Provider and Parent Perspectives on Pediatric Screening for Research on Early Life Adversity
Growing evidence links early life adversity (ELA), including Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and unpredictability, to disrupted health and development. This knowledge has led to increased screening for ELA in primary care settings and provided new opportunities to further research associations between ELA and health. It is imperative to ensure that research on ELA and ELA screening is intentionally inclusive of populations traditionally unde…
Data Missingness and Equity Implications in the Nation's Largest Student Fitness Surveillance System
BACKGROUND: Data missingness can bias interpretation and outcomes resulting from data use. We describe data missingness in the longest-standing US-based youth fitness surveillance system (2006/07-2019/20). METHODS: This observational study uses the New York City FITNESSGRAM (NYCFG) database from 1,983,629 unique 4th-12th grade students (9,147,873 student-year observations) from 1756 schools. NYCFG tests for aerobic capacity, muscular strength, an…
Mitigation and Physical Activity Behaviors Among School‐Aged Children During the Sars ‐ CoV ‐2 Pandemic
BACKGROUND: The COVID-19 pandemic closed schools to in-person learning across the United States, resulting in unintended increases in sedentary behavior among children. Individual states maintained different mitigation policies, potentially affecting activity behaviors. This study examined student mitigation behavior and sedentary time during school in one Arizona and one California county once schools reopened. METHODS: Physical distancing, mask…
Adolescent Covid-19 Vaccine Decision-Making among Parents in Southern California
Adolescent COVID-19 vaccination has stalled at 53% in the United States. Vaccinating adolescents remains critical to preventing the continued transmission of COVID-19, the emergence of variants, and rare but serious disease in children, and it is the best preventive measure available to return to in-person schooling. We investigated parent-adolescent COVID-19 vaccine decision-making. Between 24 February and 15 March 2021, we conducted surveys and…
US School‐Based Physical Fitness Assessments and Data Dissemination
BACKGROUND: Low physical fitness (PF) levels during childhood affect healthy growth and development, and increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Physical education standards exist for nearly all states in the United States, but evaluation of PF in youth has yet to be systematic, reproducible, and harmonized. The purpose of this project was to describe publicly available data of school-based PF testing (SB-PFT). METHODS: A list of state-mand…
Body composition and its components in preterm and term newborns
A prospective, cross‐sectional, observational study in preterm and term infants was performed to compare multimodal measurements of body composition, namely, limb ultrasound, bone quantitative ultrasound, and dual X‐ray absorptiometry (DXA). One hundred and two preterm and term infants appropriate for gestational age were enrolled from the newborn nursery and neonatal intensive care unit. Infants were included when they were medically stable, in …
Factors Predicting Behavioral Response to a Physical Activity Intervention Among Adolescent Females
Spectral and bout detection analysis of physical activity patterns in healthy, prepubertal boys and girls
Little is known about the frequency-intensity patterns of naturally occurring physical activity in children. A data set obtained previously by direct observation of physical activity in 8 girls and 7 boys (all prepubertal, ages 6-10) was analyzed with spectral analysis to detect significant frequency-intensity relationships. Pulse detection algorithms were used to characterize the number of exercise bouts, their duration and relative intensity. S…
