Racial/Ethnic Trends in Virtual Mental Health Care Utilization Among Undergraduate Students
Background Undergraduate students are particularly in need of mental health support, but demand has far surpassed resources. This gap between mental health diagnoses and support is particularly large among Asian, Hispanic/Latinx, and Black students. Supplementing on-campus care with a virtual-only behavioral health partner may shift these trends. Objective This study is aimed at comparing the number of undergraduate students from different racial…
School as a Protective Setting for Excess Weight Gain and Child Obesity
BACKGROUND: The structure provided by school settings even with no specific obesity-intervention may prevent weight gain. This meta-analytic study considered this premise by examining weight outcomes from control groups in published randomized controlled trials of school-year obesity-related interventions conducted in-school and out-of-school. METHODS: A systematic review and random-effects meta-analysis were conducted in accordance with Preferre…
Examining childhood obesity through the lens of developmental psychopathology
Rates of childhood overweight and obesity among youth in the United States remain historically high and can persist into adulthood, resulting in increased health care expenditures, comorbidities, and reduced quality of life. The purpose of this article is to illustrate how principles drawn from developmental psychopathology (DP) can be applied to enhance current conceptualizations of obesity risk during childhood and beyond. DP is a theoretical p…
Executive function and dietary intake in youth
Measures of Acculturation and Relations to zBMI among Mexican-Origin Youth
The Heat Is On
Despite evidence that youth gain weight disproportionately over the summer months, few studies examine contributing obesogenic behaviors. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, this study examined associations between summertime dietary intake patterns and executive function among 79 low-income urban minority early adolescent girls (ages 9-13 years). Participants were interviewed via the multiple-pass 24-hour dietary recall method and completed indi…
