  • Weight-inclusive nutrition education in K-12 schools: Deconstructing the weight-normative narrative

    Janet Gamble, Jordan A Levinson et al.ARTICLEHealth Education2026

    Purpose This viewpoint explores the potential that weight-inclusive nutrition (WIN) education has to mitigate anti-fat bias, weight-based bullying, and disordered eating among young people. It argues for a shift in how nutrition is taught in K–12 school settings—moving away from weight-centric approaches toward a more inclusive and holistic understanding of food, bodies, and health. Design/methodology/approach Drawing on the principles of the soc…

  • Ditching Diet Talk: A Qualitative Study of Teachers Implementing Weight‐Inclusive Nutrition Curriculum in the High School Health Classroom

    Open AccessJanet Gamble, Jordan A Levinson et al.ARTICLEJournal of School Health2026

    BACKGROUND: Nutrition education in U.S. high schools is traditionally taught from a weight-centric approach.

To address this gap, a weight-inclusive nutrition (WIN) curriculum was collaboratively developed and implemented with high school health teachers. METHODS: This pilot study examined the perspectives of three teachers using…

  • Exploring weight inclusive vs. weight-normative approaches in high school nutrition education

    Open AccessDeborah Hinchey, Bernice Raveche Garnett et al.ARTICLEHealth Education2025

However, little is known about nutrition educa…

  • Exploring educator and school professional perspectives of restorative practices implementation climate

    Peter Knox, Bernice Raveche Garnett et al.ARTICLEContemporary Justice Review2024

    Restorative practices (RP) implementation requires substantial adult buy-in, time, leadership support, and resources. Limited studies have examined the implementation of RP from the perspectives of different groups of school professionals (e.g. teachers, paraprofessionals, and non-classroom staff) and their perceptions of RP implementation climate (i.e. support, efficacy, use). Fewer studies have investigated such differences in perceptions of RP…

  • Development and validation of a multi-domain survey assessing student experiences with school-based restorative practices implementation: Community based participatory research at work for school equi…

    Amanda Davis Simpfenderfer, Bernice Raveche Garnett et al.ARTICLEContemporary Justice Review2023

    The emerging research base on Restorative Practices (RP) efficacy in schools lacks validated instruments of RP implementation fidelity that capture youth responsiveness to RP components. Therefore, members of a University-District Community Based Participatory (CBPR) project collaboratively developed the Student Restorative Culture Survey (SRCS). This study seeks to examine the construct validity of the SRCS using confirmatory factor analysis (CF…

  • Intra‐and Interpersonal Factors Buffer the Relationship Between Food Insecurity and Mental Well‐Being Among Middle Schoolers

    Open AccessJesse Brinkman, Bernice Raveche Garnett et al.ARTICLEJournal of School Health2021

    BACKGROUND: Food insecurity (FI) is a significant predictor of feelings of isolation in children, as well as suicide ideation and depression. Using a census of public middle school-aged children, we seek to determine whether FI is associated with suicide ideation and feelings of hopelessness and how individual and school community factors can alleviate or exacerbate this relationship. METHODS: We analyzed data from the 2015 Youth Risk Behavior Su…
