“…A summary of the characteristics of the eligible studies is presented in Table 3. The fourteen papers comprising 13 interventions, included RCTs (n = 6 papers) (da Costa Louzada et al, 2012;Hu et al, 2009;Kusuma et al, 2017;Lin et al, 2016;Ramírez-Silva et al, 2013;Vitolo et al, 2010), NRCTs (n = 5 papers) (Knueppel et al, 2010;Low et al, 2007;Mascie-Taylor et al, 2010;Mujibur Rahman et al, 1994;Olney et al, 2009), and pre-post studies (n = 3 papers) (Darrouzet-Nardi et al, 2016;Noradilah and Zahara, 2012;Sirikulchayanonta et al, 2010).…”

“…The majority of studies were conducted in Asian countries (n = 9 papers) (Darrouzet-Nardi et al, 2016;Hu et al, 2009;Kusuma et al, 2017;Lin et al, 2016;Mascie-Taylor et al, 2010;Mujibur Rahman et al, 1994;Noradilah and Zahara, 2012;Olney et al, 2009;Sirikulchayanonta et al, 2010). Studies predominantly targeted children's healthy food consumption (n = 11 papers) (da Costa Louzada et al, 2012;Darrouzet-Nardi et al, 2016;Hu et al, 2009;Knueppel et al, 2010;Kusuma et al, 2017;Low et al, 2007;Mascie-Taylor et al, 2010;Mujibur Rahman et al, 1994;Noradilah and Zahara, 2012;Olney et al, 2009;Sirikulchayanonta et al, 2010). Eating behaviour outcomes were assessed through parent/ caregiver report in all studies and an additional researcher report (spot checking) was conducted in two studies (Mujibur Rahman et al, 1994;Noradilah and Zahara, 2012).…”

“…Eating behaviour outcomes were assessed through parent/ caregiver report in all studies and an additional researcher report (spot checking) was conducted in two studies (Mujibur Rahman et al, 1994;Noradilah and Zahara, 2012). Questionnaires were the most frequently used measure (n = 7 papers) (Hu et al, 2009;Kusuma et al, 2017;Lin et al, 2016;Mascie-Taylor et al, 2010;Mujibur Rahman et al, 1994;Olney et al, 2009;Sirikulchayanonta et al, 2010) followed by single 24-hr recall (n = 2 papers) (Darrouzet-Nardi et al, 2016;Ramírez-Silva et al, 2013), multiple 24-hr recalls (n = 2 papers) (da Costa Louzada et al, 2012;Vitolo et al, 2010), FFQ (n = 1 paper) (Knueppel et al, 2010), FFQ and a 24-hr recall (n = 1 paper) (Low et al, 2007) and researcher recorded food record (n = 1 paper) (Noradilah and Zahara, 2012) . The study sample size ranged from 26 to 2876 children, with an age of birth to 8 years.…”

“…This was reported in four community development related studies through increasing the relevant food production at household level. Significant positive associations were identified between animal sourced food production and their consumption in three studies (Darrouzet-Nardi et al, 2016;Knueppel et al, 2010;Olney et al, 2009). One study reported that increased production of vegetables (sweet potatoes) increased the consumption of that vegetable in intervention households compared with control households (Low et al, 2007).…”

“…The main criteria impacting study quality was absence of reporting validity and reliability of measurements although they clearly defined the outcomes. For the three studies with a pre-post studies (Darrouzet-Nardi et al, 2016;Noradilah and Zahara, 2012;Sirikulchayanonta et al, 2010) the criteria of 'comparable study groups' and 'use of blinding to prevent introduction of bias' were not applicable.

Word count of main text: 4436 words Word count of abstract: 244 words AbstractLow and middle-income countries are experiencing the dual burden of malnutrition which is, at least in part, attributable to changes in eating behaviours of children under age five.Development of food choices is influenced by multiple factors and understanding the interplay of these factors in early childhood in these countries is necessary to promote healthy food choices. We conducted a systematic review to examine the evidence of family and community factors targeted in interventions to influence the eating behaviour of preschool-aged children in low and middle-income countries. A search for peer-reviewed papers was conducted using CINAHL, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, Scopus and ProQuest Health Management published prior to September 2018, in English language including preschool-aged children (PROSPERO registration CRD42018108474). Fourteen studies published between 1994 and 2017 were eligible for inclusion. Factors that were consistently and positively associated with children's healthy food consumption were household food availability, nutritional knowledge of family or caregivers and family income. Unhealthy food consumption in children was inversely associated with family or caregivers' nutritional knowledge. Children's micronutrient intake was positively associated with household food availability, nutritional knowledge of family or caregivers and food availability in the surrounding environment. Findings highlight the importance of targeting nutritional knowledge of family or caregivers to facilitate healthy eating behaviours in children. In addition, creating a supportive family environment via increasing household food availability and family income should be considered when designing interventions to promote healthy eating behaviours in preschool-aged children living in low and middle-income countries.

To determine the effects of community-level interventions that aim to improve access to nutritious food in LMICs, for both the whole community and for disadvantaged or at-risk individuals or groups within a community, such as infants and children, women, the elderly, the poor, the unemployed, or minority groups. Secondary objectives To determine the features of community-level interventions that enable or impede the effective implementation of these interventions to improve access to food. To identify unintended consequences of interventions to improve access to food. B A C K G R O U N D Description of the condition Food security exists when "all people, at all times, have physical, social and economic access to sufficient, safe and nutritious food that meets their dietary needs and food preferences for an active and healthy life" (FAO 2003). When this is not the case, the population is said to be food insecure. Food insecurity and associated undernutrition affect health and socioeconomic development on different levels (Black 2013; Ecker 2012; Victora 2008). For adults it has been associated with increased risk of disability, morbidity and mortality, and with income generating potential (Black 2008, Black 2013, Victora 2008). 1 Community-level interventions for improving access to food in low-and middle-income countries (Protocol)
