The authors concluded that they found clear evidence in 15/25 recent controlled studies that, despite difficulties inherent in achieving dietary change in the general population, healthy eating interventions were effective in a variety of settings and populations. The greatest magnitude in change in diet was seen in studies with highly motivated volunteers in intensive programmes. The majority of interventions in supermarket and catering settings showed a positive effect on food purchases in the short term, that is, while the intervention was in place. One moderate quality SR of study types (1&2+, A) evaluated health promotion interventions to promote healthy eating in the general population (Roe et al, 1997). There was a range of settings in the studies including school/ university, workplaces, primary care, and communities. Seventy six studies were included (over 100000 participants in total). Most good quality studies, which reported a dietary outcome measure, showed a benefit of intervention (15 studies out of 25). Long-term interventions in the population achieved reductions in dietary fat of 1 to 4% of energy intake. A substantial number of studies showed no effect of the intervention on the main outcomes measured, compared with controls.
