Randomized Controlled Trial
Impact of a modified version of baby-led weaning on iron intake and status: a randomised controlled trial.
To determine the iron intake and status of infants following a version of baby-led weaning (BLW) modified to prevent iron deficiency (Baby-Led Introduction to SolidS; BLISS) compared with those of infants following traditional spoon-feeding. ⋯ A baby-led approach to complementary feeding does not appear to increase the risk of iron deficiency in infants when their parents are given advice to offer 'high-iron' foods with each meal.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
Using facilitator-receiver peer dyads matched according to socioeconomic status to promote behaviour change in overweight adolescents: a feasibility study.
To evaluate the feasibility of an innovative peer intervention promoting healthy eating and physical activity, which purposefully selected peer facilitators according to socioeconomic status to target less-advantaged overweight receivers. ⋯ The present study suggests the peer intervention is feasible provided organisational difficulties are addressed. Good practice recommendations are formulated, including a longer training session, organising a joint meeting with the facilitators and receivers, matching dyads on place of residence and multiplying modes of contact.
