Body image and disordered eating behaviors in Hispanic/Latino Youth
Lessons on Resilient Research
Tribal Turning Point (TTP) is a community-based randomized controlled trial of a lifestyle intervention to reduce risk factors for type 2 diabetes in Native youth. TTP began in 2018 and was interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. In this paper we aimed to understand 1) how the pandemic impacted TTP's operations, and how the TTP team successfully adapted to these impacts; 2) how the effects of COVID-19 and our adaptations to them were simila…
The Association of the Parent–Child Language Acculturation Gap with Obesity and Cardiometabolic Risk in Hispanic/Latino Youth
Discordance in Hispanic/Latino parent-child dyads' English use may relate to increased risk for childhood obesity. Future studies should identify mediators of this association
Targeting family functioning, acculturative stress, and sugar-sweetened beverage consumption for obesity prevention
A socio-ecological perspective that incorporates the role of key acculturation-related factors across multiple levels may aid efforts to identify mechanisms that influence the relationship between acculturation status and diet among Hispanic/Latino youth and their families
Relationship Between Parental Locus of Control and Childhood Injury

Between 2012 and 2014, youth underwent a fasting blood draw and anthropometric assessment, an…
