Understanding how adolescents engage in mindfulness-based intervention
Mindfulness-based intervention (MBI) improves mental health outcomes in adolescents; however, effects tend to be small, and findings have been inconsistent. Engagement (i.e., productive involvement) has been positively associated with outcomes in other types of mental health interventions, suggesting it may play a role in MBI. However, it is unclear how engagement functions in the context of MBI for adolescents. The purpose of this mixed methods …
Acceptability and feasibility of a family-inclusive, community-based lifestyle and mindfulness program for Latinx adolescents at risk for type 2 diabetes
Self-regulation and behavioral risk factors for obesity in youth facing multiple adversities
The current study highlights the potential role of emotion regulation in obesity prevention efforts and identifies unique associations between specific facets of emotion regulation and health behaviors among youth exposed to adversity. Public health and obesity prevention efforts that target emotion regulation and coping skills may be particularly beneficial in promoting health behaviors in this population. Findings underscore the need for future…
Food access relates to loss of control eating in adolescents with cardiometabolic conditions
The present study examined the relationship between food insecurity (FI) and loss of control eating (LOC) in adolescents treated for cardiometabolic conditions, and inter-connections among week-to-week variations in receipt of SNAP benefits, FI, and LOC. Forty-one adolescents presenting to cardiometabolic clinics completed validated surveys of FI and LOC. A subset of 20 adolescents experiencing FI completed 4 weekly e-surveys, over 1 month. Overa…
Weight stigma in pediatric type 1 diabetes
Adolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1D) have elevated eating disorder risk. No studies have examined weight stigma as a potential factor associated with disordered eating. This study investigated cross-sectional associations among weight-based victimization, weight bias internalization, and disordered eating in adolescents with T1D. Adolescents (12-17 years; N = 166) self-reported experiences of weight-based victimization from peers, family member…
Supporting Youth Mental Health Through a Health Coaching Intervention with a Mindfulness Component
Boosting effects of mindfulness-based intervention with a multi-modal adaptive supplement
A Pilot and Feasibility Study on a Mindfulness-Based Intervention Adapted for LGBTQ+ Adolescents
(1) Background: Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and other gender and sexual minority-identified (LGBTQ+) adolescents face mental and physical health disparities compared to their heterosexual and cisgender counterparts. Mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) may be a potential method to intervene upon health disparities in this population. This pilot study explores the initial acceptability and feasibility, along with the descriptive h…

Observations of parent – adolescent interactions relate to food parenting practices and adolescent disordered eating in adolescents at risk for adult obesity
Adolescent disordered eating and obesity are interrelated and adversely relate to mental and metabolic health. Parental feeding practices have been associated with adolescent disordered eating and obesity. Yet, observable interactions related to food parenting have not been well characterized. To address this gap, N = 30 adolescents ( M ± SD 14 ± 2 year) at risk for adult obesity due to above‐average body mass index (BMI ≥70th percentile) or pare…
Universal, School-Based Mental Health Program Implemented Among Racially and Ethnically Diverse Youth Yields Equitable Outcomes
Although suicide is a leading cause of mortality among racial and ethnic minority youth, limited data exists regarding the impact of school-based mental health interventions on these populations, specifically. A single-arm pragmatic trial design was utilized to evaluate the equity of outcomes of the universal, school-based mental health coaching intervention, Building Resilience for Healthy Kids. All sixth-grade students at an urban middle school…
Within-Person variations in mindfulness mediate effects of daily stressors on psychological distress in adolescence
OBJECTIVE: We tested two competing models linking daily stress, mindfulness, and psychological distress in adolescence: 1) whether daily mindfulness moderates the impact of daily stressors on psychological distress or 2) whether mindfulness mediates the relationship between greater daily stressors and psychological distress. METHODS: Every evening for a week, 138 adolescents completed ecological momentary assessments (EMAs). Daily diaries assesse…
Identification of facilitators and barriers of healthy living and type 2 diabetes prevention among Latinx families
Youth-onset type 2 diabetes (T2D) is on the rise and may be associated with more adverse health outcomes than adult onset. Latinx adolescents are disproportionately at risk for T2D yet are underrepresented in prevention efforts. Extant interventions to prevent T2D in Latinx adolescents show limited effectiveness. Comprehensive understanding of Latinx adolescent/family needs is lacking, but necessary for cultural tailoring of T2D prevention. Resea…
Feasibility and Acceptability of Accelerometer Measurement of Physical Activity in Pregnant Adolescents
During pregnancy, physical activity relates to better maternal and child mental and physical health. Accelerometry is thought to be effective for assessing free-living physical activity, but the feasibility/acceptability of accelerometer use in pregnant adolescents has not been reported. In this short communication, we conducted secondary analysis of a small pilot study to describe the feasibility/acceptability of accelerometry in pregnant adoles…
Associations of parental feeding practices and food reward responsiveness with adolescent stress-eating
Mindfulness-based group intervention in adolescents at-risk for excess weight gain
Mindfulness and laboratory eating behavior in adolescent girls at risk for type 2 diabetes
Engaging African American Adolescents and Stakeholders to Adapt Interpersonal Psychotherapy for Weight Gain Prevention
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…
An 8-Year Prospective Study of Depressive Symptoms and Change in Insulin From Adolescence to Young Adulthood
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate whether depressive symptoms predict change in fasting insulin among adolescents followed into young adulthood. We hypothesized that higher depressive symptoms would predict increased insulin and that puberty and race/ethnicity would moderate this relationship. METHODS: Data came from the Princeton School District Study, a school-based longitudinal cohort of non-Hispanic black and white adolescents (2001-2011). Depressive sy…
Depressed affect and dietary restraint in adolescent boys' and girls' eating in the absence of hunger
Attentional bias to food cues in youth with loss of control eating
Depressive symptoms and observed eating in youth
Pre-meal affective state and laboratory test meal intake in adolescent girls with loss of control eating
Parent-adolescent relationship qualities, internal working models, and attachment styles as predictors of adolescents' interactions with friends
This study examined how parent-adolescent relationship qualities and adolescents' representations of relationships with parents were related to interactions in 200 adolescent-close friend dyads. Adolescents and friends were observed discussing problems during a series of structured tasks. Negative interactions with mothers were significantly related to adolescents' greater conflict with friends, poorer focus on tasks, and poorer communication ski…

A prospective investigation of interpersonal influences on the pursuit of muscularity in late adolescent boys and girls
This project examined whether interpersonal pressure to be muscular predicted late adolescents' pursuit of muscularity. Participants were 199 adolescents (16-19 years), mothers ( n = 175), and friends ( n = 159), assessed at two annual times. Pressure to be muscular was assessed with adolescents', mothers', and friends' reports of their relationships. Adolescents reported pressure from fathers and romantic partners, appearance satisfaction, disor…
