symptom as possibly due to cancer, and more negative attitudes towards help-seeking areassociated with a lower likelihood ofhaving sought medical advice for that symptom.

TL;DR: Recognition of warning signs was associated with anticipating faster help-seeking for potential symptoms of cancer, and strategies to improve recognition are likely to facilitate earlier diagnosis.
