- ItemCaregiver involvement in interventions for improving children’s dietary intake and physical activity behaviors(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. on behalf of The Cochrane Collaboration, 2017) Morgan, E. H.; Schoonees, A.; Faure, M.; Seguin, R. A.This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (Intervention). The objectives are as follows: To assess the effects of caregiver involvement in interventions for improving children's dietary intake and physical activity behavior, including those intended to prevent overweight and obesity. We will also describe the intervention content and the behavior change techniques employed, drawing from behavior change technique taxonomy developed and advanced by Abraham, Michie, and colleagues (Abraham 2008; Michie 2011; Michie 2013; Michie 2015). We will identify content and techniques related to the reported outcomes, where such information has been reported in included studies.
- ItemTransmission of respiratory viruses when using public ground transport : a rapid review to inform public health recommendations during the COVID-19 pandemic(Health & Medical Publishing Group, 2020-05-07) Zhen, J.; Chan, C.; Schoonees, A.; Apatu, E.; Thabane, L.; Young, TarynIn response to the COVID-19 pandemic, numerous countries worldwide declared national states of emergency and implemented interventions to minimise the risk of transmission among the public. Evidence was needed to inform strategies for limiting COVID-19 transmission on public transport. On 20 March 2020, we searched MEDLINE, CENTRAL, Web of Science and the World Health Organization’s database of ‘Global research on coronavirus disease (COVID-19)’ to conduct a rapid review on interventions that reduce viral transmission on public ground transport. After screening 74 records, we identified 4 eligible studies. These studies suggest an increased risk of viral transmission with public transportation use that may be reduced with improved ventilation. International and national guidelines suggest the following strategies: keep the public informed, stay at home when sick, and minimise public transport use. Where use is unavoidable, environmental control, respiratory etiquette and hand hygiene are recommended, while a risk-based approach needs to guide the use of non-medical masks.
