Application of the transtheoretical model to sedentary behaviors and its association with physical activity status
(Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2017-04-27)Background: The Transtheoretical Model (TTM) is a successful framework for guiding behavior change programs for several health behaviors, yet its application to reduce of sedentary behavior has been neglected. In addition, ... -
Cadence (steps/min) and intensity during ambulation in 6-20 year olds: The CADENCE-kids study
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2018-02-26)Background: Steps/day is widely utilized to estimate the total volume of ambulatory activity, but it does not directly reflect intensity, a central tenet of public health guidelines. Cadence (steps/min) represents an ... -

(MDPI, 2023-12-01)According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), about 87% of Asian Americans had received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine as of July 2023. The purpose of this study is to identify the sources ... -
Cost effectiveness of a cultural physical activity intervention to reduce blood pressure among Native Hawaiians with hypertension
(Springer Nature, 2022-01)Objective: The aim of this study was to calculate the costs and assess whether a culturally grounded physical activity intervention offered through community-based organizations is cost effective in reducing blood pressure ... -
Double burden of COVID-19 knowledge deficit: low health literacy and high information avoidance
(Springer Nature, 2022-12-01)Objective: People with lower levels of health literacy are likely to report engaging in information avoidance. However, health information avoidance has been overlooked in previous research on responses to viral outbreaks. ... -
Evaluations of validity and reliability of a transtheoretical model for sedentary behavior among college students
(JCFCorp SG PTE LTD, 2015-09)Objective: To evaluate the measurement properties of the Transtheoretical Model (TTM) questionnaire for sedentary behaviors among college students and to examine the validity and reliability of the developed TTM questionnaire. ... -
Factors associated with growth in daily smoking among Indigenous adolescents
(Wiley, 2012-12-01)North American Indigenous adolescents smoke earlier, smoke more, and are more likely to become regular smokers as adults than youth from any other ethnic group, yet we know very little about their early smoking trajectories. ... -
General population and medical student perceptions of good and bad doctors in Mozambique
(2011-04)Context: A key element of the doctor-patient relationship is to understand the patient's and doctor's perceptions of quality care. -
How fast is fast enough? Walking cadence (steps/min) as a practical estimate of intensity in adults: A narrative review
(BMJ, 2018-05-31)Background: Cadence (steps/min) may be a reasonable proxy-indicator of ambulatory intensity. A summary of current evidence is needed for cadence-based metrics supporting benchmark (standard or point of reference) and ... -
Learning interaction between statistical learning experiments
(2021-05-31)When participants in a statistical learning paradigm are asked to learn from two incompatible or competing inputs, they often fail to learn from one or both inputs. This study presents the results of two experiments that ... -
Mapping of schistosomiasis and soil-transmitted helminths in Namibia: The first large-scale protocol to formally include rapid diagnostic tests
(Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2015-07-21)Background: Namibia is now ready to begin mass drug administration of praziquantel and albendazole against schistosomiasis and soil-transmitted helminths, respectively. Although historical data identifies areas of transmission ... -
Moderators of the association between exposure to violence in community, family, and dating contexts and substance use disorder risk among North American Indigenous adolescents
(SAGE Publications, 2021-05)Exposure to violence and substance abuse are salient public health concerns among Indigenous people (i.e., American Indian and Canadian First Nations). Despite this, little research has examined the association between the ... -
