Social undermining of weight management behaviors among young adult African American women
BACKGROUND: Social undermining of weight management behaviors represents a meaningful intervention target as social undermining may lead to dietary and exercise lapses. Young adult African American women, who exhibit the highest prevalence of obesity compared to young adults of all other races and ethnicities, may experience different types of social undermining or respond differently to social undermining due to various cultural factors (eg, cul…

Impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic on Physical Activity among Mostly Older, Overweight Black Women Living in the Rural Alabama Black Belt
Despite well-documented global declines in physical activity (PA) during the COVID-19 pandemic, little is known regarding the specific impact among underserved, rural Alabama counties. This is concerning as this region was already disproportionately burdened by inactivity and related chronic diseases and was among the hardest hit by COVID-19. Thus, the current study examined the effect of COVID-19 on PA in four rural Alabama counties. An ancillar…

The associations of perceived neighborhood disorder and physical activity with obesity among African American adolescents
Future studies should longitudinally assess perceived neighborhood disorder characteristics and childhood adiposity to examine the timing, extent, and the mechanisms by which perceived neighborhood disorder characteristics increase the risk of obesity
What “Price” Means When Buying Food
Objectives. We explored the role of price in the food purchasing patterns of Black adults and youths. Methods. We analyzed qualitative data from interviews and focus groups with socioeconomically diverse, primarily female, Black adults or parents (n = 75) and youths (n = 42) in 4 US cities. Interview protocols were locality specific, but all were designed to elicit broad discussion of food marketing variables. We performed a conventional qualitat…
The Impact of Cost on the Availability of Fruits and Vegetables in the Homes of Schoolchildren in Birmingham, Alabama
Objectives. Fruit and vegetable cost is a presumed barrier to intake. We sought to determine whether fruit and vegetable cost and consumers’ race and income would predict availability of fruits and vegetables in homes of schoolchildren in the Birmingham, Ala, area. Methods. Data on availability of 27 fruit and vegetable items were obtained from homes of 1355 children (32% African American) in the Birmingham area. Fruit and vegetable costs were ob…

PURPOSE: The primary aim of this study was to examine whether parent affect and child temperament characteristics differ across feeding styles in low-income families, given suggestive evidence. The secondary aim was to examine whether feeding styles were still related to children's body mass index independent of parent affect, child temperament, and known correlates. METHODS: Participants in this study were 718 parents of children attending Head …
Fear of physical response to exercise among overweight and obese adults
Regular physical activity has been shown to have significant impact on both physical and mental health; however, over half of adults in the US do not meet current recommendations for physical activity. Pain is one of the most commonly cited barriers to physical activity among adults. Fear of pain has been shown to have a significant correlation with pain-related disorders including back pain and arthritis, but no studies have examined the role th…
