Acute Effects of Walking and Standing on Executive Function in Children with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder
Children with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) struggle with executive functioning (EF). While physical activity (PA) benefits EF, little is known about the impact of specific activities like standing. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of performing a rigorous experimental study to compare the effects of walking and standing on EF in children with ADHD. Six areas of feasibility were assessed: recruitment, ra…
Prognostic accuracy of biomarkers of immune and endothelial activation in Mozambican children hospitalized with pneumonia
Pneumonia is a leading cause of child mortality. However, currently we lack simple, objective, and accurate risk-stratification tools for pediatric pneumonia. Here we test the hypothesis that measuring biomarkers of immune and endothelial activation in children with pneumonia may facilitate the identification of those at risk of death. We recruited children
Developmental origins of disease highlight the immediate need for expanded access to comprehensive prenatal care
The prenatal environment plays a critical role in shaping fetal development and ultimately the long-term health of the child. Here, we present data linking prenatal health, via maternal nutrition, comorbidities in pregnancy (e.g., diabetes, hypertension), and infectious and inflammatory exposures, to lifelong health through the developmental origins of disease framework. It is well-established that poor maternal health puts a child at risk for ad…
Central American Parents’ Preferences for Content and Modality for a Family-Centered Intervention to Promote Healthful Energy Balance-Related Behaviors of Their Preschool-Age Children
This formative research used a cross-sectional survey to assess interest in informational content and intervention modalities for the design of an early childhood obesity prevention intervention for Central American families from the Northern Triangle countries (El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras) living in the United States. A total of 74 parents (36 mothers, 38 fathers) with a mean age of 31.6 years (SD = 5.6) completed the survey; 59.5% of w…
Wayfinding Tools for People With Visual Impairments in Real-World Settings
A review of 35 peer reviewed articles dated from 2016 to February, 2021 was conducted to identify and describe the types of wayfinding devices that people who are blind, visually impaired or deafblind use while navigating indoors and/or outdoors in dynamic travel contexts. Within this investigation, we discovered some characteristics of participants with visual impairments, routes traveled, and real-world environments that have been included in r…
Seamless Wayfinding by a Deafblind Adult on an Urban College Campus
This article reports on an empirical evaluation of the experience, performance, and perception of a deafblind adult participant in an experimental case study on pedestrian travel in an urban environment. The case study assessed the degree of seamlessness of the wayfinding experience pertaining to routes that traverse both indoor and outdoor spaces under different modalities of technology-aided pedestrian travel. Specifically, an adult deafblind p…
Socioecological Factors Associated with an Urban Exercise Prescription Program for Under-Resourced Women
One strategy to promote physical activity (PA) is for health care providers to give exercise prescriptions (ExRx) that refer to community-based facilities. However, facilitators and barriers specific to urban programs in the US for under-resourced women are unknown. Thus the purpose of this formative research was to explore ExRx barriers and facilitators specific to US under-resourced women to inform future intervention targets and strategies. Th…
Brief parental self-efficacy scales for promoting healthy eating and physical activity in children
This study provides preliminary evidence for the validity of brief PSE scales and invariance across groups suggesting their utility for research and clinical management of weight-related behaviours
A measure development study of sugar-sweetened beverage-related knowledge, self-efficacy, and intention among urban, low-income adults
This study provides evidence for the validity of key constructs related to SSB consumption for use in adults, which could provide important theory-based markers for program evaluations of SSB-related interventions
Depressive Symptoms and Length of U.S. Residency Are Associated with Obesity among Low-Income Latina Mothers
Latinos are the largest minority population group in the United States (U.S.), and low-income Latina women are at elevated risk of depression and obesity. Thus, the prevention of these two problems is a pressing public health concern in this population. Both depressive symptoms and obesity are modifiable factors that can be addressed by culturally relevant interventions. However, the association between depressive symptoms and obesity in Latina i…
Latino parents’ perceptions of the eating and physical activity experiences of their pre-school children at home and at family child-care homes
Objective Research indicates that healthful eating and physical activity (PA) practices implemented in child-care settings can have a positive effect on children’s healthful behaviours in this setting, and this effect on healthful behaviours may possibly transfer to the home environment. While more research is needed to examine whether behaviours learned in family child-care homes (FCCH) transfer, the potential for transferability is especially i…
Do Coping Styles Mediate the Relationship Between Substance Use and Educational Attainment and Antiretroviral Adherence
Psychosocial Characteristics and Sexual Behaviors of People in Care for HIV Infection
Autonomous Regulation and Locus of Control as Predictors of Antiretroviral Medication Adherence
The purpose of the current study was to examine the interrelationships between autonomous regulation (AR) and locus of control (LOC) and their prediction of Antiretroviral Therapy (ART) adherence among 189 HIV+ patients. Path analyses revealed that neither AR nor LOC directly predicted adherence although AR was indirectly related when mediated by self-efficacy. AR was positively related to internal and doctors LOC, but not related to chance or ot…
Development of Review Criteria to Evaluate Health Behavior Change Websites
A growing number of major health care organizations, such as the American Heart Association and the Mayo Clinic, are investing considerable resources in developing and marketing Internet-based programs for health promotion and disease management. These programs have the potential to provide some of the best-tailored interventions in behavior change science at relatively low costs. This report discusses review criteria developed in order to conduc…
