Applied Research Brief: Nutrition, Health Policy A Pricing Strategy to Promote Sales of Lower Fat Foods in High School Cafeterias: Acceptability and Sensitivity Analysis Prices of four low fat foods were reduced about 25% and prices of three high fat foods were increased about 10% to determine the impact on food purchases in a Midwestern suburban high school cafeteria to explore the impact of price on purchases. Low fat foods averaged about 13% of total sales. Sensitivity analysis was used to estimate that low fat foods would probably have averaged about 9% of total sales without the reduced price. |

Review: Tobacco, Behavior Change Applying the Transtheoretical Model to Tobacco Cessation and Prevention: A Review of Literature A systematic review of the peer reviewed literature published prior to March 1, 2001, on the use of the Transtheoretical Model (TTM) in smoking cessation identified 148 which are included in this review, including 73 population studies, 37 intervention studies and 54 validation studies. The methodological quality of the literature can be rated as good. The evidence for the TTM applied to smoking is strong and growing, but not yet conclusive. Eight different staging mechanisms are being used and it is not clear which is most valid and reliable. Stage distribution of smokers is well documented among the U.S. population, but not among other populations. |

The Role of Mentoring in Health Promotion Mentors are volunteers who provide support for health behavior change to someone who volunteers to be "mentored." This article, written by one of the leading advocates of this process, discusses how mentoring differs from other key support roles, the underlying rationale behind mentoring, how a mentoring program should be designed, the historical and theoretical roots of mentoring, strategies mentors can use to be more effective, and a research agenda for the mentoring approach. |
