SHARe Workshop – Creating Knowledge Conference – Sheffield Hallam University
10th June 2020 2:30-3:30pm
Measuring what, why and how people eat? – methods and considerations
The prevalence of overweight and obesity is rising at an alarming rate across the globe yet malnutrition and underweight also remain a significant public health challenge in both developing and developed countries. The multifactorial and complex social, political, economic and biological reasons for this are subject to extensive scrutiny by leading scientists and social scientists yet, they persist. Both under- and overweight are associated with significant co-morbidities, poorer health outcome and premature death as well as considerable economic cost at a societal level.
Consumption, at least relative energy intake, is only part of the story but what, why and how we eat (and drink), and understanding the relevant biology, psychology and social drivers for this, is crucial for researchers in this field.
This workshop will explore a range of research methods relevant to the study of human appetite, eating behaviour, feeding and weight management (including underweight and overweight). We will consider data collection methods and important control measures alongside capacity (facilities and expertise) at SHU to undertake this type of work and will introduce you to Sheffield Hallam Appetite REsearch Cluster (SHARe).
This workshop is open to all researchers (academics and research students) from any discipline with an interest in consumption, eating or drinking behaviours, energy balance, weight management or any associated area.
