Healthy Change Intervention: A Cluster RCT in Preschooler Mothers in Mexico and the United States
Miranos! An 8-Month Comprehensive Preschool Obesity Prevention Program in Low-Income Latino Children: Effects on Children’s Gross Motor Development
Organized childcare is an ideal setting to promote gross motor development in young children from low-income minority families. A three-group clustered randomized controlled trial was conducted in Head Start centers serving low-income Latino children to evaluate the impact of an 8-month comprehensive obesity-prevention intervention on children's percentile scores for locomotive skills (LS pctl) and ball skills (BS pctl), and general motor quotien…
Míranos! a comprehensive preschool obesity prevention programme in low-income Latino children: 1-Year Results of a Clustered Randomised Controlled Trial
Objective: To test a culturally tailored obesity prevention intervention in low-income, minority preschool age children. Design: A three-group clustered randomised controlled trial. Setting: Twelve Head Start centres were randomly assigned to a centre-based intervention, a combined centre- and home-based intervention, or control using a 1:1:1 ratio.

College Students' Perceived Disease Risk Versus Actual Prevalence Rates
Incongruence between college students' perceived disease risk and disease prevalence rates calls for improved public health education
Perceived Risk of Developing Diabetes in Early Adulthood: Beliefs about Inherited and Behavioral Risk Factors across the Life Course
This study aimed to determine how college students perceive their risk of developing diabetes over their life course, with specific emphasis on their beliefs about the influence of inherited versus behavioral risk factors. A bivariate ordered probit regression model was used to simultaneously predict perceived risk for 10-year absolute risk of diabetes and lifetime absolute risk of diabetes. Ten-year and lifetime absolute risk were both increased…
