A randomized controlled trial investigated the efficacy of a brief substance use preventive intervention for parents of adolescents, highlighting the importance of family meals in promoting healthy behaviors. Another study found that a traditional Costa Rican diet score is a valid tool to assess diet quality and identify sociodemographic groups with suboptimal diets. Research on almond consumption revealed its potential impact on cardiovascular disease risk factors through systematic reviews and Markov models.
