Identification of measurement needs to prevent childhood obesity in high-risk populations and environments
Foti KE , Perez CL , Knapp EA , Kharmats AY , Sharfman AS , Arteaga SS , Moore LV , Bennett WL . Am J Prev Med 2020 59 (5) 746-754 INTRODUCTION: Children at highest obesity risk include those from certain racial/ethnic groups, from low-income families, with disabilities, or living in high-risk communities. However, a 2013 review of the National Collaborative for Childhood Obesity Research Measures Registry identified few measures focused on children at highest obesity risk. The objective is to (1) identify individual and environmental measures of diet and physical activity added to the Measures Registry since 2013 used among high-risk populations or settings and (2) describe methods for their development, adaptation, or validation. METHODS: Investigators screened references in the Measures Registry from January 2013 to September 2017 (n=351) and abstracted information about individual and environmental measures developed for, adapted for, or applied to high-risk populations or settings, including measure type, study population, adaptation and validation methods, and psychometric properties. RESULTS: A total of 38 measures met inclusion criteria. Of these, 30 assessed individual dietary (n=25) or physical activity (n=13) behaviors, and 11 assessed the food (n=8) or physical activity (n=7) environment. Of those, 17 measures were developed for, 9 were applied to (i.e., developed in a general population and used without modification), and 12 were adapted (i.e., modified) for high-risk populations. Few measures were used in certain racial/ethnic groups (i.e., American Indian/Alaska Native, Hawaiian/Pacific Islander, and Asian), children with disabilities, and rural (versus urban) communities. CONCLUSIONS: Since 2013, a total of 38 measures were added to the Measures Registry that were used in high-risk populations. However, many of the previously identified gaps in population coverage remain. Rigorous, community-engaged methodologic research may help researchers better adapt and validate measures for high-risk populations. |
Applying public health principles to the HIV epidemic - how are we doing?
Frieden TR , Foti KE , Mermin J . N Engl J Med 2015 373 (23) 2281-7 Adecade ago, we called for applying public health principles to the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) epidemic in the United States.1 Over the past decade, U.S. health departments, community organizations, and health care providers have expanded HIV screening and targeted testing, and as a result a greater proportion of HIV-infected people are now aware of their infection2,3; the number of reported new diagnoses of HIV infection has decreased4,5; and people with HIV infection are living longer.6 We have more sensitive diagnostic tests; more effective medications and medications with better side-effect profiles; rigorous confirmation that treatment prevents the spread of HIV and improves the health of infected people; and documentation of the potential benefit of preexposure prophylaxis for some high-risk people.7-12 | Despite this progress, most people living with HIV infection in the United States are not receiving antiretroviral treatment (ART)3; notification of partners of infected people remains the exception rather than the norm; and several high-risk behaviors have become more common. Anal sex without a condom has become more common among gay and bisexual men13 and there appears to be an increased number of people sharing needles and other injection paraphernalia.14,15 The number of new infections has increased among younger gay and bisexual men, particularly black men. Although surveillance has improved, data-driven targeted interventions are not being rapidly and effectively implemented in most geographic areas. Much more progress is possible through further application of public health principles by public health departments and the health care system and, most important, through closer integration of health care and public health action. |
Sufficient sleep, physical activity, and sedentary behaviors
Foti KE , Eaton DK , Lowry R , McKnight-Ely LR . Am J Prev Med 2011 41 (6) 596-602 BACKGROUND: Insufficient sleep among adolescents is common and has adverse health and behavior consequences. Understanding associations of physical activity and sedentary behaviors with sleep duration could shed light on ways to promote sufficient sleep. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to determine whether physical activity and sedentary behaviors are associated with sufficient sleep (8 or more hours of sleep on an average school night) among U.S. high school students. METHODS: Data were from the 2009 national Youth Risk Behavior Survey and are representative of 9th-12th-grade students nationally (n=14,782). Associations of physical activity and sedentary behaviors with sufficient sleep were determined using logistic regression models controlling for confounders. Data were analyzed in October 2010. RESULTS: Students who engaged in ≥60 minutes of physical activity daily during the 7 days before the survey had higher odds of sufficient sleep than those who did not engage in ≥60 minutes on any day. There was no association between the number of days students were vigorously active ≥20 minutes and sufficient sleep. Compared to their respective referent groups of 0 hours on an average school day, students who watched TV ≥4 hours/day had higher odds of sufficient sleep and students who played video or computer games or used a computer for something that was not school work ≥2 hours/day had lower odds of sufficient sleep. CONCLUSIONS: Daily physical activity for ≥60 minutes and limited computer use are associated with sufficient sleep among adolescents. |
