Participation in multiple nutrition assistance programs early in the Covid-19 pandemic and dietary intake frequencies among WIC-participating children ages 1–4 years
Performance of a two-item screening for household food insecurity during WIC services
HVSS2 screening during WIC services has moderate-to-high negative (i.e., screen negative, are food secure) and positive (i.e., screen positive, are food insecure) predictive values for HFI. Dedicated staff training may be needed to improve the performance of the HVSS2 and to make HVSS2 data collected during WIC certifications more helpful in identifying and referring families experiencing HFI to more services
The neighborhood food environment modifies the association between infant feeding and childhood obesity
Among specialty infant formulas issued by WIC, only CSSFs were associated with elevated obesity risk, and this association was stronger in healthier food environments. Future research is needed to isolate the mechanism underlying this association
Breastfeeding moderates childhood obesity risk associated with prenatal exposure to excessive gestational weight gain
Gaining excessive gestational weight may increase obesity risk in the offspring, while breastfeeding lowers that risk. Using data from the Special Supplemental Nutrition Programme for Women, Infants and Children (WIC) in Southern California, we examined the associations between gestational weight gain (GWG), breastfeeding during infancy and childhood obesity at 2-4 years, and determined whether breastfeeding moderated the association between GWG …
Lower redemption of monthly Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children benefits associated with higher risk of program discontinuation
Objective: To determine whether Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) food benefit redemption is associated with discontinuing WIC participation, failure to recertify, overall and by race/ethnicity-language preference and participant category. Design: Retrospective cohort study, using multivariable modified Poisson regression to determine risk ratios (RR) and 95 % CI for associations between household-level…
The Covid-19 Pandemic Contributed to Disparities in Housing-Cost Burden Among WIC-Participating Households in the Most Populous County in California
California WIC Participants Report Favorable Impacts of the Covid-Related Increase to the WIC Cash Value Benefit
The United States Department of Agriculture approved an increase to the Cash Value Benefit (CVB) for the purchase of fruits and vegetables issued to participants receiving an eligible Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) food package. In order to understand satisfaction, perceptions, and the overall impact of additional benefits for fruits and vegetables at the household level, a qualitative study consisti…
The role of income and neighbourhood poverty in the association between the 2009 Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC) food package change and child obesity amon…
Objective: To determine whether a previously reported association between the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC) food package change and reduced child obesity risk among WIC-participating children in Los Angeles County holds across levels of family income and neighbourhood poverty. Design: Analysis of prospectively collected WIC administrative data. The outcome was obesity at age 4 years (BMI-for-age ≥ 95…
Domesticating the Exotic? An Online Survey of Attitudes towards the International Wildlife Pet Trade
There are a variety of perspectives on wildlife management and conservation, necessitating interdisciplinary research to develop better management strategies. We answered the call to action provided by Teel et al. (2018) to integrate social sciences into conservation and explored an important but understudied issue: views on the international pet-trade of exotic animals. Some pet owners advocate the pet trade as a means to promote conservation, w…
The Importance of Federal Waivers and Technology in Ensuring Access to WIC During Covid-19
The neighborhood food environment modifies the effect of the 2009 WIC food package change on childhood obesity in Los Angeles County, California
The impact of the food package change was modified by the neighborhood food environment among girls only. Future policy changes should incorporate consideration of ways to mitigate potentially inequitable geographic distribution of the health benefits of policy changes
Cross-sectional associations between the neighborhood built environment and physical activity in a rural setting
Significant associations between features of the environment (overall and aesthetic scores) with leisure time PA were observed among adults in this rural population. Built environment interventions in rural settings face additional barriers of lower population density and greater distances for infrastructure projects, and it is important to identify approaches that are both feasible for rural communities and can promote PA
Every month matters
Background Research has found breastfeeding to be protective of obesity; however, this link remains contentious. We examined longitudinal associations between exclusive breastfeeding duration, growth trajectories and obesity at 4 years among children participating in the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC), and whether these associations differed in the context of the 2009 WIC food package change, implemen…
Patterns of Cyclist and Pedestrian Street Crossing Behavior and Safety on an Urban Greenway
Greenways are linear open spaces, which are often used as trails for pedestrians and cyclists, but junctions with roads are a safety concern and act as a potential impediment to active transportation. This study evaluated crossing behavior patterns and safety at greenway−road junctions in New Orleans, LA. Crossing behaviors, safety and motor vehicle behavior were collected using direct observation methods. Intercept surveys were conducted to asse…
Social Desirability, Defense Styles, and the Children's Role Inventory Scale
This investigation was designed to answer several research questions. First, using each participant's dominant score to place that individual into one of the four Children's Role Inventory categories, what would be the distribution of college students across the categories? Second, is there a relationship between scores on scales of the Children's Role Inventory and (a) on the Marlowe-Crowne Social Desirability Scale and (b) on scales of the Defe…
Jesse James, the Bourgeois Bandit
When Twentieth Century-Fox chose to repeat history in 1957 by resurrecting Jesse James for the second time, the studio seemed motivated by one of Marx's most famous aphorisms: if the 1939 Jesse James is tragedy, then True Story of Jesse James is farce. two versions of this famous American tale include nearly all of the same events, and yet they reveal surprisingly disparate approaches to the outlaw's life. Their dissimilarity recalls an observati…
