Healthy Eating for Life English as a second language curriculum
We conducted a pre-post feasibility trial of Healthy Eating for Life, a theory-based, multimedia English as a second language curriculum that integrates content about healthy nutrition into an English language learning program to decrease cancer health disparities. Teachers in 20 English as a second language classrooms delivered Healthy Eating for Life to 286 adult English as a second language students over one semester. Postintervention data are…
Examining the use of message tailoring to promote physical activity among medically underserved adults
The purpose of this study was to examine if messages tailored to an individual's regulatory focus (i.e. their tendency to focus on prevention or promotion) increased exercise intentions and behavior in a medically underserved sample. Adult English as a Second Language students ( N = 58) were presented with tailored exercise messages. There was a significant main effect for message type; participants who received promotion messages reported greate…

The effect of response cost information, message framing and past behaviour on women's coping appraisal and motivation to be vaccinated against the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) were investigated using a 2 Frame × 2 Response Cost × 2 Pap Status design. Women ( N = 286) read one of four messages about the vaccine. Women who received high-risk information perceived the vaccine as having higher response cost and were less motivated to be vaccinated com…
New Canadian Physical Activity Guidelines
The Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology (CSEP), in cooperation with ParticipACTION and other stakeholders, and with support from the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC), has developed the new Canadian Physical Activity Guidelines for Children (aged 5–11 years), Youth (aged 12–17 years), Adults (aged 18–64 years), and Older Adults (aged ≥65 years). The new guidelines include a preamble to provide context and specific guidelines for each age…
The story behind the numbers
In this paper, we tell the story of how our research programme – primarily focused on using quantitative research methods to promote physical activity among people with spinal cord injury – has been shaped by our foray into qualitative research. Telling our story is meant to foster discussion about the value of integrating qualitative approaches into a predominantly quantitative research programme and to highlight areas where we, quantitative beh…
Effects of a Print-mediated Intervention on Physical Activity during Transition to the First Year of University
Transition to the first year of university is linked to steep declines in moderate-vigorous physical activity (MVPA). The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of a targeted, theory-driven, print-based intervention on MVPA during transition to university. Volunteer participants from five Canadian universities (n=255) completed measures of MVPA at the start of their first semester at university and were randomly assigned to conditio…
A Review of Acculturation Measures and Their Utility in Studies Promoting Latino Health
The authors reviewed the acculturation literature with the goal of identifying measures used to assess acculturation in Hispanic populations in the context of studies of health knowledge, attitudes, and behavior change. Twenty-six acculturation measures were identified and summarized. As the Hispanic population continues to grow in the United States, there is a need to develop rigorous acculturation measures that include health indicators. Findin…
A field experiment testing the utility of regulatory fit messages for promoting physical activity
No Pain No Gain? Examining the Generalizability of the Exerciser Stereotype to Moderately Active and Excessively Active Targets
This study examined whether the exerciser stereotype extends to moderately and excessively active individuals, and if the rater's self-described exercise status moderates the effect. Using a 2 (exercise status) x 5 (target type) design, 456 participants read a description of a typical exerciser, a nonexerciser, an active-living target, an excessive exerciser, or a control target and rated her on 12 personality and 8 physical dimensions. MANOVAs r…
