Associations between Family Weight-Based Teasing, Eating Pathology, and Psychosocial Functioning among Adolescent Military Dependents
Weight-based teasing (WBT) by family members is commonly reported among youth and is associated with eating and mood-related psychopathology. Military dependents may be particularly vulnerable to family WBT and its sequelae due to factors associated with their parents' careers, such as weight and fitness standards and an emphasis on maintaining one's military appearance; however, no studies to date have examined family WBT and its associations wi…

Developing culturally appropriate obesity prevention programs for African American (AA) adolescent girls that account for psychological risk factors is paramount to addressing health disparities. The current study was part of an investigation utilizing a community-based participatory research framework to gather qualitative data from urban AA girls, their caregivers, and community health liaisons to develop a novel obesity prevention program base…
Factor Analysis of EDI-3 Eating Disorder Risk Subscales Among African American Women
This study examined the factor structure of the eating disorder subscales of the Eating Disorder Inventory-3 among African American and European American women. Confirmatory factor analyses of the three-factor model proposed by Garner were conducted separately for each group. Confirmatory factor analyses results indicated the three-factor model was an adequate fit for the European American sample, but only a mediocre fit in the African American s…
Weight stigma among active duty U.S. military personnel with overweight and obesity
The experience of weight stigma among gym members with overweight and obesity
Ethnic Identity and Implicit Anti-fat Bias
Research using self-report or explicit measures of body image suggests African American women have a more accepting view of larger figures than non-Hispanic White (NHW) women. However, increasing research indicates that explicit views may vary from those held at a deeper, implicit level. Our study examined whether African American women held an implicit negative bias toward overweight/fat individuals, despite a greater explicit acceptance of larg…
Preventing Obesity in the Military Community (Pomc)
Obesity impacts the U.S. military by affecting the health and readiness of active duty service members and their families. Preventing Obesity in Military Communities (POMC) is a comprehensive research program within Patient Centered Medical Homes (PCMHs) in three Military Training Facilities. This paper describes three pilot randomized controlled trials that target critical high risk periods for unhealthy weight gain from birth to young adulthood…

Assessing the Stages of Change Among African American Women in a Weight Management Program
The objective of this study was to assess the relationship between stage of change (SOC) and behavioral outcomes among African American women entering obesity treatment in two settings. Fifty-five overweight/obese (body mass index = 26.50-48.13), but otherwise healthy African American women, 23 to 56 years old, attended a 13-week weight loss-treatment program that took place at churches ( n = 36) or a university ( n = 19). Participants were weigh…
