Opting for homemade meals is the healthiest choice. We assessed the change in nutritional practices among parents/caregivers exposed to health promotion campaigns. Pre- and post-intervention surveys inquiring about nutritional practices were conducted respectively in March and June 2022 in a community-based sample of 583 parents/caregivers in Albania (62% females; age: 39.7 ± 7.1 years; response: 83%). The multi-component intervention consisted of community-based 'onsite' events (awareness raising campaigns) and 'online' interventions (knowledge portal and digital applications). After the intervention, the prevalence of home cooking and/or provision of home-made foods to children for eating at school increased by 11% (both P < 0.01). Engagement in healthy nutritional practices 'only after the intervention' increased especially among Roma/Egyptian parents/caregivers.
选择自制餐是最健康的选择。我们评估了接触健康促进活动的父母/照顾者营养实践的变化。2022 年 3 月和 6 月，在阿尔巴尼亚的一个基于社区的 583 名父母/照顾者样本中（62%为女性；年龄：39.7±7.1 岁；回应率：83%），分别进行了预干预和干预后调查，询问营养实践情况。多组分干预包括基于社区的“现场”活动（提高认识运动）和“在线”干预（知识门户和数字应用程序）。干预后，在家做饭和/或为孩子提供自制食品供在校食用的比例增加了 11%（均 P<0.01）。特别是在罗姆/埃及父母/照顾者中，“仅在干预后”参与健康营养实践的比例增加了。
