Dr. Brittany Johnson

Brittany is a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Caring Futures Institute, in the College of Nursing and Health Sciences at Flinders University. Her research interests include improving children’s diet quality by reducing unhealthy food intake, applying behaviour change theory and creating supportive environments where we live, work and play. Her PhD was focussed on identifying intervention content to support parents to reduce provision of unhealthy foods to their young children during the transition to pre-school and school. She is leading the deconstructing interventions component of the TOPCHILD Collaboration (www.topchildcollaboration.org)—a project that is bringing together researchers from around the world to transform early childhood obesity prevention, by unpacking past interventions using novel methods to understand how they work, and for whom.
