Development and Validation of a Novel Instrument to Measure the Community Well-Being of Residency Programs
The Impact of First-Person Abortion Stories on Community-Level Abortion Stigma
Exposure to first-person video stories may not decrease community-level abortion stigma among U.S. adults
Food insecurity among individuals with substance use disorders in an Eastern city clinic
Food insecurity (FI) is under-researched among people experiencing substance use disorders (SUD). Given the physical and mental health consequences associated with FI, this study examined the prevalence of FI and its covariates in individuals seeking treatment for SUDs and whether any specific SUD diagnosis was associated with FI. Individuals with polysubstance use disorder (PSUD) were compared to those with a single SUD diagnosis. This study was…

Randomized controlled trial testing the effectiveness of adaptive “SMART” stepped-care treatment for adults with binge-eating disorder comorbid with obesity
This randomized controlled trial (RCT) tested effectiveness of adaptive SMART stepped-care treatment to "standard" behavioral weight loss (BWL [standard]) for patients with binge-eating disorder (BED) and obesity. One hundred ninety-one patients were randomly assigned to 6 months of BWL (standard; n = 39) or stepped care (n = 152). Within stepped care, patients started with BWL for 1 month; treatment responders continued BWL, whereas nonresponder…
Ingredient bundles and recipe tastings in food pantries
Objective The present study examined the effect of ingredient bundles (i.e. measured ingredients with recipes) and recipe tastings as a strategy to increase the selection of healthy, target foods (kale, brown rice and whole-wheat pasta). Design Each of the three conditions was tested once per week for three weeks. The conditions were: Treatment 1 (T1), recipe tastings only; Treatment 2 (T2), ingredient bundle plus recipe tastings; and Control, no…
Evaluation of a web-based cognitive behavioral smoking cessation treatment for overweight/obese smokers
This pilot study tested the efficacy of an Internet-administered smoking cessation treatment for overweight/obese smokers. Participants were 54 community volunteers with overweight/obesity who were regular smokers. Treatment consisted of 12 weeks of nicotine replacement therapy and randomization to Internet-administered cognitive behavioral treatment or health education. In-person assessments of key outcomes occurred at baseline, post-treatment, …

Our OHRqOL measurement instrument tailored to young adults demonstrates initial psychometric properties of reliability and validity among a social-network derived volunteer population
Food cravings mediate the relationship between chronic stress and body mass index
This study examined the relationships between chronic stress, food cravings, and body mass index. A community-based sample of adults ( N = 619) completed a comprehensive assessment battery and heights and weights were measured. Chronic stress had a significant direct effect on food cravings, and food cravings had a significant direct effect on body mass index. The total effect of chronic stress on body mass index was significant. Food cravings pa…
An examination of the food addiction construct in obese patients with binge eating disorder
Between the Letter and Spirit of the Law
The excessive influence of shape or weight on self-evaluation--referred to as overvaluation--is considered by some a central feature across eating disorders but is not a diagnostic requirement for binge eating disorder (BED). This study examined shape/weight overvaluation in 399 consecutive patients with BED. Participants completed semistructured interviews, including the Eating Disorder Examination (EDE; C. G. Fairburn & Z. Cooper, 1993) and sev…
Psychometric Properties of the Food Thought Suppression Inventory in Men
The Food Thought Suppression Inventory (FTSI) recently was validated with an undergraduate female sample. The measure proved to be a highly reliable and valid one-factor measure of food thought suppression. The current study examined the psychometric properties of the FTSI within 289 men. Results suggest that removing one item resulted in a reliable and valid one-factor measure of food thought suppression for men. Similar to the published results…
The association between food cravings and consumption of specific foods in a laboratory taste test
Predicting Medical Regimen Adherence
The present study examined the interactions between five dimensions of health locus of control beliefs and their relationships with medical regimen adherence in low-income individuals diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. One hundred and nine patients were administered an expanded Multidimensional Health Locus of Control (MHLC) scale. HbA1c was used as a biological indicator of medical regimen adherence. Multivariate regression analyses demonstrated th…
Sex, Race/Ethnicity, Socioeconomic Status, and BMI in Relation to Self‐Perception of Overweight
Objective: To compare the self‐perception of overweight in the study population according to sex, race/ethnicity, and socioeconomic status and to compare the self‐perception of overweight among individuals classified as normal weight, overweight, and obese. Research Methods and Procedures: Data from 5440 adults who participated in the 1994 to 1996 Continuing Survey of Food Intakes by Individuals and the Diet and Health Knowledge Survey conducted …
Development and Validation of the Food‐Craving Inventory
Objective: The primary aim of this study was to develop and validate the Food‐Craving Inventory (FCI), a self‐report measure of specific food cravings. Research Methods and Procedures: In a preliminary study, participants ( n = 474) completed the initial version of the FCI. The results from this study were used in developing the revised FCI. Participants ( n = 379) completed the revised FCI in the primary study designed to develop a self‐report m…
