Immigration Policies Shape Latinos’ Trust in Health Information
Longitudinal policy surveillance of state obesity legislation in California, 1999–2020
This database can be leveraged to advance our knowledge of effective and equitable policy instruments to prevent and reduce obesity. Results reveal important policy elements that may impact legislative success, including policy topic, and contribute to a nascent evidence base for public health law research, legal epidemiology, and practice. Future work should investigate the role of policy effectiveness research and evidence on legislative policy…
Understanding the Benefits of Different Types and Timing of Education for Mental Health
Both type and timing of educational credential predicted mental health. Black women's mental higher especially benefited from higher educational credentials
A corner store intervention to improve access to fruits and vegetables in two Latino communities
Objective Investments have been made to alter the food environment of neighbourhoods that have a disproportionate number of unhealthy food venues. Corner store conversions are one strategy to increase access to fruits and vegetables (F&V). Although the literature shows modest success, the effectiveness of these interventions remains equivocal. The present paper reports on the evaluation of Proyecto MercadoFRESCO, a corner store conversion interve…
Substantial improvements not seen in health behaviors following corner store conversions in two Latino food swamps
Results suggest limited effectiveness of food retail interventions on improving health behaviors. Future research should focus on other strategies to reduce community-level obesity
Consistency of Moderate to Vigorous Physical Activity in Middle School Physical Education
This study assessed the consistency of moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) in a sample of middle school physical education lessons. Random intercept hierarchical linear regressions were employed to model the relationship between consistency of MVPA and independent variables, including lesson and teacher characteristics. Larger classes spent significantly more time in consistent MVPA in the absence of controlling for teacher characterist…
