Stress Intervention Trials for Immigrant Parents in the United States
Validation of a brief food parenting measure for fathers
Understanding the association between everyday discrimination and self-esteem among young adults
This study aimed to examine the association between perceived everyday discrimination and self-esteem and whether this relationship can be mediated by personality traits among young adults. Data were drawn from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics Transition into Adulthood supplement (n = 1,288). Structural Equation Modeling path analysis was used to examine the association between everyday discrimination, personality traits, and self-esteem. The r…
Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Fathers' Food Parenting Practices and Children's Diets
Racial and ethnic disparities in children's diets are prevalent. Little is known about how fathers' food parenting practices may contribute to these disparities. We examined racial and ethnic variations in food parenting practices and their associations with 2–6-year-old children's diets in a cross-sectional sample of U.S. fathers surveyed in 2021–2023 (N = 1015; 16% Asian, 9% Black, 6% Hispanic, 70% White; Mage = 37 years) using path analysis. F…
Parent empowerment as a buffer between perceived stress and parenting self-efficacy in immigrant parents
Prospective Associations Between Fathers’ Engagement in Infant Caregiving and Their Weight-Related Behaviors and Mental Health
Fathers’ engagement in infant caregiving is linked with positive social, emotional, and developmental outcomes in children; however, its relationship with fathers’ own health is largely unknown. This longitudinal study examined associations between fathers’ caregiving engagement with their 6-month-old infants and their physical activity, sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) consumption, nighttime sleep duration, and depressive symptoms 6 months later w…
Development and Psychometric Properties of the Sleep Parenting Scale for Infants
Although infants' sleep behaviors are shaped by their interactions with parents at bedtime, few tools exist to capture parents' sleep parenting practices. This study developed a Sleep Parenting Scale for Infants (SPS-I) and aimed to (1) explore and validate its factorial structure, (2) examine its measurement invariance across mothers and fathers, and (3) investigate its reliability and concurrent and convergent validity. SPS-I was developed via …
Examining the Associations between Walk Score, Perceived Built Environment, and Physical Activity Behaviors among Women Participating in a Community-Randomized Lifestyle Change Intervention Trial
Little is known about the relationship between perceived and objective measures of the built environment and physical activity behavior among rural populations. Within the context of a lifestyle-change intervention trial for rural women, Strong Hearts, Healthy Communities (SHHC), we examined: (1) if Walk Score (WS), an objective built environment measure, was associated with perceived built environment (PBE); (2) if WS and PBE were associated wit…
Associations between frequency of food shopping at different food sources and fruit and vegetable intake among rural residents in upstate New York, USA
Objective: To examine the frequency of shopping at different food sources and the associations between shopping at different food sources and fruit and vegetable (FV) intake among upstate New York rural residents.

Rural corner store owners’ perceptions of stocking healthier foods in response to proposed SNAP retailer rule changes
Environmental Influences on Physical Activity among Rural Adults in Montana, United States
Rural populations in the United States have lower physical activity levels and are at a higher risk of being overweight and suffering from obesity than their urban counterparts. This paper aimed to understand the environmental factors that influence physical activity among rural adults in Montana. Eight built environment audits, 15 resident focus groups, and 24 key informant interviews were conducted between August and December 2014. Themes were …
