“…The greater demand for nutritional food for infants is further compounded by the increasing awareness among mothers for healthy babies. Despite this rapid growth in consumption of infant food, very limited studies have investigated the pattern of infant feeding within the Malaysian context (Manderson 1984;King and Ashworth 1987). Since the cognitive processes within the individual is important in influencing a consumer's food choices (Conner 1993), it would be beneficial for food manufacturers to understand these processes in order to plan appropriate marketing strategies.…”

The purpose of the study is to determine the relationships between belief, attitude, subjective norm, intention, and behavior towards the choice of infant food based on the Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA). An analysis on a sample of 108 mothers indicates that the TRA could be used in predicting choice decision of infant food formulas by explaining 57 percent of the variance in the behavioral intention. The subjective norm component had a higher predictive power than the attitudinal component. Of this normative component, parents or relatives and doctors were found to be more influential. Intention to choose an infant formula was also influenced by family income. The belief outcomes in evaluating a premium infant formula and economic infant formula were found to be different. For premium infant formula, brand trusted, closest to breast milk and nutrients content were identified as the dominant attributes. In contrast, availability, affordable, and nutrients content were identified as the prime beliefs in evaluating economic infant formula. Implications of the findings are discussed.

“…Studies on international health have tended to focus on condition-and disease-specific issues, such as drug use during pregnancy (Collaborative Group on Drug Use in Pregnancy, 1992), infant feeding in developing countries (King & Ashworth, 1987), and the epidemiology of diabetes (King & Zimmet, 1988). There have also been comparisons of health service issues, such as waiting times for cardiovascular procedures (Carroll et al, 1995).…”

The authors conducted a survey of members of the International Psychogeriatric Association (IPA) to determine the state of development of both the profession of geriatric psychiatry and services for mentally ill elderly. Ratings for both issues were based on a scale of 1 to 4, with 1 being little to no development and 4 being the highest. A rating of 2 was set as the desired minimum, and 12 countries met this goal in both categories, with 6 more countries reaching this goal in service development only. We conclude that although the field of geriatric psychiatry and services for mentally ill elderly are still underdeveloped in much of the world, in many countries they are developed sufficiently enough that the IPA is in an excellent position to provide both information and technical assistance to nations wishing to advance.

“…She linked these changes to new medical recommendations, the pronouncements of the Church, the trickling-down of fashions from the higher classes, and the forces of economic circumstance and gender and generational hierarchies at the level of the household. Fildes insists on the importance of this period because, as European domination spread, their norms of infant feeding demonstrably influenced practices across the rest of the world (a point developed by King and Ashworth, 1987, and see below).…”
