Acknowledgments Project TEENAGE—the prevention of socio-economic inequalities in health behaviour in adolescents in Europe— has received funding from the European Union in the framework of the Public Health Programme (Project-Number 2006323). The authors declare that they have no conflict of interest. The contributions of the authors were as follows: N.L. drafted the final manuscript; L.H., S.J.tV. and L.Me. reanalysed study 1, 2 and 3, respectively; F.J.vL. initiated the project; K-I.K., L.Mo., I.dB. and F.F. contributed to the initiation of the project and were work package leaders. All authors commented on early drafts of the manuscript and have read and approved the final manuscript. The TEENAGE work package on dietary interventions would like to acknowledge the work of Researcher Marianne Wind and Research assistants Lena L. Nymoen and Benedicte K. Mælnes in the initial search for the intervention studies and writing on early drafts of the manuscript.

N2 - The aim of this study was to explore subgroup effects by high and low socioeconomic position (SEP) of three previously conducted, effective European interventions.Reanalyses stratified by SEP were conducted by the research groups of each study. All studies were school-based: two multi-component interventions targeting intake of fat or fruit and vegetables (FV), and a free breakfast initiative.Computer-tailored advice affected fat intake among low, but not high SEP girls after 1 year. A multi-component intervention affected the total FV intake in both SEP groups, vegetable intake in low SEP and fruit intake in high SEP across three countries after 1 year, whereas free fruit affected total FV and fruit intake equally in both SEP groups in one country after 2 years. Providing a free healthy breakfast increased consumption of healthy food items only in the low SEP group.Reanalysing intervention studies by SEP is a quick and easy way to explore patterns in effects by SEP across interventions. Providing healthy food might be a promising strategy for decreasing social inequalities.
