Sustained Effectiveness of the Walk Across Texas Program
Objectives: In this study, we used a follow-up assessment to determine the sustained effectiveness of Walk Across Texas, a web-based community physical activity program. Methods: We recruited a sample of adult participants (N=291) who completed program assessments across 3 time periods (pre-, post-, follow-up) in 2018. We assessed changes in self-reported physical activity (days/week). Statistical analysis incorporated paired-samples t-tests, rep…
Development and initial validation of the Spanish form of the adjustment scales for preschool intervention (Aspi)
Early care and education among Latino families
Classroom Language Contexts as Predictors of Latinx Preschool Dual Language Learners’ School Readiness
The present study examined the relations between teacher-child interactions, teachers’ Spanish use, classroom linguistic composition, and the school readiness skills of low-income, Latinx, Spanish-speaking dual language learners (DLLs), controlling for home and teacher background characteristics, with a national probability sample of Head Start children (i.e., from the Family and Child Experiences Survey [FACES, 2009]). Findings revealed that Hea…
Evaluation of Walk Across Texas! – a web-based community physical activity program
The results provide initial support for the effectiveness of WAT! to initially increase and maintain moderate levels of PA of participants over 8-weeks, even in inactive or low-active participants. Descriptor variables were unable to differentiate between those who increased PA and those who did not. However; the results provide a canvas for future research questions regarding PA enhancement within a team-centered, web-based approach
Examining the Role of Income Inequality and Neighborhood Walkability on Obesity and Physical Activity among Low-Income Hispanic Adults
Impact of school-based vegetable garden and physical activity coordinated health interventions on weight status and weight-related behaviors of ethnically diverse, low-income students
The TGEG study targets a population of students and parents at high risk of obesity and related chronic conditions, utilizing a novel and collaborative approach to program formulation and delivery, and a rigorous, randomized study design
Validity of the first two subtests of the preschool language assessment scale as a language screener for Spanish-speaking preschool children
Observations of teacher–child interactions in classrooms serving Latinos and dual language learners
Instruction in Spanish in pre-kindergarten classrooms and child outcomes for English language learners
Measurement and Population Miss-Fits
This study explored the importance of using relevant measures when evaluating the effectiveness of early childhood interventions. Data from the federally-funded evaluation of the Comprehensive Child Development Program were used to examine whether the behavior measure, the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL), was an appropriate tool for the diverse community-based sample of young, low-income children. Results demonstrated no confirmation of the CBCL …
Parenting Behaviors in the First Year of Life
The present study utilizes a nationally representative sample of infants and families (N = 10,498) to examine Latino parenting, building upon previous studies on book reading, storytelling, singing, and teaching behaviors. The findings suggest that, once factors pertaining to family resources and characteristics have been accounted for (e.g., educational level, knowledge about infant development, partner conflict, religious service attendance, an…
