There is a need to design and implement effective and consistent strategies to improve nutrient intakes during pregnancy to meet public health nutrition objectives in Australia. The use of focus groups provides important insights into the nutrition-related beliefs and attitudes of pregnant women for the design of such efforts. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
