Global urbanicity is associated with brain and behaviour in young people
Urbanicity is a growing environmental challenge for mental health. Here, we investigate correlations of urbanicity with brain structure and function, neuropsychology and mental illness symptoms in young people from China and Europe (total n = 3,867). We developed a remote-sensing satellite measure (UrbanSat) to quantify population density at any point on Earth. UrbanSat estimates of urbanicity were correlated with brain volume, cortical surface a…
Developing and Evaluating Digital Interventions to Promote Behavior Change in Health and Health Care
Devices and programs using digital technology to foster or support behavior change (digital interventions) are increasingly ubiquitous, being adopted for use in patient diagnosis and treatment, self-management of chronic diseases, and in primary prevention. They have been heralded as potentially revolutionizing the ways in which individuals can monitor and improve their health behaviors and health care by improving outcomes, reducing costs, and i…
Exploring personal data for public good research
This forum is dedicated to personal health in all its many facets: decision-making, goal setting, celebration, discovery, reflection, and coordination, among others. We look at innovations in interactive technologies and how they help address current critical healthcare challenges. --- Gillian R. Hayes, Editor

Comic books, eagerly consumed by Australian readers and reviled with equal intensity by their detractors, became embroiled in post-war era debates about youth culture, censorship and Australian national identity. Yet there are few references to this remarkable publishing phenomenon in most histories of Australian print media, or in studies of Australian popular culture. This article demonstrates how the history of comic books in Australia has lar…
Strategies that Predict Weight Loss among Overweight/Obese Young Adults
These strategies may be particularly helpful to promote short-term weight loss in overweight/obese young adults
Influence of specific individual and environmental variables on the relationship between body mass index and health-related quality of life in overweight and obese adolescents
Community Health Partnerships for Chronic Disease Prevention Among Latinos
Neighborhood Preference, Walkability and Walking in Overweight/Obese Men
Walkability and self-selection are both important to walking behavior
Reliability and Validity of the Sedentary Behavior Questionnaire (SBQ) for Adults
Background: Sedentary behavior is related to obesity, but measures of sedentary behaviors are lacking for adults. The purpose of this study was to examine the reliability and validity of the Sedentary Behavior Questionnaire (SBQ) among overweight adults. Methods: Participants were 49 adults for the 2 week test-retest reliability study (67% female, 53% white, mean age = 20) and 401 overweight women (mean age = 41, 61% white) and 441 overweight men…
Do neighborhood environments moderate the effect of physical activity lifestyle interventions in adults
Intervention-mediated effects for adult physical activity
Latent Growth Curve Modeling of Adolescent Physical Activity
Data from a randomized clinical trial were used to examine the extent to which a health promotion intervention affected changes in psychosocial constructs and if so whether these in turn explained changes in physical activity (PA). PA and psychosocial data on 878 adolescents (ages 11-15) recruited through primary care providers (age M = 12.7 years, SD = 1.3; 58% white non-Hispanic) were measured at baseline, six and 12 months. Parallel process la…
Feasibility and outcomes of a multilevel place-based walking intervention for seniors
Psychosocial Correlates of Dietary Intake Among Overweight and Obese Men
Community Design and Access to Recreational Facilities as Correlates of Adolescent Physical Activity and Body-Mass Index
Background: Neighborhood-level environmental features have been associated with adult physical activity and weight status, but this link has not been established for adolescents. Methods: Community design and access to recreational facilities variables were derived using geographic information systems (GIS) for 799 adolescents (age 11 to 15 y, mean = 12.8 y, 53% girls, 43% ethnic minority). Environment variables were calculated for a 1-mile buffe…
