Impacts on child dietary behaviours and health: Exploring school policy responses to the rise in cost of living

大约7%的威尔士家庭面临粮食不安全。生活费用危机可能会增加家庭的压力，许多家庭难以负担健康饮食，健康不平等必将扩大。拟议中的博士学位旨在研究生活成本上升对儿童饮食行为和健康结果的影响，并探索学校政策层面对学生在学期和学校假期期间食物不安全的反应。拟议的方法将包括对学生和学校一级数据集的二级分析，以及与参加学校健康研究网络和食品和娱乐方案的学校一起收集初级数据。将寻求卡迪夫大学社会科学学院研究伦理委员会的批准。研究行为将符合ESRC研究伦理框架和GDPR。学生将遵守大学的单独工作者政策、保护政策、研究人员诚信以及与有风险的儿童和成人一起工作的行为准则。

Approximately 7% of Welsh households experience food insecurity. The cost-of-living crisis is likely to increase pressures on households, with many families struggling to afford a healthy diet and health inequalities set to widen. The proposed PhD aims to examine the impact of the rise in the cost-of-living on children's dietary behaviours and health outcomes and explore school policy-level responses to pupil food insecurity throughout term time and school holidays. The proposed methodology will include secondary analyses of pupil and school-level datasets and primary data collection with schools participating in the School Health Research Network and Food and Fun programme. Approvals will be sought from Cardiff University's School of Social Sciences Research Ethics Committee. Research conduct will be compliant with ESRC Research Ethics Framework and GDPR. The student will adhere to the University Lone Worker Policy, Safeguarding Policy, Researcher Integrity, and Code of Practice for those working with Children and Adults at Risk.
