Summary of findings: promising strategies and modes of delivery likely to be part of effective intervention for improving children's dairy food and calcium intakes

•Aim to increase Ca through a discrete behavioural target, i.e. increasing dairy food consumption. •Improve availability and accessibility of dairy products. •Use taste exposure to influence children's preference for dairy foods. •Provide dairy foods where possible. •Broaden the scope of intervention beyond the school setting. Deliver techniques across settings including at home, in the community, or in a combined setting. •Target technique at the family as a whole, not just children, and engage parents directly. •Have frequent contact with participants. •Choose behaviour change techniques appropriately according to what behaviour is of interest, who the target is and where the techniques are being delivered.
