Evaluating Priorities, a novel eating disorder prevention program targeting overvaluation of weight and shape
Our objective was to compare the Body Project eating disorder prevention program that targets pursuit of the thin ideal and has a broad evidence-base to Priorities, a new eating disorder prevention program that targets overvaluation of weight and shape, a novel transdiagnostic risk factor with greater predictive potency for future onset of all eating disorders, to explore which is more effective at reducing eating disorder risk factors and sympto…
A One-Stop Shop Platform Supporting Primary Care Providers Diagnosing, Managing, and Navigating Patients Living with Chronic Conditions
Background: Primary care is the cornerstone of integrated care models for managing chronic conditions, offering continuous, comprehensive, and coordinated care. Primary care providers (PCPs) focus on preventive care, early intervention, and ongoing monitoring, which are key to managing chronic conditions and preventing complications. For that, PCPs needs to adhere to quality standards and be experts in navigating their patients not only through t…
Is being anti-vegan a distinct dietarian identity? An investigation with omnivores, vegans, and self-identified “anti-vegans”
Adding to research on the form and content of anti-vegan sentiment, recent scholarship has identified a group of individuals who self-subscribe as "anti-vegan". Here, we sought to determine whether anti-veganism might reflect a distinct dietarian identity with its own unique ideological profile. Two-hundred and fourteen vegans, 732 omnivores, and 222 self-identified "anti-vegans" were assessed using a survey methodology that included the Dietaria…
Fuzzy constructs in technology usage scales
The mass adoption of digital technologies raises questions about how they impact people and society. Associations between technology use and negative correlates (e.g., depression and anxiety) remain common. However, pre-registered studies have failed to replicate these findings. Regardless of direction, many designs rely on psychometric scales that claim to define and quantify a construct associated with technology engagement. These often suggest…

Female Overweight and Obesity in Adolescence: Developmental Trends and Ethnic Differences in Prevalence, Incidence, and Remission
A meta-analytic review of depression prevention programs for children and adolescents: Factors that predict magnitude of intervention effects.
In this meta-analytic review, the authors summarized the effects of depression prevention programs for youth as well as investigated participant, intervention, provider, and research design features associated with larger effects. They identified 47 trials that evaluated 32 prevention programs, producing 60 intervention effect sizes. The average effect for depressive symptoms from pre-to-posttreatment (r = .15) and pretreatment to-follow-up (r = …
A meta-analytic review of obesity prevention programs for children and adolescents: The skinny on interventions that work
This meta-analytic review summarizes obesity prevention programs and their effects and investigates participant, intervention, delivery, and design features associated with larger effects. A literature search identified 64 prevention programs seeking to produce weight gain prevention effects, of which 21% produced significant prevention effects that were typically pre- to post effects. Larger effects emerged for programs that targeted children an…
Psychological and Behavioral Risk Factors for Obesity Onset in Adolescent Girls: A Prospective Study.
Because little is known about risk factors for obesity, the authors tested whether certain psychological and behavioral variables predicted future onset of obesity. The authors used data from a prospective study of 496 adolescent girls who completed a baseline assessment at age 11-15 years and 4 annual follow-ups. Self-reported dietary restraint, radical weight-control behaviors, depressive symptoms, and perceived parental obesity--but not high-f…
Eating disorder prevention programs: A meta-analytic review
This meta-analysis of eating disorder prevention programs found that intervention effects ranged from an absence of any effects to reductions in current and future eating pathology. Certain effects persisted as long as 2 years and were superior to minimal-intervention control conditions. Larger effects occurred for selected (vs. universal), interactive (vs. didactic), and multisession (vs. single session) programs; for programs offered solely to …

Metabolic Syndrome X: A Postmenopausal Woman's Hidden Nemesis
Metabolic syndrome X is a combination of modifiable (physiological, morphological, lifestyle) and non-modifiable (genotype, sex, age, race) risk factors that are likely precursors to non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) and cardiovascular disease (CVD), two of the top ten killers of postmenopausal women. This article describes the components of syndrome X, explains why women should be concerned about it, and delineates risk factors. Al…
Racial Segregation among Postsecondary Workers
This article examines the racial composition and degree of job segregation among current and recently hired employees in U.S. four-year colleges and universities. After describing aggregate level patterns of black representation by job category, a contextual analysis identifies organizational conditions under which the racial segregation of postsecondary workers is most, and least, severe. Hypotheses are derived from different views of the forces…
