Food Insecurity, Neighborhood Food Environment, and Health Disparities
Forms of Community Engagement in Neighborhood Food Retail
Community engagement is well established as a key to improving public health.

This study used a case study approach to understand the experiences of health…
An embedded multiple case study
Highly adaptable programs and the healthcare context enhanced implementation feasibility across settings. These characteristics can support program uptake in other settings, but should be used with caution to preserve program fidelity. A foundational model for the development and testing of standard clinical practice was the product of this study
Developmental disparities in sedentary time by period of the day among US youth
Our data provide interventionists with estimates of the potential for ST reduction in each setting and period of the day among US adolescents.
