Gender disparities in job flexibility, job security, psychological distress, work absenteeism, and work presenteeism among U.S. adults
Findings highlight the need for policies and practices that recognize and address gender-specific workforce experiences and needs. Tailored interventions that enhance job flexibility and security, support caregiving responsibilities, and provide comprehensive mental health services can address such challenges
Exploring Mental Health Needs, Stressors, and Intervention Preferences Among Adolescents of Color
Purpose: Examine mental health stressors and needs among adolescents of color and understand their preferences for community-based mental health interventions
From Awareness to Action
This commentary calls for a shift in the identification, analysis, and treatment of disparities in pain management. We provide context and research that summarize social and structural determinants that contribute to disparities across multiple levels of the pain management continuum. Informed by the evidence, we provide guideposts for mitigating disparities in the assessment, diagnosis, and care provided to those experiencing pain, with a focus …
Factors impacting implementation of nutrition and physical activity policies in rural schools
Schools provide a unique setting to promote healthy diet and PA behaviors among children and their families. Study findings show that while knowledge of specific nutrition and PA policies may vary, support for such policies were high among rural stakeholders. Study findings can inform policy development and support strategies for policy implementation in rural settings. Future studies may want to examine whether implementation of strategies addre…

Design and methods for a community-based intervention to reduce sugar-sweetened beverage consumption among youth
ClinicalTrials.gov NCT02890056 . Date of Registration: August 31, 2016
From Evidence to Impact
While finding effective solutions to child and adolescent health problems is very much a scientific endeavor, getting those solutions into widespread practice largely is not. This paper applies lessons from business and engineering to highlight the shortcomings of current approaches to science translation. In challenging the status quo, the paper introduces and defends three propositions: that many evidence-based programs are not worth disseminat…
Weight Loss Motivations
Findings can inform targeted weight loss interventions
Environmental factors associated with disordered weight-control behaviours among youth
Objective Environmental factors may be very important in the development of disordered weight-control behaviours (DWCB) among youth, yet no study to date has conducted a review that synthesizes these findings. The purpose of the present study was to systematically review existing literature on environmental influences on DWCB among youth and to identify conceptual and methodological gaps in the literature. Design Systematic review. Setting Studie…
