  • Effects of Prenatal DHA Dose on Infant Visual Attention

    Open AccessJohn Colombo, D Jill Shaddy et al.ARTICLEDevelopmental Psychobiology2025References: 35

    Prenatal supplementation with docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) has been reported to improve cognitive outcomes in infancy and early childhood in some studies. Existent studies have examined the effects of some dose of DHA against a true placebo; this report is the first to describe the effects of different doses of prenatal DHA on infant visual attention at 4 and 6 months of age. In a follow‐up to a Phase III registered clinical trial (NCT02709239) des…

    Open AccessErica Cruvinel, Kimber P Richter et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2022

    Smoking during pregnancy and postpartum remains an important public health problem. No known prior study has prospectively examined mutual changes in risk factors and women's smoking trajectory across pregnancy and postpartum. The objective of this study was to report methods used to implement a prospective cohort (Msgs4Moms), present participant baseline characteristics, and compare our sample characteristics to pregnant women from national birt…

  • Higher Diet Quality in Latina Women during Pregnancy May Be Associated with Sociodemographic Factors

    Open AccessJuliana Teruel Camargo, Matthew K Taylor et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2022

    Acculturation contributes to low diet quality and can foster health inequities for Latina women during pregnancy. Conversely, nutrition literacy (NL) increases diet quality and could promote health equity. This study assessed the associations between the diet quality, acculturation, and NL of Latina women (n = 99) participating in the Assessment of Docosahexaenoic Acid On Reducing Early Preterm Birth (ADORE) study. Acculturation and nutrition lit…

  • The need to study rural cancer outcome disparities at the local level

    Open AccessJeffrey Thompson, Lynn Chollet-Hinton et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2021

    Many cancers are affected by unique social and environmental factors that may vary between rural and urban residents, such as access to care, diet, and lifestyle. Our results show that rurality can increase or decrease risk, depending on cancer site, which suggests the need to consider the factors connected to rurality that influence this complex pattern. Thus, we argue that such disparities must be studied at the local level to identify and desi…

  • Nutrition literacy predicts adherence to healthy/unhealthy diet patterns in adults with a nutrition-related chronic condition

    Open AccessMatthew K Taylor, Debra K Sullivan et al.ARTICLEPublic Health Nutrition2019

    Objective: To describe the relationship between adherence to distinct dietary patterns and nutrition literacy. Design: We identified distinct dietary patterns using principal covariates regression (PCovR) and principal components analysis (PCA) from the Diet History Questionnaire II. Nutrition literacy was assessed using the Nutrition Literacy Assessment Instrument (NLit). Cross-sectional relationships between dietary pattern adherence and global…

  • Capacity of US Drug Treatment Facilities to Provide Evidence-Based Tobacco Treatment

    Jamie J Hunt, Byron J Gajewski et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health2013Cited by: 1References: 12

    Although people with drug problems consume a large proportion of cigarettes smoked in the United States, few drug treatment facilities offer tobacco treatment. Our analysis of 405 facilities showed that most had the skills but few had policies, leadership, or financial resources to provide evidence-based tobacco treatment. For-profits reported significantly fewer tobacco treatment resources than nonprofits. The Affordable Care and Mental Health P…

  • Change in self-efficacy, autonomous and controlled motivation predicting smoking

    Open AccessAna-Paula Cupertino, Carla J Berg et al.ARTICLEJournal of Health Psychology2012Cited by: 3References: 43

    Although motivational interviewing (MI) has been shown to be effective in changing health behaviors, its effects on smoking cessation have been mixed. The purpose of the present study is to assess factors of motivation and self-efficacy as they mediate the relationship between MI and smoking cessation. This is a secondary analysis of an MI based smoking cessation randomized trial. MI counseling was associated with change in smoking behaviors duri…
