Hassle Exposure and Reactivity Links with Obesogenic Health Behaviors
Objectives: In this study, we explored associations between daily "hassles" (irritating inconveniences) and obesogenic health behaviors of college students. Methods: Students (N = 406, 62% female) completed a survey including the 5-point Brief College Student Hassle Scale which quantifies hassles experienced in the last month in 9 domains (eg, preparing meals, exercising, adequate sleep) and hassle reactivity (ie, upset from hassles), with scores…
EB4Cast Approach Improves Science Communication With Stakeholders in a College-Based Health Program
Communicating scientific results with community partners is often lacking in intervention programs, thus eB4CAST was developed to facilitate impact sharing. This article investigated using the eB4CAST dissemination tool to communicate impact from a campus-based obesity prevention program. Data from Get Fruved RCT university sites collected at baseline were used to generate eB4CAST reports. Experts (n=13) and RCT sites (n=15) were asked to provide…
Relationships among Executive Function, Cognitive Load, and Weight-related Behaviors in University Students
Objectives: College students have high risk of anxiety and weight gain. Understanding how executive function traits, especially with trait anxiety, associates with weight-related behaviors could indicate strategies for improving obesity prevention programs. In this study, we examined links between weight-related behaviors of undergraduate students and executive function traits with and without high cognitive loads in the form of trait anxiety. Me…

College Students' Health Behavior Clusters
Identified differences in characteristics and attitudes towards weight-related behaviors between males and females can be used to tailor weight management programs
Applying Common Latino Magazine Cover Line Themes to Health Communications
This study aimed to describe strategies used in magazine cover lines to capture the attention of Latino consumers. A content analysis of cover lines ( n = 581) from six top-selling Latino women’s and parenting magazines ( n = 217 issues) sold in the United States identified 12 common themes: great/inspiring, beauty/health, bad/negative, love/passion, family/protective, strength/power, daring, informative/how-to, newness/uniqueness, improve/organi…
Translating it into real life
Future education programs with preschool parents should emphasize supports and encourage parents to share helpful strategies with each other
Fruit-related terms and images on food packages and advertisements affect children’s perceptions of foods’ fruit content
Objective To determine whether food label information and advertisements for foods containing no fruit cause children to have a false impression of the foods’ fruit content. Design In the food label condition, a trained researcher showed each child sixteen different food label photographs depicting front-of-food label packages that varied with regard to fruit content (i.e. real fruit v . sham fruit) and label elements. In the food advertisement c…
Residential Summer Camp Intervention Improves Camp Food Environment
Improving the camp food environment can improve FV intake among youth in this setting
Accuracy and consistency of weights provided by home bathroom scales
Digital home bathroom scales provide sufficiently accurate and consistent weights for public health research. Reminders to zero scales before each use may further improve accuracy of self-reported weight
Assessment of the dining environment on and near the campuses of fifteen post-secondary institutions
Objective The present study evaluated the restaurant and dining venues on and near post-secondary campuses varying in institution size. Design The Nutrition Environment Measures Survey for Restaurants (NEMS-R) was modified to evaluate restaurants as fast food, sit down and fast casual; and campus dining venues as dining halls, student unions and snack bar/cafés. ANOVA with post hoc Tukey's B and T tests were used to distinguish differences betwee…
