Parental engagement and implementation fidelity in a mHealth motor skills intervention for young children
Introduction: Mobile apps (i.e., mHealth) provide unprecedented opportunity for widespread dissemination of health behavior programs. However, for programs directed towards young children, parental engagement may explain differing results of mHealth programs. Within the context of an app-based fundamental motor skill (FMS) intervention that improved children's motor skills (PLAY), this paper examines parents' fidelity to the intervention and the …
Exploring profiles of fathers integrating food and physical activity parenting practices
Objective: This study aims to identify fathers’ profiles integrating food parenting practices (FPP) and physical activity parenting practices (PAPP). Design: We analysed cross-sectional data. The fathers completed the reduced FPP and PAPP item banks and socio-demographic and family dynamics (co-parenting and household responsibility) questionnaires. We identified fathers’ profiles via latent profile analysis. We explored the influence of social d…
Race and sex differences in the association between lifespan glycemic status and midlife cognitive function
Introduction: Glycemic markers throughout life are associated with increased risk of midlife cognitive decline, yet it is unclear whether these associations differ by race and sex. Methods: This study used cross-sectional analysis of prospectively maintained cohort. 1,295 participants in the Bogalusa Heart Study, a biracial epidemiological cohort located in a micropolitan area core setting, provided fasting plasma insulin (FPI) and glucose (FPG) …
Exploring barriers to Sars‐CoV ‐2 testing uptake in underserved black communities in Louisiana
OBJECTIVE: To collect qualitative data on approaches that can potentially reduce barriers to, and create strategies for, increasing SARS-CoV-2 testing uptake in underserved Black communities in Louisiana. METHODS: A series of eight focus groups, including 41 participants, were conducted in primarily Black communities. The Nominal Group Technique (NGT) was used to determine perceptions of COVID-19 as a disease, access to testing, and barriers limi…
A 12-week randomized controlled pilot study of dance exergaming in a group
Dance exergaming, which involves playing an interactive video game that requires the player to make upper and lower body movements by dancing to music, may provide a social physical activity experience that positively impacts psychosocial health. The objective of this randomized controlled study was to examine the effects of group-based dance exergaming on adolescent girls’ psychosocial health including enjoyment, subjective health, perceived pee…
The Influence of Neighborhood Crime on Increases in Physical Activity during a Pilot Physical Activity Intervention in Children
Perceived Weight Discrimination and Obesity
Weight discrimination is prevalent in American society. Although associated consistently with psychological and economic outcomes, less is known about whether weight discrimination is associated with longitudinal changes in obesity. The objectives of this research are (1) to test whether weight discrimination is associated with risk of becoming obese (Body Mass Index≥30; BMI) by follow-up among those not obese at baseline, and (2) to test whether…
