Examining engagement and responses to a digital binge drinking campaign for young males in Florida.

This study evaluates Drunken Rewind, an animated digital media campaign designed to reduce binge drinking. The campaign was targeted to white males aged 18-34, who are at the highest risk of binge drinking. The intervention consisted of an animated series that merged health communications approaches with marketing strategies to disseminate health messages.

Evaluation of the sensory properties of thickened and protein-enhanced ice cream using check-all-that-apply and temporal check-all-that-apply.

Ice cream formulations with varying amounts of added whey protein were created for those living with dysphagia in long-term care facilities (LTCs) to improve protein and fluid intake. The samples of thickened ice cream included a control (0% whey protein [WP]) and formulations with 6% (6WP), 8% (8WP), 10% (10WP), 12% (12WP) and 14% (14WP) added whey protein by volume. The consistency of the samples was assessed using the International Dysphagia Diet Standardization Initiative (IDDSI) Spoon Tilt Test, a sensory trial (n = 102) using hedonic scales and check-all-that-apply (CATA) and another sensory trial (n = 96) using temporal check-all-that-apply (TCATA).

Acceptability of thickened and protein-enhanced ice cream for use in long-term care facilities.

This study evaluated the acceptability of thickened ice cream with added whey protein to improve protein and fluid intake in long-term care (LTC) residents living with dysphagia and wounds. Two samples of ice cream were produced, the control sample of thickened ice cream, and thickened ice cream with added whey protein. The International Dysphagia Diet Standardization Initiative (IDDSI) Spoon Tilt Test assessed the consistency of the ice cream samples.
