Abstract
A healthy diet is crucial to building a strong immune system, but how do we encourage people to eat better? Looking at data from the 2018 General Household Survey, HSRC researchers investigated the extent to which access to mobile phones, radios, televisions and the Internet leads to improved consumption of fruit and vegetables.-
