Behaviour change techniques and theory use in healthcare professional-delivered infant feeding interventions to prevent childhood obesity: a systematic review

TL;DR: This systematic review of early childhood feeding interventions for obesity prevention has insufficiently integrated psychological theories into their development and evaluation and recommends greater consideration of psychological theory incorporating family and systems approaches and responsive feeding in future intervention development.
Journal ArticleDOI

Social, biological, behavioural and psychological factors related to physical activity during early pregnancy in the Screening for Pregnancy Endpoints (Cork, Ireland) cohort study.

TL;DR: The findings highlight potential links between PA, a low education level and a low socioeconomic background and these factors should be considered for future interventions to improve low PA levels during pregnancy.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: An innovative use of the Behaviour Change Wheel is described to integrate multiple sources of evidence collected from practice, policy, research, and parent stakeholders to concurrently develop an evidence-based intervention to improve parental infant feeding behaviours and an implementation strategy to facilitate sustainable delivery by health care professionals in routine primary care.
