After reading the evidence presented in this module, consider the nutrition-related health promotion initiatives for children and answer the following questions:
What are the main aims of each program? Do these aims address the nutritional concerns in this age group?
Now choose one and examine a little more closely:
Does the implementation of the program, including its main recommendations, align with the current evidence on addressing nutrition-related issues in children? Does it address one or more of the categories in the wider social determinants of health framework? (e.g., biological, individual lifestyle factors, social and community factors, living and working conditions, wider conditions.)
Will all children benefit equally from the program? Are its recommendations equitable and accessible? Explain your answer and make at least 2 recommendations as to how equity and accessibility might be improved.
