Potential Language-Based Mechanisms of Action in Motivational Interviewing for Diet Change
< .01]). However, use of MI was not associated with changes in diet or ambivalence (e.g., complex reflections were negatively correlated with changes in ambivalence [ρ = -.31]). In conclusion, counseling may not contribute to improvements in diet and ambivalence via MI-specific mechanisms. Careful consideration should be made when using MI versus other behavior change techniques when supporting diet-related change
Preliminary Support for the Use of Motivational Interviewing to Improve Parent/Adult Caregiver Behavior for Obesity and Cancer Prevention
Motivational interviewing (MI) is a promising behavioral intervention for improving parent and adult caregiver (PAC) health behavior for obesity and cancer prevention. This study explored the preliminary effects of MI from a registered dietitian (RDMI) within an obesity prevention intervention to promote PAC behavior change and positive proxy effects on children and the home environment. N = 36 PAC/child dyads from low-resource communities were e…
Diet Quality, Carotenoid Status, and Body Composition in NCAA Division I Athletes
Objectives: In this paper, we examined diet quality and associations between changes in skin carotenoids and body composition among selected NCAA Division I athletes. Methods: Athletes from women's (rowing, swimming, gymnastics) and men's (swimming, wrestling) teams at a large Midwest university (N = 129) completed one online food frequency questionnaire and 2 in-person visits, once in-season and once out-of-season, to assess skin carotenoids and…
Contribution of snacks to dietary intakes of young children in the United States
Nutritional quality of children's diets is a public health priority in the fight against childhood obesity and chronic diseases. The main purpose of this study was to determine contribution of snacks to energy and nutrient intakes and to identify leading snack food sources of energy, total fat, and added sugars amongst young children in the United States. Using the 2005-2012 NHANES data, dietary intakes of 2- to 5-year-old children were analysed …
Health Behaviors and Perceptions of Cancer Survivors Harvesting at an Urban Garden
Perceptions of positive behavior changes associated with harvesting at an urban garden targeting cancer survivors may inform future community and health promotion interventions aimed at improving adherence to evidence-based lifestyle behavior guidelines for cancer survivorship
Differences in Amounts and Types of Physical Activity by Obesity Status in US Adults
Significant differences exist in intensity, frequency, and duration of physical activity by weight status. This information suggests a targeted approach to current physical activity interventions be explored
