Research focus areas
Assessment of children’s eating practices
We identify food and nutrition-related issues drawing from large databases and cohorts. This work aimed at describing determinants and nutritional disparities among children to guide public health interventions.
Children's food environments
We examine how factors at various levels shape children's food environments and how these environments influence children's behaviours and health outcomes.
Building and testing community nutrition interventions
We test and evaluate community-based nutrition interventions to promote supportive nutrition environments in schools and early childhood care and education (ECCE) settings.
