Evaluating InPact Intervention‐Context Fit in Resource‐Limited School Districts in Central Michigan
BACKGROUND: Many school-based physical activity (PA) interventions are implemented without adequately assessing their contextual fit, which can hinder their effectiveness and sustainment, ultimately reducing their impact on student health and well-being. This study aimed to assess the pre-implementation fit of the Interrupting Prolonged Sitting with ACTivity (InPACT) classroom PA intervention in one resource-limited intermediate school district (…
I’m Black and I’m Stressed”
Exploring parental views and perceptions of cardiovascular health
These findings highlight the need for flexible, community-based interventions that support CVH by engaging families and incorporating mental health promotion strategies. Effective strategies include enhancing community fitness and nutrition, programs to reduce cost barriers, offering flexible options to accommodate family schedules, and addressing emotional well-being. Healthcare providers can play a key role in these efforts by actively encourag…
Peer bullying victimization, psychological distress, and the protective role of school connectedness among adolescents
Increasing a sense of belonging among students (i.e., school connectedness) may help buffer the adverse effects of bullying on depression among adolescents
Sex and race/ethnicity differences in the 24-hour movement behaviors among adolescents in the Future of Families and Child Wellbeing Study (FFCWS)
There is a continued need for interventions to promote physical activity and sleep among adolescents, with a particular focus on increasing sleep duration among boys and physical activity among girls and Hispanic/Latino adolescents
Physical Activity Engagement among Black Immigrants and African American Adults in the 2010 to 2018 NHIS Study
Culturally tailored interventions addressing socioenvironmental barriers and facilitators of physical activity may have important impacts on physical activity promotion and long-term disease burden among Black adults across nativity
A Mixed Methods Analysis of Long Covid Symptoms in Black Americans
Racial Discrimination and Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal Axis Dysregulation in Adolescents With Overweight and Obesity
OBJECTIVES: In adolescents at higher risk for chronic disease, the role that context of a discriminatory event may play on cortisol dysregulation is unclear. The purpose of this study was to perform a cross-sectional analysis examining the association between racial discrimination context (peer, educational, institutional, and cumulative) and diurnal cortisol patterning in adolescents with overweight and obesity. METHODS: One hundred adolescents …
A Novel Policy Alignment and Enhancement Process to Improve Sustainment of School-Based Physical Activity Programming
The purpose of the current study was twofold: (1) to evaluate the strength and comprehensiveness of district wellness policies in one central Michigan intermediate school district (ISD; 16 districts), and (2) to pilot a novel policy alignment and enhancement process in one district within the ISD to improve sustainment of district-wide physical activity (PA) programming. Policy evaluation and alignment were determined using WellSAT 3.0. The Explo…
Migration-Related Weight Changes among African Immigrants in the United States
(1) Background: people who migrate from low-to high-income countries are at an increased risk of weight gain, and excess weight is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Few studies have quantified the changes in body mass index (BMI) pre- and post-migration among African immigrants. We assessed changes in BMI pre- and post-migration from Africa to the United States (US) and its associated risk factors. (2) Methods: we performed a cross-sectio…

A Pilot Intervention Using Gamification to Enhance Student Participation in Classroom Activity Breaks
The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of adding game design elements (goal setting, feedback, and external rewards) to an evidence-based physical activity intervention to increase in-class physical activity participation (intensity of activity breaks performed). Nine third- through sixth-grade classrooms ( n = 292 students) in one elementary-middle school in Detroit, Michigan (49% female, 95% nonwhite; 80% qualified for free/reduc…
Perceived Stress Predicts Lower Physical Activity in African-American Boys, but not Girls
There are important gender differences in how AA girls perceive, experience, and cope with stress compared to AA boys. Although AA girls reported higher levels of stress and employed more coping strategies, perceived stress was associated with physical inactivity in AA boys, but not girls. Additional research is warranted to better understand the influence of stress on the choice to be physically active in AA youth
