Impact of transition of medical journals from print to online-only on their scholarly performance
Many scientific journals have made the transition from print and online to online-only publication. The printed version offers something tangible that carries the distinct brand of the journal and/or the society it represents. Journals’ transition to electronic-only publication may reduce the environmental impact of publication and its cost (Wymbs S (2020). To print or not to print: 4 things societies should consider before moving members online …
Cross-Sectional Study of Location-Based Built Environments, Physical Activity, Dietary Intake, and Body Mass Index in Adult Twins
We examined relationships between walkability and health behaviors between and within identical twin pairs, considering both home (neighborhood) walkability and each twin's measured activity space. Continuous activity and location data (via accelerometry and GPS) were obtained in 79 pairs over 2 weeks. Walkability was estimated using Walk Score ® (WS); home WS refers to neighborhood walkability, and GPS WS refers to the mean of individual WSs mat…
The pillars of health
Achievement of commonly endorsed health behaviors is associated with lower BMI (especially sedentary and MVPA targets) and depressive symptoms score (especially sedentary and smoking targets). This provides further support of health behavior promotion to improve health outcomes
Differences in Stress and Anxiety Among Women With and Without Children in the Household During the Early Months of the Covid-19 Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic and resulting lockdowns have had a disproportionate impact on parents of children under 18, particularly women. Mandatory school closures and loss of childcare resulted in parents balancing work, teaching, and childcare needs. A number of studies have examined changes in mental health of parents, but to date no studies have compared the differences in stress and anxiety levels between women with and without children in the U…
Measurement of neighborhood-based physical activity bouts
This study examined how buffer type (shape), size, and the allocation of activity bouts inside buffers that delineate the neighborhood spatially produce different estimates of neighborhood-based physical activity. A sample of 375 adults wore a global positioning system (GPS) data logger and accelerometer over 2 weeks under free-living conditions. Analytically, the amount of neighborhood physical activity measured objectively varies substantially,…
Neighborhood Deprivation Moderates Shared and Unique Environmental Influences on Hazardous Drinking
Findings point to amplification of early childhood as well as unique adulthood environmental risk on hazardous drinking in areas of greater deprivation
Stress, Anxiety, and Change in Alcohol Use During the Covid-19 Pandemic
The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) has impacted the lives of people worldwide since being declared a pandemic on March 11, 2020. Social restrictions aimed at flattening the curve may be associated with an increase in stress and anxiety, which may increase the use of alcohol as a coping mechanism. The objective of this study was to examine if stress and anxiety were associated with changes in alcohol use in a sample of adult twins. Twins allowed us …
Guidelines for developing, translating, and validating a questionnaire in perioperative and pain medicine
The task of developing a new questionnaire or translating an existing questionnaire into a different language might be overwhelming. The greatest challenge perhaps is to come up with a questionnaire that is psychometrically sound, and is efficient and effective for use in research and clinical settings. This article provides guidelines for the development and translation of questionnaires for application in medical fields, with a special emphasis…
