Parents and health professionals had good knowledge of vitamin D sources, roles and risk factors for deficiency over two timepoints. There were however some confusions regarding the vitamin D content of breast milk, exclusive breastfeeding as a risk factor for deficiency, and ineffectiveness of sun exposure through glass windows in relation to vitamin D synthesis. In 2019, only 37% of health professionals indicated giving advice on supplements for infants\/toddlers. Most parents and health professionals believed there was not enough information available to parents regarding vitamin D (&gt;90%) and that skin cancer prevention messages make it difficult to get information about vitamin D across (&gt;70%).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Although parents and health professionals had good knowledge in most areas, knowledge of some specific sources and risk factors for vitamin D deficiency was poor.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/02601060231185190","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,3]],"date-time":"2023-07-03T02:13:08Z","timestamp":1688350388000},"page":"613-624","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Knowledge, attitudes and behaviours towards vitamin D and sun exposure of parents of infants and young children and health professionals in New Zealand"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"32","author":[{"given":"Pamela","family":"von Hurst","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Health, Massey University, Auckland, New Zealand"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3743-2152","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hajar","family":"Mazahery","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Health, Massey University, Auckland, New Zealand"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Esme","family":"Reynolds","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Health, Massey University, Auckland, New Zealand"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alexandra","family":"Thomson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Health, Massey University, Auckland, New Zealand"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mia","family":"Franklin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Health, Massey University, Auckland, New Zealand"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Cathryn","family":"Conlon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Health, Massey University, Auckland, New Zealand"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,2]]},"reference":[{"issue":"3","key":"e_1_3_2_2_1","first-page":"916","article-title":"Parental awareness and knowledge of vitamin D and its health benefits for children","volume":"11","author":"Abu-Hassan M","year":"2018","unstructured":"Abu-Hassan M, Hussein A, Mohamed M, et al.
