Barriers and Facilitators to 24-Month Maintenance of the Faith, Activity, and Nutrition Program in the U.S
Little is known about the barriers and facilitators to organizational maintenance of faith-based health promotion programs. This study used qualitative data (collected from 2016–2019) from pastors ( n = 81) and program coordinators ( n = 103) to identify barriers and facilitators to 24-month maintenance of a faith-based physical activity (PA) and healthy eating (HE) intervention in South Carolina. Barriers differed for PA versus HE: resistance to…

NEW Soul for Families was well received by community partners and participants. More studies are needed to determine effectiveness
Socially Distanced Data Collection
Introduction. Electronic Bluetooth scales (e-scales) may be useful for remote weight assessment. This study analyzed predictors of engagement with e-scales and feasibility for remote weight assessment. Method. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, participants ( n = 150, 100% African American, 79% female, average age 48.2 ± 10.6 years) in an ongoing trial were invited to receive an e-scale. Participants had 1 month to complete a weigh-in. Email, text, an…
Covid-19 Pandemic Associations on Mental and Physical Health in African Americans Participating in a Behavioral Intervention
The Fasting and Shifted Timing (Fast) of Eating Study
It's having something that you've done it for
For-cause physical activity events reach many people. Little research has applied Self-Determination Theory to participants' experiences in for-cause physical activity events. This qualitative study explored participants' ( n = 18) experiences in 5K for-cause physical activity events and intention to complete future events. Interviews were recorded and transcribed verbatim. Emergent coding assessed responses for themes. Constructs of competence a…
Pathways of influences leading to adoption of the Faith, Activity and Nutrition (FAN) program in a statewide initiative
Investigating Socioeconomic Disparities in the Potential Healthy Eating and Physical Activity Environments of Churches
Objective Church Environment Audits and Attendee Perceptions of Healthy Eating and Physical Activity Supports within the Church Setting
Interventions in faith-based settings are increasingly popular, due to their effectiveness for improving attendee health outcomes and behaviors. Little past research has examined the important role of the church environment in individual-level outcomes using objective environmental audits. This study examined associations between the objectively measured physical church environment and attendees' perceptions of physical activity (PA) and healthy …
When helping helps
Results suggest that cancer survivors can benefit from participating in for-cause physical activity events, including more regular physical activity. Researchers need to further investigate the role of helping others when examining health behaviors and outcomes, and cancer organizations should continue encouraging cancer survivors to help others by participating in physical activity events
