Interventions for preventing obesity in children

TL;DR: There is limited quality data on the effectiveness of obesity prevention programs and as such no generalisable conclusions can be drawn, and the need for well-designed studies which examine a range of interventions remains a priority.
Journal ArticleDOI

Assessment of vibration of effects due to model specification can demonstrate the instability of observational associations

TL;DR: Estimating VoE offers empirical estimates of associations are under different model specifications, and when VoE is large, claims for observational associations should be very cautious.
Journal ArticleDOI

Assessing the applicability of findings in systematic reviews of complex interventions can enhance the utility of reviews for decision making.

TL;DR: This work recommends that review authors plan and conduct analyses to explain variations in effect and answer questions about mechanisms of action and influence of different settings, contexts, and populations and recommends that authors provide rich descriptions of the setting, implementation details, resource use, and contexts of included studies and assess applicability for at least one target population, setting, and context.
Journal ArticleDOI

Strengthening evaluation to capture the breadth of public health practice: ideal vs. real.

TL;DR: This paper aims to provide a history of child health and wellbeing in Australia in the context of what is known as “informed consent”, a form of consent that is based on an individual’s willingness to accept responsibility for their health.
