💡There is limited data on the types of foods ordered and consumed from online food delivery apps. This study obtained consumption data in REAL-TIME and established: - 46% orders were unhealthy foods such as burgers, pizza - Nearly 40% orders driven by convenience mhealth.jmir.org/2023/1/e49135/

2/2 Our research with 100+ young people using mobile ecological momentary assessment, we found convenience, cost, and availability shape what we eat. Read the paper: mhealth.jmir.org/2023/1/e49135 #YouthWellLab

1/2 New Micromarket = new food choices at @sydney.edu.au We’ve seen more delivery drivers on campus. Unhealthy options dominate the digital food environment, and convenience and cost often drive the decision. We asked students what they think of the new options #YouthWellLab

'Eats for teens' allows 13-17 year olds to order off Uber Eats under their parents account.. but at what cost to their health? Regulation is needed to support young people to make healthy food choices in the digital food environment 📲 @publichealthaus.bsky.social @usydnursingschool.bsky.social

💡There’s huge potential for youth-centred, health-promoting MOOCs, but we need better design and meaningful youth involvement. Thanks for leading Putu Novi Arfirsta Dharmayani with Jennifer Dam, Josephine Chau, Sara Wardak, Katrina Champion, @seemam.bsky.social @stephaniepart.bsky.social

🧠 We analysed 23 studies and found: - Only 6 focused on health topics - Most MOOCs are not designed with adolescents in mind - Co-design, visual content, and interactive formats matter - Evaluation is often limited to self-reported surveys

📢 New publication just out from our @youthhealthhive.bsky.social Project!   This review provides foundational research as we build our Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) for young people. We explored how adolescents engage with open online courses in health and education 📄: doi.org/10.1080/2835...

Incredibly proud of @rebeccaraeside.bsky.social, who wrote this sole-author paper mid-last year as part of her PhD thesis, now finally published! A great initiative from @healthpromint.bsky.social , published as part of The Mike Daube Early Career Advocacy Series academic.oup.com/heapro/artic...

My latest state-of-the-art review published in @healthpromint.bsky.social provides insights to advance adolescent digital health promotion. Key takeaways: ✅ youth engagement is essential ✅ stronger digital governance is needed ✅ digital determinants must be considered doi.org/10.1093/heap...

The digital food environment is reshaping our access to foods and should be a key consideration for urban planners and policymakers striving to build healthier communities. How can we ensure fair access to healthy and affordable food in both physical spaces and the digital landscape?

We observed that while meal delivery apps have potential to increase online access to healthy food outlets, this is only occurring in the least disadvantaged areas. Moreover, wealthier areas have gained even more access to unhealthy food outlets online - including alcohol retailers.

🔔 Excited to share that my latest paper from my PhD has been published in the The Lancet Regional Health - Western Pacific! We assessed socioeconomic disparities in food access between online and local, physical food environments. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Grateful to my supervisors and team for this wonderful highlight of my PhD 🤩 @stephaniepart.bsky.social @aliceinnutrland.bsky.social Katherine Owen, Philayrath Phongsavan and Margaret Allman-Farinelli
