Impact of School Rurality on Fruit and Vegetable Selection Differs by Sex and Eating Duration for Arizona Schools
Urban Indian young adults’ perceptions of a healthy lifestyle and its associated factors
Introduction The prevalence of overweight and obesity and the associated non-communicable diseases in young adulthood has increased significantly in the last decade. Urban Indian young adults fail to meet the recommended guidelines for healthy diet and physical activity. The aim of this qualitative study was to gain novel insights into the barriers and facilitators of a healthy lifestyle of Indian young adults residing in urban settings. Methods …
Perceived influences of fruit and vegetable consumption among Indian adolescents – A qualitative inquiry
The emerging themes and sub-themes show that multiple factors are likely to affect fruit and vegetable consumption in adolescents, aligning with literature on adolescent fruit and vegetable consumption in international settings. Behavioral interventions should be designed to create enabling environments to encourage fruit and vegetable consumption in Indian adolescents by removing barriers at the individual, household, and community levels, there…
Food insecurity is inversely associated with positive childhood experiences among a nationally representative sample of children aged 0–17 years in the USA
Objective: We examined the association between food insecurity and positive childhood experiences (PCE). Design: Outcome measure was number of PCE and seven PCE constructs. Food insecurity was assessed with a three-category measure that ascertained whether the respondent could afford and choose to eat nutritious food. We then used bivariate and multivariable Poisson and logistic regressions to analyse the relationship between food insecurity and …
Adverse childhood experiences and food insecurity in emerging adulthood
Objective: Low childhood socio-economic status (SES) and adverse childhood experiences (ACE) are associated with poor health outcomes in adulthood. Determining how ACE may be linked to food insecurity among young people from socio-economically diverse households can inform health-protective strategies. This study examined if ACE are associated with food insecurity during the transition to adulthood and investigated prevalence differences across S…
Sustainability via Active Garden Education
Sustainability of intervention programming is challenging to achieve under real world conditions, since few models exist and many studies do not plan far beyond the funding period. Programming content in early care and education centers (ECECs) is often driven by guidelines. However, implementation is very sensitive to contextual factors, such as the setting and implementer (teacher) characteristics. This paper presents the model, definitions, an…
Preschoolers’ parent and teacher/director perceptions of returning to early childcare education during the Covid-19 pandemic
COVID-19 continues to impact attendance at ECE sites, despite parents reporting key benefits to attending ECE sites. Teachers/directors supported COVID-19 mitigation strategies including saliva-based testing and gardening education to improve safe return to schools

Dietary Patterns with Healthy and Unhealthy Traits Among Overweight/Obese Hispanic Women with or at High Risk for Type 2 Diabetes
Street Food Stand Availability, Density, and Distribution Across Income Levels in Mexico City
Street food stands (SFS) are an understudied element of the food environment. Previous SFS studies have not used a rigorous approach to document the availability, density, and distribution of SFS across neighborhood income levels and points of access in Mexico City. A random sample ( n = 761) of street segments representing 20 low-, middle-, and high-income neighborhoods were assessed using geographic information system (GIS) and ground-truthing …
Availability, variety and distribution of healthy and unhealthy foods and beverages sold at street food stands in Mexico City
Objective: To examine differences in the availability, variety and distribution of foods and beverages sold at street food stands (SFS) across neighbourhood income levels in Mexico City. Design: Cross-sectional. Setting: Twenty neighbourhoods representing low-, middle- and high-income levels in Mexico City. Participants: Direct observations of SFS ( n 391). Results: The availability of healthy foods such as fruits/vegetables was high in middle- a…
Viewpoint
A growing body of research among college students has estimated remarkably high levels of food insecurity when compared to food insecurity estimates from the general population over the past decade, with recent literature reviews reporting average prevalence rates of 33–51% compared to 9.8% among U.S. adults. Given these high rates of food insecurity, policymakers at the state- and federal-levels are considering legislation to better understand a…
Effects of a Community-Based Pilot Intervention on Home Food Availability among U.S. Households
The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of a pilot community-based behavioral intervention on the home food environment in U.S. households. Parents (21 females, 2 males; age = 36 ± 5.5 years; 78% Hispanic) of elementary school-aged children attended a 10-week dietary improvement behavioral intervention targeting an increase in fruit and vegetable consumption and a reduction in sugar intake. Home food availability of fruit, vegetables,…
Relationship between different levels of the Mexican food environment and dietary intake
Objective: To investigate the possible associations between the food environment and dietary intake in the Mexican population. Design: Four databases (PubMed, PsychInfo, Web of Science and SCIelo) were used to retrieve relevant articles using an open timeframe. Articles were reviewed if they contained a systematic measure (i.e. food checklist) of the food environment (e.g. food availability) and dietary intake. Setting: Urban and rural communitie…

Weight Shame, Social Connection, and Depressive Symptoms in Late Adolescence
Child and adolescent obesity is increasingly the focus of interventions, because it predicts serious disease morbidity later in life. However, social environments that permit weight-related stigma and body shame may make weight control and loss more difficult. Rarely do youth obesity interventions address these complexities. Drawing on repeated measures in a large sample ( N = 1443) of first-year (freshman), campus-resident university students ac…
The Association among Emotions and Food Choices in First-Year College Students Using mobile-Ecological Momentary Assessments
Negative and positive emotions were significantly associated with food choices. mEMA methodology provides a unique opportunity to examine these associations within and between people, providing insights for individual and population-level interventions. These findings can be used to guide future longitudinal studies and to develop and test interventions that encourage healthy food choices among first-year college students and ultimately reduce th…
Demographic Relationships to Students’ Fruit and Vegetable Intake
Objective Fruit and vegetable (FV) intake remains inadequate in youth and differs across demographic subgroups. We examined relationships between student demographic characteristics and amounts of fresh FV selected, consumed, and wasted at school lunch. MethodsRandomly selected students (N = 294) at 3 middle schools participated. Weights (g) of FV selected and wasted were measured. School-cluster adjusted regressions examined the association betw…
Food insecurity negatively impacts academic performance
Recent research has documented high rates of food insecurity among university students, particularly students in their first year. Food insecurity among university students has been linked to poorer self‐reported health and academic outcomes. However, few studies have linked reports of food insecurity to objective student outcomes. In this study, we examine how food insecurity is associated with first‐year university students' ( n = 591) academic…
