Evaluating Operation Good Food & Beverages, a Black Youth-Driven Public Advocacy Campaign.

Background: Food and beverage (F&B) marketing practices that contradict health guidelines are particularly concerning for children and adolescents, who are developmentally more susceptible than adults to persuasive advertising and to Black communities, due to ethnically-targeted marketing, contributing to higher rates of obesity and other diet-related chronic diseases. Accordingly, here we evaluated Operation Good Food and Beverages (OGF&B), an online social marketing campaign calling for shifting toward more marketing of healthier F&B to Black youth and Black communities.

Methods: OGF&B was developed and implemented by a multidisciplinary team of academic, advocacy, and advertising partners and active for four months in 2022 during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Strategies to improve outcomes of youth experiencing healthcare transition from pediatric to adult HIV care in a large U.S. city.

Background: The healthcare transition (HCT) from pediatric to adult HIV care can be disruptive to HIV care engagement and viral suppression for youth living with HIV (YLH).

We used the Exploration Preparation Implementation Sustainment Framework to guide this qualitative inquiry.
