Testing a multi-behavioral intervention to improve oral health behaviors in the pediatric dental surgery population
Severe early childhood caries (S-ECC) is a common disease within marginalized pediatric populations. S-ECC is often treated under general anesthesia to facilitate extensive treatment in young children, but treatment does not address etiology of an infectious disease that is rooted in health behaviors. Without behavior changes related to toothbrushing and sugar consumption, many children experience recurrent disease, and some require subsequent su…
Structural Violence and Stress Experiences of Young Pregnant Black People
Obstetric experiences of young black mothers
Baseline Demographic, Anthropometric, Psychosocial, and Behavioral Characteristics of Rural, Southern Women in Early Pregnancy
Physical Activity Changes during Pregnancy in a Comparative Impact Trial
Neither the Parents as Teachers (control) curriculum nor the Parents as Teachers Enhanced intervention proved effective at increasing or maintaining MVPA in this cohort of pregnant women. Lack of adequate physical activity in pregnancy remains an important public health concern, especially given its known health benefits
Psychosocial constructs were not mediators of intervention effects for dietary and physical activity outcomes in a church-based lifestyle intervention
Objective Evaluating an intervention’s theoretical basis can inform design modifications to produce more effective interventions. Hence the present study’s purpose was to determine if effects from a multicomponent lifestyle intervention were mediated by changes in the psychosocial constructs decisional balance, self-efficacy and social support. Design Delta Body and Soul III, conducted from August 2011 to May 2012, was a 6-month, church-based, li…
A Church-Based Pilot Study Designed to Improve Dietary Quality for Rural, Lower Mississippi Delta, African American Adults
Engagement Indicators Predict Health Changes in a Lifestyle Intervention
Use of single engagement indicators specific to each intervention component is advocated for predicting relevant health outcome
Food and beverage choices contributing to dietary guidelines adherence in the Lower Mississippi Delta
Objectives The objectives of the present study were to evaluate diet quality among Lower Mississippi Delta (LMD) residents using the Healthy Eating Index-2005 (HEI-2005) and to identify the top five dietary sources contributing to HEI-2005 components. Demographic differences in HEI-2005 scores were also explored. Design Diet quality was evaluated using HEI-2005. Demographic differences in HEI-2005 scores were investigated using multivariable regr…
