Factors related to social disconnectedness among older unpaid caregivers
Background Older unpaid caregivers often face social isolation and loneliness, yet risk factors for social disconnection remain largely unexplored. As the demand for unpaid caregiving rises with an aging population, there is a need for targeted interventions to reduce social disconnectedness in this vulnerable group. This study aimed to identify determinants of social disconnectedness. Methods Data came from a sample of 701 unpaid caregivers aged…
Potential unintended outcomes of policy and environmental strategies to increase physical activity in rural communities
Physical inactivity continues to be a major public health concern in the United States, and rural residents are less likely than urban residents to meet recommended physical activity (PA) levels (approximately 20% vs 25%).1 While policy and environmental strategies are being increasingly recognized and evaluated for their potential to increase PA and improve health outcomes in rural communities,2 little attention has been given to the unintended …
A profile approach to physical activity levels
The results from this study support the important role of psychological factors such as motivation and reasons for exercise on behavioral outcomes (i.e., physical activity). For future research investigating adults PA- related behaviors, whether it be on adults starting a new exercise program or for PA maintenance, it may be beneficial to develop programs that encourage participants to reflect on the reasons they identify as important for exercis…

The Effects of Play Streets on Social and Community Connectedness in Rural Communities
Promoting physical activity (PA) is a long-standing public health initiative to improve overall health and wellbeing. Innovative strategies such as Play Streets, temporary activation of public spaces to provide safe places for active play, are being adopted in urban and rural communities to increase PA among children. As part of these strategies, aspects of social and community connectedness may be strengthened. This study analyzes focus groups a…
Maternal Perceptions of Physical Activity Spaces for Children in Texas Border colonias
This study examined differences in mother-reported physical activity (PA) and screen time (ST) based on child sex and mothers’ perceptions of PA resources for Mexican-heritage (MH) children residing in Texas-Mexico border colonias. Mothers with children 8 to 10 years old ( n = 335) from colonias in south Texas reported if there were places for their child to be physically active and their child’s hours of PA and ST per day during the week and wee…

Topic Modeling
Objective Topic modeling (TM) refers to a group of methods for mathematically identifying latent topics in large corpora of data. Although TM shows promise as a tool for social science research, most researchers lack awareness of the tool's utility. Therefore, this article provides a brief overview of TM's logic and processes, offers a simple example, and suggests several possible uses in social sciences. Methods Using latent semantic analysis in…

The Influence of Sense of Community on the Perceived Value of Physical Activity
As the physical activity marketplace becomes increasingly diversified, strategies for recruiting and maintaining participants have become especially salient. Accordingly, the current study examined the use of a commonly reported outcome of fitness participation, sense of community (SOC), as an antecedent in generating both value and the perception of progress for participants. Three fitness contexts, CrossFit, traditional group fitness activities…
