Is It Rape or Consent? College Men Just Don’t Know
Introduction: Women and LGBTQ+ undergraduates face higher rates of sexual assault and rape compared to cisgender male peers-the overwhelming majority of perpetrators. Federal policies have aimed to curb campus sexual violence, yet questions remain about the efficacy of consent education, particularly among cisgender heterosexual men. Methods: This study surveyed 1567 undergraduate students at a large Northeastern public university in 2017 and 202…
Examination of perceived neighborhood characteristics and transportation on changes in physical activity and sedentary behavior: The Trial of Activity in Adolescent Girls
Measurement of Perceived School Climate for Active Travel in Children
School climate for active travel is a measurable construct, and preliminary evidence suggests relationships with more support for active travel from friends and family
The Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale With a Young Adolescent Population: A Confirmatory Factor Analysis
The Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression scale (CES-D) was developed to assess the population prevalence of depression. The CES-D was developed and normed on an adult population. Since the CES-D's publication, various studies have both used and psychometrically assessed the scale for older adolescent populations. However, we found no report of the CES-D's psychometric properties for young adolescent populations. We conducted a confirmato…
Scale Development for Perceived School Climate for Girls' Physical Activity
School climate for girls' physical activity is a measurable construct, and preliminary evidence suggests a relationship with physical activity
The Role of Peer Social Network Factors and Physical Activity in Adolescent Girls
Frequency of PA with friends was an important correlate of PA among the peer network variables for adolescent girls
Longitudinal Invariance of the Center for Epidemiologic Studies-Depression Scale among Girls and Boys in Middle School
This study tested the longitudinal factorial invariance of a theoretically consistent, higher-order model for Center for Epidemiologic Studies-Depression (CES-D) scores among adolescent girls and boys in middle school. Data were collected from 2,416 adolescents who completed a survey containing the CES-D in the fall of 1998, spring of 1999, and spring of 2000. The invariance analyses were conducted using LISREL 8.50 with maximum likelihood estima…
Naturally Occurring Changes in Physical Activity Are Inversely Related to Depressive Symptoms During Early Adolescence
Objective: We examined the relationship between naturally occurring changes in physical activity and depressive symptoms across a 2-year period among adolescent boys and girls. Methods: Participants (N = 4594) reported their frequency of physical activity outside of school and completed the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression scale in the Fall of 1998 (beginning of 7th grade; baseline data), Spring of 1999 (end of 7th grade; interim dat…
Prevalence and Correlates of Depressive Symptoms in Young Adolescents
Elevated depressive symptomatology was a prevalent problem. Substance use was often associated with depressive symptoms, especially among girls
Decreasing Barriers for Teens: Evaluation of a New Teenage Pregnancy Prevention Strategy in School-Based Clinics
In the past students requesting contraceptives from SBCs [school-based clinics] had been given vouchers to pick up the contraceptives at community clinics at no cost. Because many vouchers went unfilled a new policy involving direct on-site distribution of contraceptives was instituted in May 1998. (Appointments were necessary for requesting contraceptives.) In the present study we sought to evaluate the effects of the change in distribution syst…
Survey Development for Assessing Correlates of Young Adolescents' Eating
We estimated psychometric properties for a range of measures in a diverse sample. This is important as the increasing demand for outcomes-based research expands the need for psychometrically sound survey measures
