Many of us midwesterners do not agree with the myriad of stereotypes that peg us as mundane, empty, or happy to reject progress, and we are usually thrilled when someone provides an accurate and fresh midwestern perspective. For this reason, Jon K. Lauck's book The Good Country: A History of the American Midwest 1800–1…
Dyadic Analysis of a Self-report Physical Activity Measure for Adult-Youth Dyads
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…
Feasibility and Acceptability of Implementing a Culturally Adapted Cooking Curriculum for Burundian and Congolese Refugee Families
Pika Pamoja (Cook Together) is an eight-session cooking curriculum for Burundian and Congolese refugee families, culturally adapted from the evidence-based iCook 4-H curriculum to address dietary acculturation barriers to and facilitators of food security. The goal of this study was to determine the feasibility and acceptability of implementing Pika Pamoja. Researchers and a multilingual community aid implemented Pika Pamoja in a pre-post pilot i…
Development and Validation of the Policies, Opportunities, Initiatives and Notable Topics (POINTS) Audit for Campuses and Worksites
Background: Workplace or campus wellness/obesity-prevention policies and initiatives can improve health. Research tools to assess worksite or campus policies/initiatives are scarce. Thus, the aim of this research is to develop and validate the policies, opportunities, initiatives, and notable topics (POINTS) audit. Methods: POINTS was developed and refined via expert review, pilot-testing, and field testing. Trained researchers completed a web-ba…
Development and Validation of the Vending Evaluation for Nutrient-Density (Vend)ing Audit
Background: This paper describes the development and validation of the Vending Evaluation for Nutrient-Density (VEND)ing audit to comprehensively evaluate vended products based upon healthfulness, price and promotion, and machine accessibility. Methods: A novel vending nutrient-density score was created to determine the healthfulness of vended snack/beverage products. Field tested in United States colleges, VENDing audit (∑nutrient-density + 10 ×…
Development of iGrow
This manuscript describes the development of a “learn by actively participating” curriculum for youth and their adult caregivers (dyad pair) to increase gardening skills, culinary competence, and family meal time. The curriculum was developed by integrating “iCook 4-H” and Junior Masters Gardener “Health and Nutrition from the Garden”, and “Essential Elements of 4-H Youth Development” curriculums with additional resources for gardening activities…
Development and Validation of a Simple Convenience Store SHELF Audit
Background This paper describes the development, reliability, and convergent validity of a practical tool-the Convenience Store Supportive Healthy Environment for Life-Promoting Food (SHELF) Audit. Methods Audit items included: a variety of fresh, processed, and frozen fruits and vegetables; low-fat dairy products; healthy staples and frozen meals; healthy food incentive programs; items sold in check-out areas; portion/cup sizes; and pricing. Eac…
Teens Implementing a Childhood Obesity Prevention Program in the Community
High school student researchers and teen leaders from the Health Science Technology Academy (HSTA), under the supervision of HSTA teachers, led a childhood obesity prevention (COP) program (iCook 4-H). The objective was to evaluate the feasibility and perceptions of having teen leaders implement a COP program for dyads of youth (9−10 years old) and their primary adult food preparer. Behavior change and perceptions were assessed through surveys an…
Survey Development to Assess College Students' Perceptions of the Campus Environment
CEPS appears to be a valid and reliable tool for assessing college students' perceptions of their health-related campus environment
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
Food-related behavior and intake of adult main meal preparers of 9–10 year-old children participating in iCook 4-H
