Access To Food

Indonesia, a developing country, is still facing nutrition problems caused by lack of access to food and nutrition knowledge. Adolescents play an important role in a long term preventing of nutrition problem. Competition and award are ways of increasing adolescent interest and motivation in gaining nutrition knowledge. Therefore, the purpose of this empowerment program is to improve nutrition capacity og high school students (HSS) through a nutrition ambassador competition and award. The selection of nutrition ambassador candidates is carried out through written selection for 2nd grade HSS in 5 high schools (HS) in each selected city oN 8 cities of Indonesia. Five best couples from each HS then follow a second stage written selection at city level. Finally, the five best couple nominated from the second stage were then interviewed to determine the best three couple as nutrition ambassadors for every city. The result showed about 200 HSS involved as the candidates: and they read the balance nutrition guidebook from ministry of health as an online compulsory reading book which was uploaded in the web of PERGIZI PANGAN Indonesia. The mean nutrition knowledge score of the NA was 65.4 ± 12.9 which categorized as moderate level. This activity was appreciated by school principals and by local health district office heads. The nutrition ambassadors helped local health office to educate nutrition to HSS in each city. Now with the assistance from PERGIZI PANGAN Indonesia, they are sharing nutrition information and experience via WhatsApp Group. This implies that nutrition ambassador competition and award could be developed to improve nutrition capacity of HSS.

To support high school students to develop knowledge they need to adhere to control measures during the pandemic, a peer-based educational intervention on SARS-CoV-2 was developed and its impact was evaluated. Multistage random sampling was used. The 50 min peer-based intervention was conducted by final year medical students. Baseline and post-intervention knowledge and attitudes were assessed. Significance was tested by McNemar’s/Wilcoxon rank tests. Of 518 participants (mean age 17.8 years ± 0.43), 81.0% did not receive any school-based education on SARS-CoV-2. After intervention, the knowledge score improved from 65.2% to 81.6%, attitudes from 63.2% to 70.8% (both p < 0.0001). The effect size after the intervention compared to pre-intervention showed moderate improvement of knowledge, but not attitudes (d = 0.46 and d = 0.18, respectively). Pre- and post-intervention, females, students in non-science programs, living in cities < 250,000 inhabitants had lower knowledge, while fewer males, non-science program students, living in smaller cities presented positive attitudes. Before intervention, 67.0% students correctly named SARS-CoV-2 preventive methods and 73.6% were concerned COVID-19 is a serious disease; these improved after intervention (to 80.1% and 86.3%; p < 0.0001). The intervention was not very successful in increasing the intent to vaccinate for COVID-19 (pre-intervention 52.9%, post-intervention 56.4%; p < 0.007). Peer-based teaching for high school students can be effective in increasing SARS-CoV-2 knowledge and awareness. More efforts are needed to improve attitudes and enhance acceptance of vaccination against COVID-19.

Dietary habits in adolescence persist into adulthood; thus, it is important to identify the factors that influence adolescent diet and establish a healthy diet. This study aimed to examine the association between mothers’ nutrition knowledge and their children’s nutrient intake inadequacy among Japanese junior high school student–mother dyads. The participants were 288 students and their mothers. Data regarding mothers’ nutrition knowledge were obtained using a validated, self-administered general nutrition knowledge questionnaire for Japanese adults (JGNKQ). Participants were categorised into two groups according to the mothers’ total JGNKQ scores. Adolescents’ dietary habits during the preceding month were assessed using a brief self-administered diet history questionnaire. Inadequacy of each nutrient intake was assessed using the cut-point method, which showed that 14 nutrients were below “estimated average requirement (EAR)” and five nutrients were outside the range of “tentative dietary goal to prevent lifestyle-related diseases (DG)”. In the habitual daily nutrient intakes and the proportion of nutrient intake inadequacy of the students, no differences were observed according to mother’s nutritional knowledge level. Our findings suggest that mothers’ nutrition knowledge may not be directly associated with adolescents’ nutrient intake among Japanese junior high school student–mother dyads.
