Fidelity to an early childhood home visitation program model’s prenatal physical activity curriculum modules
Urban‐rural disparities in childhood obesogenic environments in the United States
BACKGROUND: Research is needed that identifies environmental resource disparities and applies multiple rural definitions. Therefore, this study aims to examine urban-rural differences in food and physical activity (PA) environment resource availability by applying several commonly used rural definitions. We also examine differences in resource availability within urban-rural categories that are typically aggregated. METHODS: Six food environment …
Effectiveness of a Point-of-Decision Prompt to Encourage Physical Distancing on Greenways and Rail-Trails During the Covid-19 Pandemic
Adherence to public health messaging recommending physical distancing in public outdoor spaces during the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic and strategies to promote physical distancing are currently unknown. This study examined the effectiveness of a point-of-decision prompt to increase physical distancing (maintaining at least 6 ft of distance) on greenways and rail-trails using systematic observation with passive infrared cameras. Results …
An etic view of LGBTQ healthcare
Current research in SGM health outcomes and disparities has made great strides, but a more in-depth understanding of the health needs of the population and how to address them is still required. This study aims to identify the health needs of the SGM population through in-depth interviews with researchers and health care providers that have spent their careers working with members of this population. Four themes were identified: LGBQ and trans ou…
Field Test of a Passive Infrared Camera for Measuring Trail-Based Physical Activity
Introduction: Trails are ubiquitous and far-reaching, but research on the impact trails have on physical activity is limited by the lack of resource-efficient, accurate, and practical systematic observation tools. Commonly used infrared trail sensors count trail use and may broadly differentiate activity (i.e., bicyclist vs. pedestrian), but cannot detect nuances needed for outcomes research such as frequency, intensity, time, and type of activit…
Environmental Factors Associated with Physical Activity in Rural U.S. Counties
Variations across the rural-urban continuum in environmental factors associated with adults' PA, highlight the uniqueness of rural PA and the need to further study what succeeds in creating active rural places
What Sets Physically Active Rural Communities Apart from Less Active Ones? A Comparative Case Study of Three US Counties
Multi-organizational PA coalitions may hold promise for rural PA by directly influencing Human and Organizational Capital in the short term and the other forms of capital in the long term
Do State Comprehensive Planning Statutes Address Physical Activity
Less than one-quarter of U.S. adults meet physical activity (PA) recommendations, with rural residents less likely to be active than urban residents. The built environment has been identified as a potential facilitator of PA and local comprehensive plans are a foundational tool for guiding the development of the built environment. The purpose of this study was therefore to understand the current landscape of comprehensive planning state statutes …
The Effects of Play Streets on Social and Community Connectedness in Rural Communities
Promoting physical activity (PA) is a long-standing public health initiative to improve overall health and wellbeing. Innovative strategies such as Play Streets, temporary activation of public spaces to provide safe places for active play, are being adopted in urban and rural communities to increase PA among children. As part of these strategies, aspects of social and community connectedness may be strengthened. This study analyzes focus groups a…
The Importance of Individual-Site and System-Wide Community Health Needs Assessments
In order to fulfill the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act's Community Health Needs Assessment requirements, hospital systems sometimes vary in detail between individual hospital sites or locations and performing an assessment for the entire system. This article examines needs assessments and their accompanying implementation plans across a large university hospital system and finds support for conducting assessments at the local site-lev…
A qualitative assessment of home visitors’ knowledge, skills, and abilities in delivering prenatal physical activity curriculum modules
Evaluability assessment of “growing healthy communities,” a mini-grant program to improve access to healthy foods and places for physical activity
The EA process provided pilot data that suggest that other state, regional, and national funders should provide centralized assistance for data collection and evaluation from the outset of a mini-grant award program
Length of Residence and Cardiovascular Health among Afro-Caribbean Immigrants in New York City
Tobacco and Other Drug Use among Foster Care Adolescents in West Virginia
This study provides evidence of tobacco and drug use in West Virginia's FC adolescents and highlights a need for appropriate interventions for this vulnerable population
A Mixed Methods Evaluation of a 12-Week Insurance-Sponsored Weight Management Program Incorporating Cognitive-Behavioral Counseling
Physical activity is critical in healthy weight loss, yet there is still much to be learned about psychosocial mechanisms of physical activity behavior change in weight loss. A sequential mixed methods approach was used to assess the physical and psychosocial impact of a 12-week cognitive—behavioral weight management program and explore factors associated with weight loss. Quantitative data (N = 55) revealed program completion rate and mean perce…
