Fair point. I'll have another go with ggplot. The first few I saw were not what I was looking for. But if you have a handy walkthrough to hand I'd love to see it

This study suggests that results from previous studies on adults that tested these interventions do generalise to adolescents. It also provides further evidence to show how much our food choices can be influenced by environmental factors outside of the individuals control.

Availability reduced energy selected per meal by 178 kcals (d = .43) and Position reduced energy selected by 108 kcals (d = .25). However the results differed by course. Availability was only effective for starters (113 kcals, d = .74) and position for mains (59 kcals, d = .23). We are not sure why!

We used three real menus (starters, main course, and desserts) across three different restaurants with hot-spot click features that could detect which option participants clicked on and the total energy selected was summed to create our outcomes: total energy per meal and per course. Example below:

We conducted an online-experiment to test whether food selection can be influenced two interventions: Availability (+ availability of low kcal foods on menus) and Position (putting low kcal foods first on menus) vs a control group. The primary outcome was total energy selected per meal

I continue this work now - with a focus on improving methodology, trying to synthesise disconnected parts of the field, and apply these insights to advise public health officials internationally. Follow me if you want to hear more about these topics and get in touch if you wish to collaborate! /end

But my time at Cambridge was mostly on why the public support or oppose health policies. Some examples:

My post-docs were mostly investigating health behaviour change including at University of Sheffield where I worked on self-regulation & Cambridge where I worked on large scale behaviour change interventions such as:

We have used stepped-wedge and multiple treatment reversal designs in the past. If that's the kind of thing you are thinking of

I guess it depends on your aims. But I often see major health (non clinical) psychology journals categorised under applied. Eg Health Psychology, Annals of behavioural medicine, British Journal of Health Psychology - but there may be other applied domains - im just biased by my health background

Is applied synonymous with organisational? It looks like that section is heavily loaded with organisational journals. Perhaps missing out on other applied fields
