Simultaneous activities
Other than the questionnaires and the social media campaign, throughout the CADENUSA project, multiple complementary activities were carried out, such as the session about ‘Myths and truths on the media about eating healthy’. During the different conferences, presented by the Principal Investigator of the project, full-time university professor in Journalism Carolina Moreno Castro, we have had the pleasure of counting with Dr. María de la Montaña Cámara Hurtado, full-time university professor of Pharmacy at the Complutense University of Madrid, Dr. Patricia Morales Gómez, Associate Professor of Pharmacy at the Complutense University of Madrid and Dr. Vanessa Roger Monzó, professor at the ESIC Business&Marketing School. Additionally, the researchers in training and members of the project Ana Serra and Paula von Polheim showed CADENUSA main objectives and the results of the questionnaires.
The session revolved around different blocks:
• Half truths, myths and hoaxes about eating.
• Using social media to promote a healthy diet.
• Diets during lock down: an analysis on the speech from the media about nutrition during Covid-19.

Another activity that took place was a workshop with the fourth year Journalism students, specifically those who have taken the subject ‘Scientific Journalism’. Together with the professor of the subject, Dr. Susanna Ligero, and the researchers in training from CADENUSA, Ana Serra and Paula von Polheim, the students have collaborated in the CADENUSA questionnaires and have contributed their perspectives and ways of learning about healthy eating. Similarly, they were given some CADENUSA coasters in which the QR with the link to the questionnaires was printed.
