PBH's Newest Research Reports Now Available
Dads are playing an increased role in the food purchases for the family, and helping to prepare family meals and feed young children. But…how does Dad's role compare to that of Mom's? A recent review of dads' child feeding practices suggests that there are many gaps in understanding dads' influence or how they differ from moms. Not only is this important for their child's health, but for their own health as well. With this background, the newest consumer research report from PBH, Dads' vs. Moms' Attitudes Related to Fruit & Vegetable Consumption, is now available. The study, conducted throughout 2014, compared 600 moms with 600 dads.
The research and the development and distribution of the reports were made possible through the generous support of Bayer CropScience, Del Monte Fresh Produce, Monsanto Vegetable Seeds, and Produce Marketing Association.
The second report now available is the third in the series, 2015 Gap Analysis, The Fruit and Vegetable Consumption Challenge: How Federal Spending Falls Short of Addressing Public Health Needs. Like the previous two reports, it was designed to assess the extent to which federal policy makers, through their spending decisions, have made fruits and vegetables a national public-health priority. The report's two primary goals are: 1) Illuminate the national stake in greater fruit and vegetable consumption; and 2) Quantify the extent to which spending by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) reflects food consumption recommendations of the current Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2010 and the public health risks associated with inadequate consumption of fruits and vegetables. To accomplish those goals, the report provides new estimates of:
Both reports are now available for download.
