Challenges Associated With Rural‐Urban Stratification for Generalizing Birth Outcomes
PURPOSE: Efforts to generalize findings from the Environmental influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO) Cohort across rural and urban areas are challenged by limitations in both sample composition and the classification schemes used to define place. We evaluated how rural-urban stratification affects the interpretation and generalizability of preterm birth (PTB) prevalence proportions in the ECHO Cohort compared to national benchmarks. METHODS:…
A descriptive examination of rurality in the Environmental influences on Child Health Outcomes Cohort
PURPOSE: The Environmental influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO) Cohort has enrolled over 60,000 children to examine how early environmental factors (broadly defined) are associated with key child health outcomes. The ECHO Cohort may be well-positioned to contribute to our understanding of rural environments and contexts, which has implications for rural health disparities research. The present study examined the outcome of child obesity to …

Factors Associated with Breastfeeding Initiation and Continuation at Two Months Postpartum in American Indian Women
This study aimed to determine the prevalence of breastfeeding initiation and continuation at two months postpartum in American Indian (AI) mothers in South Dakota and to identify factors associated with breastfeeding. Using logistic regression, data from the South Dakota Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System were used to investigate the relationship between binary breastfeeding initiation and continuation outcomes and maternal behaviors and…
Model School‐District Wellness Policies Warrant Improvements in Comprehensiveness and Strength
BACKGROUND: School districts participating in the US Child Nutrition program are required to have a wellness policy. Many state agencies provide model policies to aid districts in policy creation. However, use of model wellness policies has not been associated with higher quality policies. Therefore, the purpose of the present study was to assess the quality of model wellness policies and to determine if federal regulations are more likely to be …
Quantifying the Food and Physical Activity Environments in Rural, High Obesity Communities
The built environment contributes to an individual's health, and rural geographies face unique challenges for healthy eating and active living. The purpose of this descriptive study was to assess the nutrition and physical activity environments in rural communities with high obesity prevalence. One community within each of six high obesity prevalence counties in a rural Midwest state completed the Nutrition Environment Measures Survey for Stores …
Cooking and Meal Planning as Predictors of Fruit and Vegetable Intake and BMI in First-Year College Students
The objective was to determine if cooking skills and meal planning behaviors are associated with greater fruit and vegetable intake and lower body mass index (BMI) in first-year college students who are at risk for excessive weight gain. A cross-sectional analysis was conducted using baseline data from a multi-state research project aimed at preventing weight gain in first-year college students. Cooking type, frequency and confidence, self-instru…
Developing the Tribal Resource Guide and the Poverty and Culture Training
The We RISE Study aimed to support young American Indian mothers on a tribal reservation by addressing social determinants of health at an individual and community-wide level. To address community-based barriers, the study developed the Tribal Resource Guide, a comprehensive list of available resources that was created through partnerships with community programs and staff. In addition to the guide, the study also developed the Poverty and Cultur…
Using Goal Setting and Attainment to Impact Indicators of Health Behavior Change among Young American Indian Women
The purpose of the present study was to assess the association between setting and attaining goals and indicators of health behavior change (psychological general well-being index, self-efficacy, and health locus of control) among young American Indian mothers. A total of 60 women were randomized to either intervention or control. At the end of the 6-month intervention, goal attainment was not significantly associated with the three outcomes of i…

Chronic Health Condition Influences on Client Perceptions of Limited or Non-choice Food Pantries in Low-income, Rural Communities
Objectives: Food insecurity and diet-related chronic health conditions are interrelated problems in rural communities. The population facing such outcomes may rely on food pantries as a way to gain access to food. Many food pantries use a traditional distribution model that restricts choice. Yet, dietary recommendations and the need to economize food resources place many challenges on households. In this research, we sought to determine whether c…
